Entry #1 for Sept Blog Contest

The yarn colors for fall are fall garden colors - and you will see one interpretation here, with the new socks Bianca made for her dh:

These are knit in Panda Cotton, in the new colorway Muir Woods - nice, hmmm?
LOL, i bet however that the pretty legs showing off the socks are those of Bianca's teen daughter, and not DH Johan!

You can see the set of new "with men in mind" colors here PandaCottonColors

Bianca is the "sockmom" designer for my yahoo group Sockathon for the month of october,
and will be featuring a new holiday stocking and holiday socks. come join the fun!

Panhandle Jane does Maizy!

I like the way the texture here shows off the Maizy colors... don't you agree that "Jane's" Maizy socks turned out really well? neat blog too at PanhandlePortals

you can see other colorways for Maizy - wonderful Corn yarn Maizy Colors

The Middle of September

Pretties to share with you:

These are gorgeous! Panda Silk Colors socks designed by Redheadskydiver...

The pattern PDF is available on her blog and uses 2 colors of the panda silk - i like how the pattern shows off the color changes, don't you?

(i used to be a redhead, but never tried sky- diving... not so sure i'd do it now. i don't even like roller-coasters!)

dk panda silk inspiration

Already we've got several really nice new free patterns for you to try with the NEW Panda Silk DK yarn. I love the hand, the look and the zippiness of this yarn. it's gorgeous, but i can finish something quickly too. I love fingering sock yarns, but it's so nice to make gift socks or baby gifts quickly sometimes too!

All of these patterns can be found listed here DK Panda Silk Patterns and you can see more colorways here colors of Panda Silk DK

bamboozle colors!

The newest Bamboozle pattern is this gorgeous cardi in CinnamonBamboozle and the free pattern is here: lace cardi

Bamboozle is one of my favorite non-wool yarns. It's made a believer out of me - the sheen and loveliness of bamboo with the wonderful easy care of cotton - so now i know that cotton can be as much fun to knit as wool!
That's because of the wee bit of elastic, adding that nice behavior to the yarn, wee bit of memory, without being hard or weirdly stretchy.
You can see the diversity of bamboozle colors at this link; and some cute patterns here too!
This page bamboozle patterns takes you to the special free patterns for each yarn you are interested in!
