Knitting Pink
I arrived home on Wednesday to find some pink yarn in my mailbox.
The yarn was from MJ for me to test knit the socks she's designing. Yep, she's come to take away my niche and has started designing socks too. ;)
See, pink ribbing! Oh, come on, you didn't really think I was going to show you anything secret did you? The California Socks in progress snuck into the picture too. They're actually getting a bit of attention after every few rows of the pink socks to give my hands and brain a bit of a rest.
Then because I can never have enough sock WIPs... I cast on for the Sockamania Simply Cables socks in Socks That Rock Lightweight in Blue Brick Wall. I've had this yarn sitting on my shelf for a while now because I wasn't totally convinced that I loved it. But then... I wound it into a ball:
Look at that blue beauty!
I also have a goal to spin more this month - I'm trying for at least 8 hours of spinning in March. So far I have 0 hours done and all these socks probably won't help...

All the socks are so gorgeous!
I am not a big fan of pink but I love that pink yarn the blue is great can't wait to see the finished socks
you know my feeling on socks. Soon, soon...
I should make a spinning goal, too. I miss it!
Just seeing pink socks on your blog is a surprise. If I hadn't also seen the blue yarn, I would have been concerned.
Great spinning goal! I want to use your idea on that myself!
Very pretty blue too!
LOL! What Batty said. I think I actually did a double take to make sure I was on your blog. ;)
I recently procured a skein of Blue Brick Wall! Can't wait to see how you knit it up!
I'm not saying "join us. . . " in an evil voice, but we do have that "Spin Every Week in March!" challenge on the knittyboard. Just sayin'.
