The yarn, it speaks to me....

and the Pomatomus sock said "Ribbit".
Yep, I frogged it again.
It's really making me crazy that I can't get this pattern.
Of course, part of the problem could be that I am doing it on one long Addi and not DPN's. I could switch but I don't' have the proper size DPN's (*cough, need to buy needles, cough*) .
(I have a Boyer Needlemaster, but the cords are so tight it's hard to do socks on one long circular)

The yarn is gorgeous and I want to make something beautiful....
maybe it needs to be something else.

What does this yarn say to you?

*Not the most accurate picture--it's so yummy, like an Orange Sorbet*

This yarn is speaking to me too. This is the Pink and Brown Yarn that I dyed a few days ago.
It says "Neapolitan" socks, but what pattern?

Part of me says Jaywalkers, but maybe I need to broaden my sock horizon. It's a pretty fat yarn, so likely no lacy stuff.
I did this little swatch because I thought a heart pattern would be cute, but maybe with the different colours it doesn't have the right effect.

Can you see the heart?
What do you think?

I haven't knit a stitch all day....Nothing last night...
I need some sockspiration for Socktoberfest

Oh, and if you leave a comment this time, I promise not to delete it.

hi there
the heat stitch pattern came from my vogue knitting book.
i'm thinking it's not going to work the way i want it too--especially since the purl side would be showing on the socks.

Okay, how about the RPM pattern from Knitty? And the orange sorbet type yarn is quite yummy looking. :)
