stash" button....I am no longer worthy!!) I ALMOST made it to my goal date of April 1st. Oh well....But - on the bright side, I have some beautiful Opal yarns - and as an "earthy color" fan - well, I couldn't pass them up! My original quest was for one skein of brown to mix with a variegated to make these gloves. Hmmm--now that I think of it, I guess there was intent involved, wasn't there?
And, I am disappointed with my "InsideOut socks". Where are my stripes?? I have tried everything that I know of, as I really am not a pooling and flashing fan!! But, this is the best I can get!! Darn.... On the first attempt, the entire front of the sock was green/brown pools, and the entire sole was charcoal gray - just big blobs - no movement at all. (In real life, my yarn does not appear blue - but gray). This is what I got after re-winding the yarn and starting from the other end, and also changing needle types. I went from PonyPearl 2.00 mm to Susan Bates 2.00. I can't go any large needle, as my foot is fairly narrow - they would never fit. But - on the bright side..... (My way of coping...) Hmmm - this is hard! Well - I think they are going to fit nicely! And, they will be "unique". Kind word..... sigh....

I like the swirls!!!
WOW - those gloves are sure intricate and beautiful - I'll enjoy watching you make THOSE!
I was just thinking how much I liked the color pattern when I read that you are disappointed with it. What size do you wear!!??
Well, you almost made it until your deadline! Who could resist those gorgeous Opal yarns? I still think you should contact BlueMoon about your yarn although they socks are looking nice.
I like your socks. The glove pattenr is beautiful. I look forward to seeing the colors your choose for them.
The colors of new yarn you bought are wonderful. I can see why you couldn't resist. I know I would have fallen off of the *knit from the stash* wagon, too, if I had been there.
Your knitting is beautiful.
Have a wonderful week!
What yarn are you using for the Inside Out socks? [I do like the swirls, too.] [And the OPAL colors!]
