Another pair of socks finished! I started these socks while we were on vacation this summer. Made from the same Claudia Handpaint, I had better luck with completing full socks this time around. I love the mindlessness this pattern offers....so easy to knit in the car or when visiting with friends...around and around and around.
Normally I am not a fan of yarn that pools, but this particular yarn when it pooled made me think of Cherry Tootsie Roll pops, which were one of my favorite treats when I was a kid. That yummy cherry flavor mixed with the chewy chocolate....Mmmmmm!
Do you remember this commercial when you were a kid? I do...I was 11 years old and loving every bit of that tootsie roll pop. :-)
I may have to go pick up one for old time's sake...LOL
Awww - a-one, a-two. t-h-rrrrrrr-ee! So happy. About 16 years ago I discovered their candy cane flavored tootsie pops sold at Christmas time. Mmmmmm. It's my new favorite. Have you ever tried it?
Love the socks. Very pretty.

Cherry was my favorite flavor, too! I love how entertaining the yarn is when you knit plain socks...pretty, too!
