socks complete!


this morning. the leaves are changing and it has felt like fall for at least a week now. my new socks are perfect for the season.

whew, it has been awhile since i have completed a pair of socks! for those of you who left comments, here are the details.

yarn :: regia design line by kaffe fassett, color 4259
pattern :: knitting pure & simple beginner's lightweight socks
needles :: knit picks size 0 on 2 circulars


these are slightly thick because i used size 0 needles. i am hoping this will make them last longer. i keep referring to these as my cannon beach socks. my goal was to have them completed by my trip there this weekend with the girls. i am so excited for a weekend away - i really need it and CB happens to be one of my favorite places. it was where our family vacationed every year when i was growing up. ellen's family had a place there too so she loves it as well. i think this is naomi's first time there so we'll see if she loves it as much as ellen and i do!


SOLDand on a doh! note...
i accidently ordered some yarntini yarn recently that i already had in my stash. as i am trying to be really good about keeping it to a minimum (hah! my version of minimum anyways!)...i am offering my duplicate up for sale.

it is merino sport weight - variegated appletini - 260yds - US needles 3-5

i'm asking what i paid. send me an email to amyATgoodtobegirlDOTcom if you want it. first responder gets it, i'll paypal you an invoice.

$23 plus $4.75 shipping = $27.75
SOLD

despite my blunder, i did manage to get a skein that i had been wanting for awhile. it is the colorway home and i might be bringing it to the beach with me. either that or trekking (i always seem to be knitting on trekking on my trips so it seems kind of appropriate that i continue the "tradition").

I really didn't think that any of the K.F. Regia yarn appealed to me until I saw your socks. The turquoise/blue just pops right out there, doesn't it?

A year without a CB trip for our family is like a day without..I don't know, but the year is incomplete. I've only miss 2 out of 52 years. We usually go at Thanksgiving now. Oh and I am in love with the new socks!

I can say from experience that socks knit on US0s definitely last longer. That thickness is good :)
