loving this pair of socks!
Since I finished Marnie’s Minkeys, I need another small project on the needles. Right? Right? You always need a small project on the needles, can I get a yeah sistah? At the top of my Ravelry queue – small project edition – was Anne Campbell’s Circle Socks (public rav link here), which I’d decided to knit with my colorful balls of Schachenmayr nomotta Regia Design Line Kaffe Fassett. (I have no idea how to say any of those words except design and line, and maybe Regia.)
Last night I cast on and it was such fun knitting, I just kept saying “Just let me finish this needle” “After this row I’ll be ready for bed” “Let me finish this pattern repeat.” YOU know how that goes. 
circle socks - incredibly fun to knit, and fast!
I added a short section of ribbing at the top, just because I always like ribbing on my socks. Want to see that cool section up close?
whoa. that is REALLY cool.
I’ve decided to name this pair of socks Wowie Zowie, for the most obvious of reasons.
I hope to get something done today besides knitting. Wait. Do I really?! Or is that just what we say because we know we’re supposed to do something besides knitting. I think that’s it – I would actually love nothing more than to sit in my cozy little spot, with endless cups of mint tea, good movies on Netflix, and to knit the whole day, until it’s time for sleep again. Too bad I need sleep.
yeah sistah – and iced mint tea sounds like a perfect summer knitting companion. also lemongrass iced tea. yumm…
mmmm…. lemongrass iced tea, that does sound great! i think we need to buy lemongrass the next time we’re in Chinatown…
Oh cool – love the colors!
On her own blog, Kate just wrote a post titled..woohoo-
thanks, Kate! I love the colors too, and they did look amazing in that pattern. too bad i was just missing my sock-knitting mojo. at least i don’t feel like it was time wasted; it was such fun knitting the pattern with the yarn. that’s what i’m telling myself…..remember how much fun it was, who cares if i screwed up and had to frog…
Those are looking just great! It is always so much fun when somebody knits one of my patterns. And this one (which I knit and then documented after the fact) has just been wildly popular. Simplicity with drams, maybe?
Glad you’re enjoying them.

It must be really cool to create a pattern and see how people make it. I can’t imagine! One of these days I want to try to design something. One-a these days….
