The Best Sock... EVER!

Crappy cell phone photo, but y'all know.  So much better in person.  Although, not too bad as a photo.

Yes, it's Charade because I love the pattern and I wanted to break up the striping a bit.  I think that helps the toes and heels to pop a bit more.

The yarn is from our Squishy.  I'm hoping all that happy/lovey shit won't rub off on me.  I so do not have time for my own personal squish.    Can you imagine?!  o.O

This sock takes the Best Sock EVER  title away from a pair of socks all y'all haven't even seen yet.  What really tipped this pair of socks into the top slot is the fact that they will not be living with me.  The last thing I need is more frakking socks, but I'm all about a pair that I can love and then send away to a beloved friend.  Photos once they are living with their rightful owner.

Weather has cooled recently and I am enjoying it while it lasts because I know it won't.  Truly wonderful things rarely do.

School has started.  Life continues to be complicated and I still love my lurkers.  Not much changed in nearly 20 days away.  Not that anyone noticed.  *L*

Welcome back!
I absolutely love the colours in that sock. Pink and green are a much underrated combination.
20 days is a long time!

Don't know if you mean lurking readers, but I'm one of those lol. Been reading for a long time, but I'm lazy about commenting. Love the sock tho, the colors are fun.

[Natalie]

That sock is *lovely*. Also yay, you're not dead.

[Jeannette]

Sure glad you like your lurkers because I lurk a lot!
Can you tell us what pattern you used for that sock? I like how the toe looks a lot. I confess: I have a square-ish type foot and that toe looks like it would work better for me.
Thanks.

I did, it makes me nervous when I haven't heard from you in a while. I expect to read about explosions. (Incidentally, my little coworker is heading to your neck of the woods this week. I wish you had time to deal with him - he could stand to have his ego deflated.)
And I do need to point out that few of us could imagine our Squish all squishy before she got squished in the cheese aisle, either.

[Kym]

Definitely noticed! Welcome back, and enjoy the cool days!

[Marilyn]

I noticed! I was about to send out a search party.
Pretty socks! Love the colors. :)
Hope your weather holds. We are back to hot again. Uff.

Welcome back! The blogiverse/blogosphere/whatevwordapplies has not been the same without you.

Those are such cute socks and the pattern you've chosen works beautifully with your yarn.

I can imagine.

I hope your cooler weather lasts longer than you think it will. It definitely helps with complicated life.

I thought perhaps you got lost in the stash. I'm certain I could in mine. I love the pattern, it's very cool looking. Welcome back!

[Becky]

Welcome back! I missed your snarky little arse. Love the sock!

[gayle]

Hugs!! So glad to see you! (I was about to send the sheep to find you and butt you back to the blog...)
Must hunt up Charade pattern. I need a new travel knit.

[CindyCindy]

That is the cheeriest, preppiest sock I have ever seen. It's gorgeous!! How could you not be cheered up by looking at it, yet, I must agree, it isn't quite you. Of course, when I think of you, I think of a whirling vortex of pink and snark. Do you think our Joan could come up with something like that? Hugs, hunny, and happy Monday!!!!!!

[(Not that) Joan]

I have a heart and its cockles are warm. And fuzzy, too! You were missed. Mwah!

[Stacey]

I loved that color and wanted to keep i for myself, but knew I'd never knit it. I'm still working with yarn from 6 years ago. O.o I do love the way charades stitches pull the color. I may have to finally break down and make a pair. As soon as I finish the 3 on the needles. Thank you wonderful girl!
xoxo

[Helen]

I am glad you are back ;)

Beautiful colorway and your knitting is stellar.

[Rosemary McN]

Glad you're back! Coffee just isn't the same without you!

[donna lee]

Somehow I knew you couldn't stay away. Some people will just burst if they don't express themselves.

Love the preppy socks. I've never seen Charade but am off to look for it. Maybe I can put it in the lineup for the sock-of-the-month club for my daughter. (which I am only 2 months behind and will never do again)

[Kathleen]

So happy you are back!!!!! Love the socks!!

xxoo

[KellyS]

socks last a pretty long time

[Gwen]

Yay! You're back!! :)

[Carole]

The colors of that sock really sing. Glad you're back!

[margene]

I think about you every day. I haven't really missed my own blog, however. That Squishy knows her love and colors!

[Patty]

De-lurking. Love the socks - and the pattern.

[Cheryl S.]

You faker. You know we missed you. Great socks.

[Angie]

Beautiful sock pattern made even better by the lovely Squishy yarn!
