No I'm not referring to the yummy cupcakes. I'm talking about Miss Babs Yummy Sport yarn from Woolgirl! Wow oh wow! I forgot how much I loved this yarn! I cast these on late Thursday night and just wanted to start the pattern. Well, I couldn't put them down! I can't believe how fast these knit up! Woolgirl is doing a Miss Babs contest for Summer of Socks, so if you have some in your stash, this would be the perfect time to knit them up!
Summer of Socks pair #2
Pattern: Rainy Day Socks
Yarn: Miss Babs Yummy Sport, color Coventry Green
Needles: US 3
Started: July 3
Finished: July 5
Comments: I knit 10 pattern repeats for the cuff instead of 12. I wasn't sure if I would have enough yarn leftover, but I had plenty (0.8 ounces).
This package arrived this week too! I splurged and got the new Namaste Newport bag in the Peacock color (love this color!!). In true Woolgirl style, lots of goodies! That box is filled with 20 Eucalan samples!
Oh, and because I'm in love with this Yummy yarn (and it bumped me up to the free shipping), I added this to the order. Colorway New York!
No more distractions (I hope!). Back to February Rocks!
Happy Knitting!

Mmm I love Miss Babs. I have some in my stash that I need to knit up someday. Your socks look great! And the sweater is looking good!
OK- That sealed it. I ordered a Newport bag from Scout in Charcoal. I was feeling a little guilty about spending the money. NEVERMIND!!! It's perfect!
The February sweater is looking great. But you better hurry! With no job and no test... I'm catching up to you! HAHA!
