Movin’ Right Along…
…at least I’m moving on some PS Earth projects. And I’ve got one straggler Fire project finished, although I won’t get much use out of it now.
project: Here and There Cables
source: Scarf Style
yarn: Malabrigo - 2 hanks
color: Brown Berries
needles: #9 needles
Of course the yummy Malabrigo is lovely on the neck, so away it goes till next winter. But on to the socks!
project: Spindle Socks
source: My Fashionable Life
yarn: Sweet Georgia Speed Demon - 1 hank
color: Omakase 10
needles: #2 needles
Spring has sprung (believe me, my itchy eyes and nose are telling me so!) What can I say, a perfect colorway for the season, PS earth, and it complimented the pattern pretty well too.
I actually screwed up the cable pattern on the first sock. If you take a look at the progress pic in the last post, all my cables go the same way, instead of switching direction every group of 3. Of course I didn’t even realize until I started the second one and actually read the directions! Oh well, a little design element anyone? 
And we’re on a roll, for now we move into the brown part of PS Earth:
project: 3×1 ribs
source: no pattern
yarn: Socks that Rock Mediumweight - 1 hank
color: Terra Firma
needles: #2 needles
Yes, I whipped these babies up too, thanks to the Mediumweight STR. My very first time knitting it up, and what a yarn! Love it.
Just a simple 3×1 rib pattern. I had wanted to knit Cookie’s BFF socks, but got terrible pooling down one side, so after just a couple of inches, RIP!
I definitely plan on getting some other kinds of projects knitted up soon. But I don’t know, what is it about warm weather and socks that just feels so right?

Gorgeous socks! (Actually gorgeous scarf as well. This has been on my list of must knits for, umm, a couple of years now)
As soon as I finish my knitting obligations, I’m going to get back to the sock brigade!

I love how you post several FOs at once! The scarf looks AWESOME — the colorway is really pretty. The socks are great, and I particularly like the STR colorway!

Wow! You are knitting up a storm. Everything is sublime. I really love the cable pattern on the scarf and how well it works with the yarn.

Wow-the scarf is heavenly. What a rich colorway!
I’ve been eying those spindle socks on ravelry for awhile-you really did choose the perfect yarn/color for them.

I love your cable scarf! This is one of my “will someday knit” patterns from Scarf Style. That yarn looks so yum.

Beautiful knits! You do such nice work.
I used that terra firma and after the 1st washing, the color faded so much. I was bummed. I love it that deep color.

What a great selection of knits.

I”m totally impressed with your ability to turn out those FOs! I love that scarf–I’ve admired that pattern for a while now. And those socks look so happy and springy in the green. It’s been so hot here recently, sock knitting has, indeed, felt like the thing to do.

SO many great FOs all at once! I love the smooshiness of the scarf, and both pairs of socks are lovely!

Love, love, love that brown Socks that Rock- those sock do rock, and I am now wanting yet another hank or two of sock yarn… I really should stop looking at other people’s pics…
Happy knitting-
