Hello Dolly!
That's the name of this yarn's color way. These socks are knit in Knit Picks Stroll Hand Dyed. They turned out great and fit like... Uhhhh!? A glove? No, they fit like socks made just for me by me!
Yep, Etsy has slowed down just enough for me to indulge in a little knitting. Yippee!
I used 2.75 mm needles and cast on 56 stitches. I followed a pattern by Red Heart called "Self-striping Knit Socks". I love this pattern; it's the first pattern I used when I learned to make socks.
I actually got out of bed in time to graft the toe closed on sock #2 so I could wear these today. I wore a raspberry colored cardigan and black slacks and my Alegria shoes so my socks would peek out. I have my own unique fashion sense I suppose. If any one comments about my socks, I say... "I have happy feet!" And then I rip off my shoe so they can see the whole sock. Yep. I am weird like that!
