Thanks so much! Yes the yarn has just enough variety in the color saturation to be interesting without being overpowering. And taking my knits out for pretty photos was a favorite hobby while we lived in Italy 🇮🇹 ☺️

My shell cottage socks for #showmeyourknits #socktober - made before I knew better. Realized this day my knees are too old to ski. The people beside me: “what is she doing? Is that…is that a SOCK? Ohmygod look - she’s making a HEEL - an actual HEEL!” 😂🧦🧶 Deets in alt text.
The little toe-beans though 🥹
Pretty!! 😍
It’s a free pattern on Ravelry. A multiple of 9 (if I remember correctly?) stitches and just 1 row repeated. Mix up your pretty yarns in stripes and Bob’s your uncle.
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
😂😂😂
Do! It’s so easy (1 row pattern) and varying the width of the stripes gives you these changing undulating waves - it’s a lot of 💥 for the buck.
It is! It makes everything look good.

There was an episode of Will & Grace a thousand years ago in which Grace’s mom sings “told you so” with a little dance. A thousand years later we still do this all the time in my house.
