Socks: Violets Rainbow

More Mini Mochi yarn from Jimmy Beans Wool, this time in the colorway Violets Rainbow





I'm getting better at this sock knitting business. I believe I knit each of these socks only once. No do-overs at all!


They are very soft and will feel great in cold weather. I know, that's pretty hard to imagine in this steamy summer of broken heat records. I'm making plans for some Christmas gift sock knitting now.

The nice thing about ordering from Jimmy Beans is that I can dream up a project on a Friday night, order online, and have the yarn in my mailbox Monday afternoon. Can't beat that!

So pretty! When you look down at your feet, you'll feel serene from the beautiful calm colors.

btw, I love the new photo at the top of your blog. The glowing eyes are so adorable, especially the ones in the far window.

I'm in love with this yarn, too - only wish I had the patience to knit. But what I really came over to say was how much I love your header photo - I spy four sets of eyes?

I was just out to get a photo of the house in the early dawn light but realized after what I had accidentally captured. Yes, Linda, four sets of eyes--the dogs at the gate (Pete must have blinked) and Cody the cat in the window.

It reminds me of the night in the desert scene from PeeWee's Big Adventure.

Those socks are so beautiful, Clair. I envy your feet this winter. And those on your Christmas sock list...

You have earned the right to gloat. You made me laugh this morning. So while we are working your probably knitting away. Have a wonderful day doing what you love.
