Sock Love!
The Summer of Socks is Dead!
Okay... just for the year, but I'll take it. It's been a long weird summer and I am looking forward to taking a break from socks and those people. However, there are still socks to be shown and it is Sunday...
Charade. Yes, again.
Yarn dyed by the lovely and talented Squishy.
Knit toe-up with CCSR toes and heels. Worked using Magic Loop with a sewn bind off. Like all y'all don't know that already. Love the yarn, the dyeing and how it knit up.
In other news, passionately hate gmail and their mothership, the Googles, right now. I miss having a working email account that doesn't annoy me. I swear, it was NEVER this bad when we were in beta. Not even that time everything went down and everyone lost their shit.
In other other news, am so loving the kids at Typepad. Shocking, right? Recently, the spammers have found this blog. Thanks to the kids at Typepad, I don't have to do much to keep the spam off the blog. A tiny percent of the crap gets through. Even then, it's super simple to remove.
Not sure where the weekend is going but I think there was laundry and a tragic lack of naps.
So sad...
Hope your Sunday is peaceful and lovely.
There is nothing wrong with having a go-to sock pattern that you know will result in great socks. Those are beautiful and they are done, which is probably the best part of all!

Love your socks!!! So pretty. We will not discuss the laundry thing here, either. I'm so sorry about the naps, but when the heck do you ever get one? BTW, it's 41 here this morning and sunny. I'll take it even though my nose is runny and eyes itchy. Hugs, girlie. Have a good Sunday!!!

Cute socks!
Hotmail seems to be having issues too. I'd sure hate to lose everything I've got on there. Disaster.
Laundry here too and I should go for a ride on the combine with DH this afternoon. They are almost done with the soybeans and I haven't been out yet.
Happy Sunday!
xoxo

I use gmail through Outlook, so it just works. If you ever want an email address at The Looney Bin, just let me know ;-)
And Dan is on his way home! And it looks like we might be moving to New Hampshire...

I'm glad that weight is off your shoulders. Enjoy the rest of the fall knitting as you like.
The kids at Typepad do I good job with spammers. Now if they could just fix the book link I'd be very happy.

I need to print out Charade and knit it. I always admire yours so much!

Having a pattern that you don't have to think about makes for mindless, peaceful, stressless knitting.

Beautiful socks!
Have a lovely day/week!

Love the socks - very summer-ish looking! Love having a default sock pattern that doesn't require a lot of attention :^)

Lovely socks, as usual.
I also experienced a weekend of laundry and without naps, which is tragic as I'm going back to work this week & will be missing the opportunity to nap occasionally. Must go knit while I still can!

Charade looks different in every yarn. Shall we run intervention for you next year when they ask if you're doing SoS again? ;)

I'm not having issues with gmail, but then I only send a few emails a day. Lovely socks, as usual!

I've had an account with Yahoo for over 20 years and never had a problem. Love the socks!

Those are really good-looking socks! It's definitely fall here; crisp, cool warm days. Love it.

Loverly socks. Anything seasonal reminds me of allergies and I try to stay away. How many times d I have to post to be considered spam? Spam, spam the magical meat.

Love the socks, love the pattern. Need to figure out that toe up thing one of these days!

Whew! I was so tired of making socks. Kidding, I didn't even make one pair...
Your socks are lovely and the yarn is so pretty and delicate. Yes, just perfect for you sassy minx.

They are pretty and perfect and that's why we knit socks. I don't know if I really love Fall so much or it is more the fact that Summer is over.
