i have a work "to do" list, a home "to do" list and now a blog "to do" list.
1. award prizes to those who played along in my contest almost 3 MONTHS AGO!
2. make my potholder pattern available (it's been tested. now i just need to clean it up a bit).
3. post about the socks i finished a month ago.
let me at least get item 3 taken off of the list. it's the least interesting of course, but it's all i can manage for now. see, my day job has been kind of sucking the life out of me, so when i get home, i end doing crazy things like going to bed at 8:30. or maybe it's just the incessant rain that we've been having that makes me want to cozy up in my bed with my cats and read a trashy novel (i'm on book 4 of the sookie stackhouse series.)
i've also been working on a secret project. i would tell you about it except that then it wouldn't be a secret. now would it.
so, enough with the blah blah.
i call these my troubadour socks because that's the name off the colorway. i love these colors. the yarn is sundara sock which i bought before sundara became super crazy famous and when she was still dyeing varigated yarns. how i love varigated yarns like this.
the pattern is my basic 2x2 rib pattern, top-down, heel-flapped. i love the 2x2 rib.
i've raveled the details here.
have a good weekend everyone. happy and healthy july 4th.
Great socks, I love the colors!

At least the weekend was a brief spot of sunlight. I watched the fireworks (something I normally wouldn't bother to do), and everyone was commenting about the first real sun since the beginning of June.

So pretty! I haven't tried the Sundara yet, but I see it in my future. Good luck getting #1 and 2 done soon... at least before there's a new #3 for the list!

Pretty socks. Those were the Sundara days back then eh?

at first glance i thought those socks were knitted up from some wollmeise. like blue suzanne or something. i was like "it's Suuundara?!" yea. it's too bad she doesn't dye like that anymore. but i guess she is happy with her customer base.
my curiosity is peaked with this surprise!
