Amy's Yarn Finds It's Special Purpose!

I thought this chevrony pattern would suit the Rowan Tapestry that I won from a contest on Amy's blog. What do you think? Sunsets, fall leaves . . . hmmmm. . . do I detect a theme?

Foliage all done! I think I knitted it on needles that might have been to big. They were the only circs with a small enough cord I could find. So it's sort of short and squat but still wearable as evidenced by Sophie . . .
And here are my nicely blocked socks. The reason I blocked them was to see if they would make a better picture that way. I'm not sure. Blocking is great for some things, like lace and sweaters, but when you put on a pair of socks, they kind of conform to your feet, blocked or not. Maybe I'll just try to perfect the "socks on feet" pictures in the future.

Foliage is beautiful.

I do love that Tapestry. The stripes are so subtle and pretty. Thanks for the link.

I like that phrase, "perfecting the socks on feet" image. :-)

The yarn and the products are wonderful...

Amy,

Just so you know, a two-four is a case of beer. We call it a "2-4" because (of course) there are 24 beers in a case. In the vernacular, "I've got to go pick up a 2-4 before the Beer Store closes"...

Cheers,
