A Drama Queen and a Diva

The holiday was too short. Middle of the week holidays make for a shorter work week but I always dread the day after. After "womanning" the grills for hours, the family began to arrive. It was a wonderful day full of food, fun and laughter.

These are some of the "happiest" socks I have made. I love the colors. The yarn felt rough while knitting and even after soaking in woolwash they aren't as soft as other sock yarns I've used.

Sunday I cast on a pair of Regia Cotton Color socks using the "2 socks on 2 circs" method. I didn't find it that appealing the first 2 times I tried it. Things are moving along much faster this time around and it's great for the two 50 gm balls that I'm using. I still need to cast on 1 single sock from a 100 gm ball of Regia Plus Cotton Jacquard Color and the sock re-stocking will be complete.
