Ahhhhh.....Happy Hands!

Size 1.5 Addis and the most cushy yarn in a long time. May I just say that this Discarded Roses is so pretty, it sets me to dreaming - it's just like fading tea roses in a beautiful rose garden. In fact, there's a house up the road from me that has one of these bushes right by the road. When it's in bloom, and even as it fades, it makes me want a rose garden of mine own. And reminds me of the tea rose my mother had in her garden in my childhood home.

Ahhhh....indeed!

What pretty, pretty yarn! Glad that you have found your 'sweet spot' in knitting socks. I am especially about the process being painless.

That was one of my favorites from the Art Walk yarns - I want it around my neck (or a friend's) and I think it's going to be something gently zig-zaggy.

This color can only be called "genteel". I think they are going to be favorite socks.

Namaste

I honor the place in you,

which is of love, truth, light, and peace.

When you are centered in that place in you,

and I am centered in that place in me,

we are one.
