Knitting time is limited, but I like to keep something on the needles for when I have a spare moment.
This is more Wollmiese, the other stripe yarn left over from Paisley cardigan. It’s a dark magenta that reminds me a lot of pickled beets. I don’t actually like pickled beets, but they were a staple in my house growing up – and they are a pretty colour.
The pattern is my Mr. Dress-up pattern. Like other sock patterns I’ve been choosing lately, it’s a pattern that’s not so complicated I can’t memorize it and work on it in small amounts; but also busy enough to keep it interesting. I don’t think these will fly off the needles like Woodland Walk did – but it’s hard to say. It all depends on how quickly things move along at the new house.

They are going to be beautiful.
Pickled beets were an everyday thing at our house too.

That is a really beautiful pattern. I love beets and eat them all the time but I pass on the pickled ones.

Such a pretty color: it’s how the stitch pattern well. I like pickled beets on a salad.

That is such a beautiful color! The socks will be wonderful. I grew up eating picked beets with mashed potatoes. As kids, my brother and I had fun with beet juice coloring the potatoes. I imagine you will be doing a lot of juggling the next few weeks. Good luck!

Where my DH grew up pickled beets included hard-boiled eggs! I like your yarn color, and the pattern looks like fun; that chart on the Woodland Walk socks threw me off for awhile, but I finally figured it our. Those socks sure aren’t flying off my needles though.

Love that pattern and yarn color. I also like beets but NOT the pickled ones. 🙂
We finally have all of our stuff here. Now to unpack. I finally had the house in some semblance of order before I went back to Spokane and the POD arrived as well as a fully packed pick-up, inside and out.
Wishing you a lovely day and take time for breaks. Very, very important.
Blessings,
Betsy
