I Want Candy...

It is jelly bean season and I couldn't help but follow Jane's lead. The entire time I was knitting these socks, all I could think about was candy.  I wanted to take a trip to a fancy candy store and have some  sour watermelon and sour pink grapefruit, yum. I love those stores with the little bags and the tiny shovels for candy goodness.  

But of course, I took my sweet time with these again! I just wasn't really in the sock knitting mode. They were constantly being set aside for other projects. But now that my pattern is done, I think it might go back to all socks all the time. I wish I was more exciting, but hey that's life.

Sure I want to knit myself other things, but nothing thrills me like a pair of socks. The way the short row heel comes together amazes me every time, it is like magic. The rest of the sock just goes round and round, I think my new found love of stripes helps too.

Specs:

Yarn: Vintage Yarntini, from Pure Knits

Needles: 2mm Addis, next time  I think I will use a 2.5, these are super dense

Time: I first blogged about them September 12th, Finished March 13, 2007...

Again no pattern, or at least the same "pattern" I always use. I guess it is more of a formula than a pattern. I did knit these magic loop style, two at a time.  Otherwise my sock pairs would consist of one sock.

Amazing enough I didn't even plan this heel, I just happen. I am finally through my pile of projects that were semi forgotten. It feels nice to have them completed. Now of course I have visions of more socks dancing in my head, too bad its been 80 here, not really sock wearing weather.

off to eat some more  candy veggies.....

Oh, those are fun. I have a couple of skeins of Yarntini at home that are calling to me now...along with spicy jellybeans. drat!

[Stephanie]

I have never heard of Yarntini before, it sounds like a wonderful name for a yarn. Also, I like your socks, and I found it interesting how the ones in this post and the ones in the previous post are similar colorways. I wish I had a finished pair of socks!

Have fun!
