The search is *somewhat* over!

So I found a pattern... But I would make them uber shorty socks so that they would look cute with a skirt or something... in Falcon's Eye. And if I have enough I will be making a matching pair of Fetchings to go with.

I cant figure out the colourways for the RPMs but its the blueish-purple-y colourway from Blue Moon. I need to find a 4 or 5 DPN pattern for it, instead of two circs.

Im knitting up some other kid scarves and stuff, maybe stuff to throw up on ebay so I have some cast or something... I dont know yet. Its using up some scrap yarn leftover from Moms Aubergine scarf and some scarves that her mom made awhile back. I need to seriously downsize on the amount of scrap yarn I have laying around.

Sock addiction

So since I am almost done with the second sock (no not really, but Im about to turn the heel....) I want to pick a new sock pattern to use up some of my Socks That Rock yarn I have stashed around. I have 3 skeins of it, two Multicoloreds that I have NO clue what the colorway name is (Note to self: Contact Tina and ask if I supply pictures if she could possibly make more or at least tell me what the colourway is?) and one skein of a shaded solid. So I have been through hundreds of sock patterns but I cant find anyone that fits my requirements...

-Uses only 1 skein of STR (dont ask me what weight, I dont know... )
-top down
-4 dpns used, preferably in a 1 or 2 or 0 size.

Until then, I guess my bus knitting may consist of a pair of Fetchings.
