Left Foot, Right Foot, repeat

There's a pattern I've been working on lately. Some may call it obsessive, some may call it crazy, some wonder when they're gonna get some, but it's definitely sock lovin' season. Now that I've convinced others that they want a pair, I figure that these lucky folks will now turn their otherwise raised-eyebrow opinions of my latest fanatical objects of affection into something like: 'oh, for me? really? you shouldn't, it's so much work, well I do like green, yadda yadda'. Guess what? It's working! They're fooled, never realizing that it's just another reason to knit another pair. And so it goes.

First victim up is to the right (not politically, thankfully). Patsy from Florida. Poor Patsy didn't know that I just needed an excuse to some really awesome yarn, Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock, a soft, strong 4-ply merino. REALLY GREAT YARN. She chose this beautiful pattern, Spring Forward.

Naturally, I needed to reward myself for this outpouring of generosity. What better way than a quick fix as illustrated to the left. This yarn is yummily soft and stretchy. It's Universal's Classic Worsted Tapestry in China Blue. I'm extremely partial to blue/yellow combos and it cost $6 for a ball of yarn that would make two whole socks. Say no more.

So who's next?

And so it goes...
