Wow, Shelagh! Thanks for sharing, I was JUST 'there' YESTERDAY, and this was NOT there! Noreen

I actually knitted some beaded socks this spring. Unfortunately, they are too small for me. :-(

Katherine

You Temptress!!!! I have used some of this sock yarn-it is great. Haven't seen these colors in the store though, will have to add some to my stash. Marie and the cats

Hey Shelagh,

Are you secretly working for VISA?? teehee

Nadia, backing slooooooowly away from the sock yarn!

I couldn't help it - I ordered 2 balls each of Fireworks and Fiesta. I also wanted Tropical Lagoon, but there was only 1 ball left (whine). I still have enough sock yarn in my stash for at least 8 more pairs. I really needed more! (snicker)

Shelagh

Naaaaah..... how about Mastercard??? heheheheh. I did order some yarn. Couldn't help myself.

Shelagh

You should make that ONLY 8 more pairs. After all Christmas is coming and socks make wonderful gifts. One can never be too rich, too thin, or have to much yarn. DA

I'm not a sock knitter (due to the fact that I cannot use double-pointed needles), but I *love* that last sentence you said. It definitely fits for everyone! ;o)

Peace! Gemini

Yes...but, but - those 8 more pairs (soon to be 10) are for ME!!!! I've already done 2 pairs as Christmas gifts for people I whom I know want them. And my grandkids love getting crazy sox out of my sock yarn leftovers.

Shelagh

Awwwwwwwww, sorry to hear that. I'm just finishing a beaded pair for myself ;>)

Shelagh

Wow - I just went to Elann's site to see if anything else was new, and that sock yarn must be just flying out the door! I'm sure half of it is gone already! I'm glad I ordered when I did. ;>) Shelagh

Sock yarn also makes beautiful gloves. :) DA

Oh Shee-lagh (calling), they have 14 balls of the Tropica there now..........

Eimear, just trying to be helpful, having bought her own Apple Harvest! :-))

AND shawls, I humbly add :D Noreen

I always knew I should have had my feet bound!

Katherine

I know you were joking but....... Euwww! Yuck! Even thinking about it gives me the collywobbles. I've seen some of those embroidered shoes and while the needlework is stunningly beautiful I can't look at them any more because they make me so squeamish.

Eimear

Heh, heh - thanks a bunch - I heeeaaar youuuuuuu; but the Tropica is not the same as the Tropical Lagoon.... both were fab, and I wanted both of them, but held off and stuck with the Fiesta and Fireworks. I was considering the Apple Harvest too. (smirk). I can't believe how fast some of that yarn went out the door!!
