A weekend FO and some loves...

Even with a case of startitis, things are coming off the needles. Came as a surprise to me as well.

These are my Simple Skyp socks, which I named Sir Isaac Lime. That is my favorite flavor of Otter Pops.

The yarn is Socks that Rock light weight in Lemongrass. This was my first time using STR and I fear I want to knit many more socks with this fabulous yarn. It is wicked Squooshy!

In celebration of casting off a pair off socks, it seemed only right that another jumped on the needles. Of course the yarn is bright and stripey, it is what I have been craving lately. And I am not the only one, Claudia and I have been having fun enabling each other with new shops carrying self-striping yarn.

Sorry for the blurry pic. My camera was not liking all that color explosion. I will brag more about this yarn next week.

How about some loves? Feels like a while since I have shared some. I am sure it hasn't been that long, but it feels like it. First  salad that I can't get enough of.

Just a simple tomato, cucumber,red onion,feta and balsamic vinegar salad. I can eats buckets full and I do!

Now how about some loves from blogland..let's go!

• Oh my gosh Becky, take a look at her shawl. Jody...wow. Are you drooling right now, because I am.
• Sam's scarf has me thinking I need to make one of these.
• I have been waiting excitedly for each new posting of Robin's crazy quilt's stitches. Seriously, scroll down and you will see each fantastic one. Robin has become a dear friend, we share a love for Colorado where she lives and where I grew up. She posted an excerpt of a letter she sent to her brother about the devastation our lovely state is experiencing. It makes me cry.
• I will be casting on this lovely hat, which is modeled by the even lovelier Andrea.
• The Ishbel pattern never seems to go out of style. Everyone has knit one and some many. I on the other hand none. After seeing Cassy's (great blog name!), I feel destined to add it to my ever growing list.

There you go. Bet you fell in love at least once with all those beauties. I am off to do some knitting and preparing to cry after watching this movie tonight. Hope you are all safe, sound and happy!

Every time I see another of your finished sock projects I always want to squoosh them, probably because you always use the prettiest yarn! I definitely want to try Socks that Rock someday, perhaps once I finish off some of my exploding stash.

Love the socks! Is that a purl row right before the ribbing? It's such a nice touch.

Great salad - perfect for summertime snacking.

And of course, thanks for the blog love :)

Wonderful socks

This post is an explosion of color

Lime is my favorite Otter Pop flavor too! It was always disappointing when only purple or red were left.
And your Sir Isaac Limes are awesome.

Those socks look so cozy!!

[cauchy09]

aw, sweet socks! i love the texture.

[Heather]

Love those socks. Perfectly named as well. So much eye candy. Still trying to resist the self-striping eye candy you deal. Have a great week.

[Maryse]

This salad contains all the ingredients to be a hit for me too! I'll try it! I have a crave for feta cheese these days! Your new socks are super cute! I look forward to see how the stripey yarn will knit up! Have a great week!

[Allison]

Those socks are lovely. I can't wait to see what that other yarn knits up as.

[ruth]

Never tried STR. Will have to give it a go. Your socks came out nice and I love the look of your salad - I love feta too (well all cheese really) so I'm going to trg that salad for myself. Have a good week!

[Camilla]

Your work is lovely- swoon..those socks are delish.

[Mr. Puffy]

Otter Pops!!! Love those and I probably eat my weight each summer :)) Oooh, I'm an enabler ~ it feels a little wicked LOL Can't wait to see your stripy socks, which incidently matches your summer salad. Happy 4th ~

[Annie @ knitsofacto]

It's when I see socks like these that I understand the appeal of knitting them. The one thing I never knit is socks. Suppose I should remedy that! Yours are gorgeous. And the salad looks pretty yum too :D

[Jesse]

I love the socks! What a gorgeous color and beautiful pattern! I have to try Socks That Rock -- it's on my List :)

Otter pops are the best :) I like lime too.

[Kee]

Very cute socks! I love green and yellow together, and will have to try Socks That Rock soon. I'm looking forward to seeing the next pair of stripey socks!

[sam]

Pretty socks indeed. And I'm with you - love STR. Thanks ever so much for the link and kind words. After years on the needles, I finally finished the scarf this week. Now to tuck it away safe for the winter months!

[Kepanie]

Truly awesome socks there. You pick great colorways each time. Self-striping yarn is so fun, yeah? It will be fun to see how that one stripes up. Can't wait!
