finally!!
a month later, the Socks that Rock socks are done! 
I can't believe that it took me a month to finish these! They're made just for me - I have a wide foot and a narrow heel. The sock on the right has been washed, and the one on the left is right off of the needles. It's amazing how much these soften up after a wash; this yarn feels very stiff until then. This is Socks that Rock medium weight, Garnet Dreams, knit on size 1 Inox needles.
One of the reasons I've been slacking in the sock knitting department - I bought a 2000 yard cone of superwash 80/20 wool/nylon sock yarn from Boogie. I wound off about 500 yards, and played with my dyes. I finished a short row toe - I love how it's starting out!
I sprinkled black dye powder on the wet yarn, squooshed it in a little bit, dunked the whole skein in gun metal blue, and then dropped small sections into the pot for a stronger dye in those spots. This is knit on my new size 0 5" Brittanys. This stuff is SOFT!

those socks look awesome!! i really love the colours. it looks like the blue ones will be really nice too.
My dog has been loving the AC too. The socks look fantastic and the colors of the cone are fabulous. I think you're so creative with the soap making and all the other things you do.
You've had the same bizzare comment from 'nit one perl two' as me!
I daren't let the girls see Gracie on the sofa - it'd give them ideas.....
