yum! yum! yum!

well, my friends, i have found it!

aside from knitting, it is this yarn! tye-dye by knit one, crochet two. my, oh my, it was like butter to knit with, soooooo smooth, soft and easy to needle and heavenly once upon my feet!

i don't know what it is about photos and color but the true colors are so not what you are viewing! the real things are a combo of my favs - variations of green and red - sort of rhubarb and spring green, leaning way toward pond scum! yum! yum!

the pattern is loksins! socks by cassie thoreson which is available on ravelry. it was a quick and easy knit, relatively speaking. by relatively speaking, i mean that it didn't take me toooooo long to memorize the pattern or at least be able to see the error of my ways when i made a boo-boo! and, yes, i would knit this pattern again which is highly conceivable since my sock stash seems to multiply on a regular basis. it appears that i've never met a sock yarn that i didn't love!

speaking of love! i am no longer in love with rain! i was just about to hit the garden this a.m. as the drops started falling. it has been a steady downpour since! argh! my garden is calling but, alas, i cannot answer!!
