warm hands

It gets a bit chilly down by the pc so I made these up for Hubby (above) yarn is leftover from my last pair of socks (below) also made with leftovers. These were mine but Bunky now has them. Yarn: BoboSocks

Look a Sock!

Pretty isn't it? I love this sock. It is the BoboSocks Yarn that I have been testing out. The 2nd sock is otn.

BoboSocks

Here is the other new base yarn I told you about. 75% superwash merino 25% nylon. I love this yarn for socks. It is still nice and soft but wears really well. I named it after Monkey Boy who is hard on his socks. This is the Punk Rock colorway. I love it. Looks so pretty re-skeined like this.

This is a new colorway. I think it will be The Eye. Fiery reds, golds and oranges. Kettle dyed.

I will be running a sale next week. More on that Monday.

As for life here at the Funhouse. Monkey Boy and I are working on writing our letters and getting ready for school. I have to wonder if things will go as smoothly for him as they did for Bunky. We will be going to Kindergarten Round Up in 2 weeks. They take the kids to the classroom and the parents are kept in the gym. I wonder how many weepers there will be this time. (I am talking about the Moms here. lol) When I took Bunky one woman sobbed loudly the whole time. Bunky did not get a spot at the focus school. We are bummed but I kind of thought this would be the outcome. With so few slots and so many students. You know kids, she has already moved on.

The new yarn is here!

I got 2 new base yarns for socks the other day. My test skeins are still drying.
Bunky Toes is 100% superwash merino 3-ply and BoboSocks is 75% superwash merino 25% nylon. Both are soft and squishy. Very excited. More on this later.
I have to take both dogs to the vet for their checkup and shots this morning. I am starting to think I was a little nuts to agree to bring them in at the same time. Toph has not taken to the lead very well. Wish me luck.
