Summer Days

The days of summer are marching by peacefully.  Now that the girls and I have found that summer rhythm, the days are flying by........but in a good way.  Don't you just love those lazy, hazy days of summer?  I know I do.....but then I love when fall rolls around too.

The garden is really starting to take off and my Neapolitan socks, well, they just flew off my needles.  I love, love, love these socks!  Nancy Bush's pattern is a perfect blend of lace and mindless knitting.  Easy to remember without a pattern, but working in groups of 12 rows, makes it a very quick knit.  As I mentioned before, the only modification I made was to not carry the lace down the foot.  I opted for a simple ribbed knit, which for me is the most comfortable type of sock foot.

In addition to the knitting and dyeing that has been happening here, I have to admit that the soap bug bit me bad again....(thanks Robin~).

In the past, I never worked with colors in my soap, but not being quite the purist that I was in my younger days, I am trying new things..........and thoroughly enjoying it!

Well I guess I'm a little late in trying to ask for the socks, seeing half your readers want them too :) I can see why - they turned out so well! The yarn knit perfectly for them, I like the subtle coloring of the yarn - perfect!

What beautiful socks! Are they knitted with your own sock yarn? The color is truly beautiful!

Your socks and soap look great! Are you planning on selling soap, too?

The socks are gorgeous! I also love the soaps. If I lived closer, I would ask for a tutorial. In person, of course. :-)
