Got berries?

Got berries?

Last week just flew by.... I can't believe it was just a week ago that I took a half day off from work to go to lunch in the city with girlfriends I have known since the 1st grade! We had such a fun time in the city and treated ourselves to a fancy lunch! Just look at this dessert!

Got socks?

I couldn't resist taking advantage of the photo-op with my new berry sock.

And then my trip to New Orleans for work....I'll share pictures in the next day or two. Not as much knitting done as I thought (you'd think I'd learn!), but I did finish my berry socks AND started another pair in Socks that Rock Mochaberry. I'm in love!

The pattern is just about ready to go, but it needs a name. Here's where you all come in... suggestions? likes? Help me out, leave a comment by Thursday morning, and then I'll pick a winner or two to receive a free copy of the pattern once it is done (which I'm hoping should be within the week!).

Ideas that have been floating around already..

Something berry special
Got Berries? (I'm liking this one today)
Berry berry (but I liked this one yesterday)
Berry Delicious
Blackberry Crumble
Berry berry cute
Berry berry bo berry

Bushel of Berries
Blackberry Buckle

The colorways of the yarns I'm using.."Ripe for Picking" (see below) and "Mochaberry" (see above).

Shannan said...

I like Berry Berry.

Zonda said...

Ok, drooling over your dessert :)
Well, since I love Raspberries the best, I say Raspberry Surprise, the Surprise being how each colorway knits up :)

Victoria said...

Pickin' Season.

Seriously, these socks look good enough to eat or drizzle over ice cream. So cute.

Can't wait to start Cotty for the STR KAL.

Andrea (startrouble) said...

How about Berry Fields? That is what the socks look a little like to me.

Otherwise, I like Bramble Berries.

Lisa said...

Ok, here is my suggestion....

Berry Fields Forever

Yeah, a little Beatles reference.

tricia said...

so [berry] beautiful! I'm so excited for this pattern.

For names I like Bramble Berries idea. I also like it reversed: Berry Bramble. A merry berry bramble at that!

How about Berry, Berry Smoothie?

Need a test knitter?

KatherineR said...

Berries on the Vine(?)

or maybe, Berry Vino

It's a pretty pattern!

Discoknits said...

Don't know about naming the sock this, but, I love blackberry crumble :0)

I kind of like the berry vino Katherine suggested.

Whatever you choose, the pattern is tres pretty :0)

Hmmm, I'm liking something with the word bramble. The little cables look like blackberry canes to me and the openwork - berries.

Bramble Berry or Blackberry Bramble. They are pretty. I would be happy to test knit if you need one. g

marcy said...

weezalana said...

Blackberry Wine
Berry Pickin'
Berry Summer

I had another, but can't seem to recall it. Must not have been very good! ;) (Ooo, Berry Good?)

Slueberry Bock.

My dad for some reason always spoonerizes anything dealing with berries. I grew up eating bayberry blugels and bayberry bluffins.

Whatever name you choose, they're lovely!

Wool Girl said...

Love the Berry Fields Forever too, although I must say "Got Berries" sounds pretty catch too! Gorgeous sock...and the dessert photos - this is soooo not fair! I've got to stay out of blog land for awhile - not good for the diet at all!

Hope you are well!

sockdoc said...

While I like Bramble Berry,
Here's a couple more:
Rock-a-Berry (they are rockin' socks)
Berryluscious or Berrylicious
It is a lovely pattern.

Chris said...

I like "Berry Berry".

I keep saying "Berry Berry Quit Contrary"

Nice job!

CO64 said...

Very pretty socks. How about "Sweet Tart." The dessert looks yummy!

I thought Berries on the Vine too! Another idea is Laceberry. They're lovely whatever you name them!

Yvonne said...

lovely socks, I like the vine references to the names... Good luck picking!

Knitting Kris said...

I love the Berry Bramble name!
Lovely pattern. I'll probably be purchasing this one too!
You design faster than I can knit! :)

Christine said...

When I looked at the socks, I see vines, so my suggestion is "Vines of Berries".
