How YOU doin’?
I still don’t get why it’s taken me so long to post these. It must have been part of Spring. But now it’s rainy and I’ve been wearing them in the house (and out to the theater in my nice shoes that aren’t too warm like my sneakers), and I finally am taking some time (away from writing an essay) to post ‘em up.
I don’t even know when I finished these anymore! Or what to say about them, except that I am surprised Phoe didn’t like the yarn. Although it is fairly thin to knit with. It feels really thick on my foot though. I have since started a new sock with this yarn, although the only extraordinary thing about THAT statement is the realization that my sock mojo is finally back.
Socks must be my favorite thing to knit.
You’ve put a spell on me with those colors, that’s for sure!
witchy (Ravelry):
Pattern: Firestarter by Yarnissima
Yarn: Violet Green (Discontinued) Socrates Merino 4ply, destashed from Phoe
Needles: 2.25mm KnitPicks circulars, magic looped. For my next pair of socks I actually got out my Harmony DPNs, if you can believe it.
Off to knit er… write!

Gorgeous socks!
Great socks! I love the colors together and the pattern seems like a perfect fit. Good luck with the writing … you’ll get there!
Love the colors on that one :) Green is my favorite color!
I LOVE your socks! Man, as usual, I seriously need to learn how to knit.
Whee, they look so nice and warm and snuggly. (: And to echo the others, the colour combination rocks. It always amazes me how purple and green (despite how different they are) can always look good together. ;)
All set for winter, aren’t you? Heh.
Re: your comment in one of my blogs… “I visited the palace Schönbrunn in Vienna recently and at the end of the tour was the…” Oh my! Vienna!
Do you have pictures posted? Or a verbal description of the trip, posted? Oh sigh Oh my! Vienna…
And Re: the rest of your comment… Actually my husband did that for me, a long time ago…. Made me a sealing wax stamp of my name. Somehow he etched my name, on a ’silver’ bar, with a handle. Mmmmm, where is that now????????????????????

You’re legs are nicer than the socks. And the socks are super nice.
Those look great! And you’ve nailed why I didn’t like that yarn: too thin. Glad you like it though. :)
Those are gorgeous socks. And, no, I still haven’t learned to knit. *sigh* Seeing what you create makes me want to learn.
