I think these socks are seriously ugly. I think there is too much yellow in the multi-colored yarn not to mention the pooling. They are uglier in person because there is even less contrast between the two yarns. I really really really hate multicolored yarns so please slap me if I ever buy any again.









I'd normally quit knitting on a project I found ugly but I couldn't come up with anything else simple enough to work on during the ALCS. Now we have the World Series and I just know if I start a project with a complicated chart the minute I look away Manny Ramirez will start doing somersaults in the outfield or Curt Schilling will start hemorrhaging. So the rest of the week I'm going to be spinning my pretty blue Romney and then making a pair of socks with them for the last project of Socktober. After that I plan to work for a long time with size 0 dpns and my wonderful stash of Shetland wool.



Go check out Chery's gorgeous Dale of Norway sweater! It seems like she can turn out one of these babies in about a month. Also check out a new knitting blog with some delicious-sounding cake recipes and the world's cutest knit hat model.
