now that the sockapal-2-za socks are washed and packed away to be sent, i am focused on finishing off yet another "friday harbor" for nikki-shell. we are doing a swap that she would make me an amy butler's covington bag, and in return, i would make her a pair of "friday harbor" socks! since the covington bag is all finished (so pretty!), i need to quickly finish these socks to redeem this lovely bag.
is it blue, or green? or spruce?nonetheless, i love working with mountain color's bearfoot. it is really a nice sock yarn and it knits up quite nicely. i can almost memorize this pattern now so the knitting is quite relaxing for the most part.
mountain color's bearfoot is soft and luscious, that is no doubt about that part!

Whatever colour this yarn is meant to be, I love it.Like the sweet pictures of your cats too. I wish mine would stay still long enough for me to take a photo, but every time I point the camera in his direction, he walks away!

I would have made you a bag in exchange for socks! And I do so love Amy Butler patterns. Bearfoot yarn is great and I find that it doesn't always closely resemble the picture - I think the hand dyed nature makes it variable. The one you have is really pretty and such a lovely pattern. I say - a good trade.

Oooh, yummy. I'm so glad to hear that you're liking both Friday Harbor and the Barefoot yarn, cause I have both and will, at some point, make those darn socks! :) My colorway is called something like Midnight. Pretty. But I love Evergreen, too!
