Blues

I'm not complaining (well, perhaps just a little), but we've got another snow day over here in the Northeast, and I can hardly believe the size of the snowflakes rushing past my window, and it's c-o-l-d out there.  But, in here, I've got my cup of coffee, music playing, and this ....

Remember when I treated myself to this gorgeous skein of Biscotte & Cie Felix during my detour to VK Live NYC?  It's been calling to me from my stash ever since I bought it home and with these endless days of 20 degree temperatures and snow-covered streets, a pair of colorful socks is the perfect project to lift my weary spirits.

I think there's no denying that Felix is a delightful self-striping sock yarn ~ I'm just not sure I'll really be able to hide these beauties in my shoes!  The pattern I'm knitting will have me try my first-ever afterthought heel, and I'm pretty excited to give this a go.  Being a toe-up gal, I usually knit a sweet tomato or no fuss, no muss heel, but I felt like giving myself a little challenge so with this snow day, I'm going to learn something new. Yeah, that's what snow days should be for!
