Don't you just love it when the yarn fairy visits. I got yarn and I didn't have to pay for it. :~) Can't argue with that one.
Actually this yarn is from my mom. The sock yarn is to make some socks for my mom. It's Seacoast Panda. The one on the left is Sunrise and the one on the left is Desert Rose. The other four skeins are Cotton Tots to make washcloths for baby Blake. Since I'm the faster knitter, I've been designated as the washcloth maker....lol. OK, now I really, really, really need to order some size 7 and 8, 16" circs from Knit Picks.
Now on to my new socks. I present to you my Go-Go socks.
Sounds a lot more fascinating then they really are. I'm just using a plain jane pattern to make these. The yarn I'm using is Cider Moon Glacier in the colorway Go-Go. Folks you've gotta get some of this yarn if you don't have any.....it's sooooooo soft.....Love it!
Good new: My parents are coming up to visit in a little less then 2 weeks, which soooooo has Kaity jazzed. She can't wait for Papa and Grandma to get here. :~)
Bad news: I'm going to have to clean and dust the house.....lol!

Oh, that Seacoast is gorgeous! And I really like the Cider Moon. Will these socks be for you? Hope so. You deserve a pair. I've had to put the socks a way for a few days and knit on an afghan with large needles. Doc says to give my left hand a rest. Grrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteYour mom has great yarn taste. The colors are beautiful. And isn't she smart? She sends you yarn and shows up a couple of weeks later to pick up her socks and washcloths. Your mom rocks! While lost in mitering heaven and gardening, I hardly have time for housework. If someone were coming to visit me, I'd freak, especially right before a move when cleaning house seems like such a waste of time. Just tell them you were knitting . . . for them.
ReplyDeleteawesome sock yarn! wow, between your moms and the cider moon, I don't know which is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteLucky girl! I'm working on socks with the Seacoast right now, it's gorgeous.
