Gray and Cold, Meet Pink and Orange

Yesterday was gorgeous and sunny and unseasonably warm.   Today started out with cold rain that later turned to big flakes of snow, alternating with more rain.  I fretted because the kid refused to wear a coat, not even a hoodie, and I'm worried that he's freezing.  My husband is more practical and tough love-ish.  He figures that at age 13, the kid should be smart enough to know when he needs a coat and should pay the consequences when he makes dumb choices.  Anyway, as an antidote to the cold, gray weather, I give you pink and orange socks.  This first pair is knit out of Sundara sock yarn and I love them.  They are girlie and feminine and I want to wear a tiara and sparkly pink lipgloss and twirl while I wear these socks.  I knit this pair of socks in just four days, which kind of makes me want to strut around, or at the very least, I feel like some sort of knitting rock star.  I think that I was spurred on to knit lightening fast on these socks because I really wanted to get to some gorgeous orange yarn.  This yarn is also Sundara sock yarn, in a colorway called "Orange over Pistachio".  It is my current favorite color of sock yarn and it has been for over a week, which is really amazing, as I'm quite fickle where sock yarn is concerned.  I'm further along in knitting the orange sock than the photo shows.  I wish you could see the depth of the color.  Either it is my camera, or more likely, my mediocre photography skills, but I can't quite capture the underlying green tints beneath the orange.  It's really spectacular yarn.  Take my word for it.

The pink socks are beautiful, and I can see why you rushed through them to get to the orange ones -- I love that color! I keep dithering about grabbing some of their yarn when it becomes available. Someday...
