![Saw The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare which is based on a true story. It was excellent!
There was action, humor, and solid character development. Also, I love a good tale about a band of misfits making a great team!
The cast was the largest gathering of symmetrical faces I’ve seen in a hot minute. Wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.
I hope you have the Sunday you need, Crew! I love you!!!

I forced this yarn to stripe/bend to my will and I’m terribly pleased with these socks. But, they no longer make me think of Muppets and Rainbow Connections. Now, they make me think of lessons learned, how happy I am that the person they’re going to LOVES them, and the one time in my life people compared me to a saint.
Pattern: Vanessa antiopa Socks by Hunter Hammersen
Size: Medium
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Solemate
When I hand washed/blocked these socks, they sank like rocks in water. I was surprised by this as my wool socks float. It seems that this yarn (55% superwash merino, 15% nylon, 30% viscose (rayon) fiber that interacts with your body’s microclimate to moderate temperature from being too hot or too cold) does not seem to have the water repelling properties of wool.
Colorway: Rainbow
Mods: The toes should have been all purled, but the giftee and I agreed that we prefer ribbed toes, so the toes match the cuff ribbing.
Needles: 2.5mm for the leg, 2.25mm for the foot

Your socks look great!
Thank you so much. I can’t wait to see what the giftee thinks of them.
What cool socks! Love how the stripes twist, just wonderful… Must add to queue!
The pattern is lovely and fairly easy. The stripes were another story.
I’m applauding. Very, very nice work. (And I love the pic with the flower.)
Thanks, lady!
Wow….their lovely. Love the first pic…it really shows off the colors.
Thank you so much. I was thrilled to have a blooming flower anywhere in site this time of year.
Yay! You got the striping to continue. Cute socks.
Yes, thank you! I was thrilled to finally get the striping to play nice.
Very cool socks
Thank you!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Every time I visit your blog I find something new I want to knit.
Thank you! That road runs both ways! I am often adding projects I see on your blog to my queue.
You have such a fab way of putting a positive spin on things.
However, I see NOTHING wrong with muppets and rainbows.
And those socks are awesome.
glass half full, baby……..or it was until I washed them…that story is coming soon.
