So I knit these great socks, and I was all set for Rhinebeck. Mitts, scarf, hat, socks, everything involves some nice flaming orange<\/i>, all nice and matchy-match. Then the temperatures dropped, a lot, and I ended up wearing my nice thick Socks that Rock all weekend since they were warmer than my nice orange socks, even if I have yet to knit socks from STR with any orange in them. (Tan, yes, but that isn’t quite the same.)<\/p>\n

AUTUMN SOCKS<\/B>
\n\"Autumn<\/a>
\nPattern<\/b>: Plain stockinette sock, 62 stitches
\nYarn<\/b>: Done Roving 1-Ply Sock Yarn in Cherry Pitts.
\nNeedles<\/b>: US1\/2.25 mm
\nNotes<\/b>: Oh. This color. You can see why I just did stockinette here, right? Anything else would have taken away from this spectacular dyeing job. I am in love with this colorway. Look at it:
\n\"Autumn<\/a>
\nGlorious. It jumped off the rack a year ago at Rhinebeck and refused to let me put it back, and every time I looked at the skein and now the socks I grin, because it just evokes the smell and sound and crunch of a pile of leaves for me. These socks make me very happy.<\/p>\n

I looked for Done Roving at Rhinebeck, because when I put these babies on they were nice and cushy and wonderful to wear, and I am always on the lookout for cushy socks. But I didn’t see them anywhere, and so there’s no new Done Roving in the stash this year. I still have a pretty decent chunk of yarn left from this skein, though… perhaps a cowl, to round out my obsession with autumnal oranges and browns…<\/p>\n
