so-so
i don't know what came over me, but this weekend i purchased the following self patterning sock yarn.
you see, i don't really like self patterning yarn. the only thing that won me over was the colors. the colors remind me of cupcakes. and then i went all out and knit like crazy so the first sock was finished in a little over a day for no real reason. and i don't love them. i like them ok, but i see the little splotches where the dye isn't supposed to be and i think they look kinda sloppy. but i have cast on for the second to avoid sss. and i won't knit with self patterning again (except for stripes, self striping is ok by me).
the yarn is trekking, i think i'll stick to their multi-colored stripey stuff.

I can see why the colors lured you in - it's very cupcakey, very Neapolitan ice creamy...
Cute, cute, cute little tray!
aww..too bad...I relly like them. they are absolutely adorable, yummy and look just fun!
I LOVE the plate. It is so cute,
The plate it awesome, but I feel the same way you do about the self-striping sock yarn. It's just not my thing.
I just finished mine - same colorway, and I wish I'd done more stockinette, less fancy cloverleaf ribbing. Still, fun color combo!
If they need to have a loving home...look no further:)
haha i think it's because they match the plate. both of which are very cute.
The colors in that sock do remind me of cupcakes! That or Neopolitan ice cream...
Anything cupcake-like is too hard to resist - don't ask...
You are a speed demon knitter to have knocked 'em out in one day!!!
You're crazy!! They are SUPER cute. I like the colors much better than my Trekking yarn ; (
Yep, I made a pair of those, too! I agree about the striping/patterning, but the colors ARE awesome.
it is lovely.. so cuteee. i think i love self patterning yarns. yes i do.. very cute tray by the way
You are me regarding your dislike of self-patterning yarn but approval of self-stripeing. Just letting you know you're not alone!
boy i love that tray! so cute!
I actually love both the tray and the sock. What yarn is it? Where did you get it?
It's not letting me log in as me, so www.radioactive-girl.blogspot.com is me.

Like they said - neapolitan ice cream socks.....yummmmmm!! Very cute and that little tray is adorable.
However, I don't think anything can top the cuteness of my snowman stitchmarkers, which arrived yesterday!
You did such a great job on them!
My daughter loves that color combination, so if you are looking for a home for your socks, just let me know! I love the little plate, too. I find little plates/serving pieces, etc., are hard for me to resist.
Maybe you will like them more once you put them on with some really, really cute shoes??????
I think they are darling.
I think that the socks are cute. And the misplaced bits of dye... chocolate chips perhaps.
I'm sorry I missed out on the snowmen markers. I don't look in every day, and see what happens? So, now I'm checking regularly for penguins.
I love your socks. That is Trekking 126 and one of the most difficult colors of trekking to track down. I have been looking for about 6 months and all I seem to ever find are high priced balls of it on ebay.
What sock pattern do you use? I'm really diggin the heel!
Where did you find the plate? my boyfriends mom would love one like that... It totaly matches the socks
