Yarn is by Must Stash, colorway is Kama Sutra, with a random gray for the toes and heels.
I love these socks - the stripes are nice and narrow so you keep getting to the next one quickly, which kept my interest. And I got them finished at the same time because lately I've been casting on one sock using JMCO (Judy's magic cast on) and a long set of circular needles, getting the toe increases done, switching to my 9 inch circular needles, and then I start the second sock. I usually allow myself to knit three stripes on one sock before switching to the other sock to catch up. It's been a great way for me to end up with a pair of socks instead of a single and me fighting the urge to cast on a different color. Also it helps to have a couple pairs of 9 inch circs (OK, four. Sometimes I have two pairs of socks in progress at the same time).
Speaking of socks, I probably shouldn't show you this but what the hell. Don't judge me - this is my hobby and my love, so I have a lot of supplies...pretty, pretty supplies:
I was trying to find some yarn to use for toes/heels of my next pair of socks so I dumped out a couple yarn bins to see what I had.
I love color, I love yarn, and if I could display it on the wall of my office without it getting sun damaged or dusty I totally would. Seeing all of this makes me happy! And it was fun to get it all out and play around with color combinations - I came up with a couple options for my next pair of socks plus I think I've figured out what I'll knit with after them. And the next pair. And another pair. It's too bad I'm not a fast knitter but hey, I get to enjoy the yarn a lot longer than some knitters, so there's that, right?

Guess who is acting like himself of yore? Wait, is that a title, like a noble duke or something? It's Paco, Himself of Yore! Having that foot issue taken care of has brought back the Paco that we used to know - he's happy, playful - well, as playful as a nearly 13-year-old dog can be - he's content, he sleeps well instead of whining and moaning in his crate all night; it's like having a new dog! It's a noticeable difference and makes us really glad that we opted for the surgery.
Wrapped up on a chilly morning...
He just crashes in the evening and it's nice to not have him be asleep and then startle awake to chew on his foot - he's getting some good rest, finally.
Clear eyes, no infections - ahhh. Life is good. Well, Paco says it would be "gud if papratzi stop boddering me" - but he's so cute, I have to take his picture!

Oh, that shot of Paco laying on me? I was icing my knee when he jumped up there:
He didn't seem to mind lying right next to the ice pack, but I decided he was worth taking the ice pack off for. Also my knee was pretty frozen. But hey, I'm working at making it better!

We have a little local 5K on tap for tomorrow. Of course, right now the weather forecast is calling for thunderstorms but hopefully they will hold off until late morning. That's not too much to ask, is it?
Have a great weekend!
