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.....
