Eye Candy Friday…
…the one with all the socks. ;o)
Yesterday, I decided I wanted to channel a bit of Cookie into my knitting. I had the pink yarn but needed some way to up my speed. I decided the only way I could come close to her speed was to break out the CSM. ;op I finally managed to get to cranking at about noon and by bedtime I had these all finished:
From left to right:
1. Chameleon Colorworks ‘Evolution’ yarn in the colorway Flamingo Sunrise (these are quite possible the softest socks EVER.)
2. Chewy Spaghetti ‘Spaghettoni II’ in the colorway Sultry
3. Steam Valley Fiber Hand Dyed Sock Yarn, no colorway listed. (purchased at Rhinebeck ’08)
Not bad for a day’s work. This is my favorite kind of eye candy! ;o)

Only three pair in a day?! ;^)
Well done! That’s a great way to get ready for winter. I love the first pair, but I’m sure you knew that.

I was just thinking about getting the csm out! I ‘m still in need of a 72slot cylinder though. What kind of cuff did you do? Are you interested in a cranking day?

I am so glad someone else is getting picked on the furious knitting of socks. Seriously, you have no idea. And what is with Bezzie (Random Meanderings) and her insistance that I have a cranked out bunny army knitting socks for me? ;)

I need me a CSM! I only have enough sock yarn for about 100 socks. Ack. I am not allowed to buy more sock yarn unless it is orange for more DH socks.
Yours look fab and I am jealous :-)

Gee, Jess, you’re such a slug! Only 3 pairs in a day. And I’m still on the same pair I started in August!!!!
And today I took out the only pair of socks I’ve made and kept for myself an the damn moths had eaten holes all over one of them!! I almost cried. Aarrgghhh!
What in the heck is a CSM?
Oh you lucky duck! To have that many socks done in a day!
Chriss last blog post..Rhinebeck Reflections
Nice going! I hope your didn’t hurt your arm.
Strange…my sock machine doesn’t crank out socks yet. Could it be the box? :-D
So not fair! They are all beautiful – but it’s still not fair that you crank out in an afternoon what takes me a year :) Darn you! I’ll see you Tuesday! See I said it out loud for the world to see – so there’s no backing out now. Well unless it snows or something else crazy happens :P
michelles last blog post..Sidetracked
Three pair in one day! That is awesome! I really need to get going on trying to figure mine out again. Now would be a good time too!

Beauties all, and three in one day? Gotta love that CSM.
Jennifers last blog post..It’s beginning to look a lot like Halloween
How awesome! 3 pairs of socks in one day. I love the fiber and yarn you purchased at RB too. Yummy stuff.
WOW! You’re going to be needing an electric version if you keep that up.
