[...] However, I’ve jumped into the new challenge with both feet. Since it started, I already finished one sock, and am working on granny squares to make a pillow as well. Hopefully this makes up for the last [...]

Ok…I’m just finishing my first 3 toes ups and am obsessing about the heels. Can you tell us again (so I don’t have to search…unless your engine is real good and probably with computer son, it is!) which toe up pattern you used on the striped sock?

I love the new sock. I’m so glad you mentioned those patterns. I bought the dragon hat from you, ages ago, but never thought of using your new range to knit one. Great idea, thank you!

We’ve had a major internet server melt down in my area code over the past two weeks, which forced me to work offline…remember life before the internet? Blackberry, mauve and malachite look like a mighty fine combination to me.

Love your sock! I vote for an identical 2nd sock because *you can* make it identical. Very classy.

I was hoping that you would show some yellow combos. “Kathy” (way up on top) of these comments has some good suggestions. Sheri, about that granny square blanket (crocheted), I was experimenting and found that if you hold two yarns together it will make a VERY beautiful granny square or hexagon (which ever you prefer).

Next time I see you, ask me the crayon story. It’s one of my mom’s favorites. LOVE crayons/colored pencils/coloring. My moniker is, after all, CMYKnitting. LOL

I’m just waiting for color cards for this so that I can play with it. I like all your color choices, by the way. Pink and brown always reminds me of ice cream for some reason, and you can’t go wrong with red and blue together. How about testing one out with yellow in it?

Please continue to show us other combinations using the Loopy solid yarn. I love to see how others put color together. Maybe it could become the weekly color combination and ask for submissions!

I like your sock…and I’m for matching, so I think the other one should be the same.

Question…did you cut yarn in between stripes and then weave in ALL those ends…or did you just carry it up on the inside. Cause weaving in ends is my LEAST favorite part of color work!

Love your striped sock! I’m on this weird Harry Potter obsession right now, so I say mix up the second sock in honor of Dobby.
