Happy 4th of July!
We’re still settling into our new place, so I haven’t gotten oodles of knitting/crocheting in… but I’ll share what I’m up to!
Color Affection
I’ve been making significant progress on my Color Affection, but unfortunately, it looks pretty much exactly the same as the last time you saw it. I’ll pop in a repeat-photo as a reminder:
I’m on the section with stripes in 3 different colors… the section is growing, but rather slowly! The rows are getting pretty long… although rumor has it that finishing the border section is the worst!
Rainbow Socks
Wanna see my super-pretty and mindless project?
It’s rainbow socks!
You see, I got 2 skeins of Felici yarn from Knit Picks… and the self-striping yarn works magic! Here it is in its lovely ball-form:
And here’s how they’re working up:
Since taking this photo, I’ve finished the first sock, and started on the second. It’s so entertaining, because the color changes every few rounds. Love it!
New Crochet Project…
Wanna hear about my new hairpin lace project? You’ll have to tune into my podcast… new episode is up today at 3pm EST! (I know, shameless plug!)
That’s what I’ve been up to this week… how about you? I hope you have an awesome Wednesday, and get some great knitting/crocheting done this week!

The rainbow socks are neat!
I love the colors on the rainbow socks, so bright and fun!
Cute red, white and blue creature! Love the socks, someone else has made similar ones and I love them!
Hi Stacy! Will the self striping sock yarn work with amigurumi? I love the stripes, but not all of the color changes and ends to weave in.
Thanks!
Judy
Hey Judy-
For sure! Using a color-changing yarn for amigurumi is an awesome way to get stripes :)
I’ve never ordered from KnitPicks before, but I might have to because that sock yarn is AWESOME!
Love the socks. Love that yarn. I’ll look forward to your next month’s crochet chat. I was late getting started as it was because I went to (ta da) , a yarn sale.
Thank you Stacy! I have been eyeing the self striping yarn, there are so many beautiful color combinations and some striped creatures will be fun to create!
Ok, I love everything you’re making. Especially the Color Affection! The colors you chose are just awesome!
