Final Project Spectrum May pictures

Yes, yes, I know everyone wants to see pictures of luridly purple yarn. Hopefully tomorrow. Right now the yarn is eluding my best efforts to capture the color. Grrrrrr…

So, in order to placate Marina, I finished my Chaotic Black Lagoon socks last night.

Yarn: Sundara Black Lagoon
Pattern: Judy Gibson’s generic toe-up pattern modified for two circulars, with this cast-on and Maeve’s Cherry Blossom Lace pattern
Needles: Addi Turbo 0s
Duration: 28 days

And on to the last few PS May images… A treasured green card from my grad school friend Deb:

One of the best wine labels ever (and the wine’s not bad, either!) – does that face remind you of anyone?! 🙂

For Chaos size reference, the wine bottle is 12 inches tall…

“Wait a minute, what the heck is a gooseberry bush?! Can’t I just use my litterbox?!”

  1. Clever wine lable. I can just imagine Chaos with that look on his face after getting into your things because you’ve been gone too long.

    I love the stitch pattern!

    Now crank the AC up, or should that be down? and knit a nice cardi or sweater 😉

  2. Hee hee! What a great wine label! Chaos is looking indignant over the very suggestion of a gooseberry litterbox.

    The socks look great! I love the stitch pattern, and the color is beautiful.

  3. Wonderful socks! It really looks like a fancy pattern up the sides!

    What a funny wine label and interesting yard stick for your mini Godzilla cat (Chaos! Destruction! get it?) ;o)

  4. Being that I like wine – but know very little about it, I always buy wine by the label! I’ve certainly not seen that one – it’s a keeper!

  5. I love the socks ( I have been successful in resisting that yarn so far…), and the wine lable is a riot! I’m going to have to look for it around here.

  6. I love those socks. The color is gorgeous and the pattern is great. I’m curious to see what your Amazing Lace project will be? Something in black perhaps?

  7. Hehe – that’s a great name for some wine!

    I love the socks – mine are a very similar colour but I have only managed to finish one.

  8. Hopefully that’s yellow…. er, white wine?

    Chaos contrasts very nicely with the bottle, very decorative, he should stand/sit there all the time. Think how much damage you’d prevent over the long haul!

  9. Now take those gorgeous socks off before your feet overheat! I hope Chaos is hanging in and finding cool spots to lie down :o)

  10. Gorgeous color on those socks! Hmmm, are you sure Chaos is a domestic shorthair house cat? Looks more like a nearly full-grown panther in comparison to that wine bottle.

  11. Nice little bottle of winette! And the name is purrfect, too.
    I’m especially intrigued by the texture of those socks. You pghotography really captured it well!

  12. Fabulous, gorgeous socks!!! Wow. And I’ll have to look out for that wine…Chaos’ expression is priceless! (You’re pretty good at the cat photography, yourself!)
    (((hugs)))

  13. Love the socks! And who knew that Chaos could strike such a menacing pose? Annabelle just ran away from the computer and collapsed on the couch!

  14. Just discovered your blog and LOVE it! Great socks and all I can say is O-M-G! Chaos is HUGE!! Great looking cat and great looking socks….my kind of place!

  15. Just getting caught up on recent postings, and I luv those socks! Thanks for the pointer to Maeve’s pattern. I’ll have to add that to the list to-do! I see Chaos has a new catnip toy too. Your dying results look great!

  16. Oh! I LOVE your emerald green socks (sorry, I am playing catchup…you’re too quick for me, what with all the great visuals, superb projects, and let’s not forget Chaos!). Just lovely.
