With the Felici socks off the needles, I needed to get a new pair on. The last Men’s pair I needed to make for Christmas. I let Burton go stash diving and he came up with the ball of Lion Brand Sock Ease in some nice fall-like colours.

The ball band says the colour is “English Toffee” but it doesn’t look like any English Toffee I’ve ever seen.

Burton says it doesn’t taste like English Toffee either. Personally, I think I would have called it “70s Sofa”.

Regardless of what it’s called, the weather has been just perfect for porch knitting in the evenings after work.

And it’s even better with a friend!
You had me laughing out loud with your musings on this yarn name 🙂
Happy knitting !

Burton has wonderful taste and I think 70’s Sofa would have been a better name too. My sister-in-law bought orange and cream FUR chairs and sofa back in the 70’s. I have to admit, they were comfortable but FUR?

Oh yes, we had an orange, brown, and green floral sofa bed in the70s. It matched nothing else in the living room, but it was comfy.

Yep. We had that sofa and the Harvest Gold appliances to go with it. The 70’s were eternal fall.
