Project Frogged
1. Media’s Socks (after I had already turned the heel on one too! but it was tiny!)

If you would have asked me at the begining of the month what my favorite color was I would have shouted “RED!” seems that yellow and green take a bit more stock in my life! Two greens & two yellows. I have another skien of yellow in my stash too!

Yarn: I Dream In Color “Smooshy” colorway Happy Forest
Needles: US 2 DPN’s
Mods: None. Knit to pattern exactly.
Verdict: Love the socks. They weren’t the most fun to knit but I see them getting a lot of use in my daily life & they have a great texture. I don’t think I will be twisting another stitch for a while though O_O

I don’t know how I really feel about the yarn though. In the skein it’s, well, smooshy but when you are knitting it seems a little bit scratchy and stringy but in the actual sock it’s smooshy again. It was weird. The color on all three of these pictures is pretty accruate. A very good green in my honest opinion

I’m trying to make these the last pair of socks before the start date of Sock Wars, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen.  I do have some knit pick’s felici at home that is begging to become stripped plain knit socks. 

These were my Media’s Socks before I frogged them for being tiny!

Also, what do you all do with your bits & bobs of left over sock yarn? I was thinking mitered squares but does anyone else have any good ideas? I’d love to hear them!

Also, for love Thursday here are some things I love.

Silly Stallions. (I didn’t notice he had his tounge out till I loaded the picture onto my computer)
I really miss having horses.

Mmmm hand spun yarn!

And I love time warps on the 101.  I also love that my husband swerved in & our of traffic & gunned our little 4 cylinder engine to catch up to this guy so I could take a picture. He’s such an understanding man!

Have a happy weekend everyone! I’m off to Joshua Tree today for some camping time with the husband. The Mr assures me that he read that the Joshua Trees were blooming so I might have some really great pictures when I get back

Also, we have decided to hit up the Grand Canyon for our Anniversary this year. There is so much to do and my SIL is going to bring the Baba up for a visit. So deffinately a no brainer there.
