Sleepwalker socks
Sleepwalker socks in BMFA Rose Quartz
It’s always a thrill for me to finish knitting a pair of socks! I started these on July 18th, and got them done this morning. To me, these are really like a little work of art that I’ve thrown myself into - the colours, textures, composition….they are NOT just functional, stick these on your feet and walk on them staples…they truly are my objets d’arts…
The pattern “Sleepwalker Socks”, designed by Monica Nappe, was super easy to follow and knit up quickly. Not totally mindless, but certainly not difficult. The yarn, BMFA Socks that Rock in the colourway “Rose Quartz” was pure bliss to work with. I don’t necessarily pooh-pooh the cheaper less expensive commerical yarns available, and some folks would think that some of us are nuts to spend small fortunes on hand dyed yarns, but, you just have to work with this stuff to realize that, YES, there is a BIG, BIG difference.
The colour, Rose Quartz, was more in the purple-y zone -I took some photos of the socks along side some purple cone flowers, and the colour is pretty close. I had been looking for something more pinky, but in the end, I really like this colour. 
So, I got these finished just as we come to an end of our mid-summer long weekend. Next long weekend will be for Labour Day, and honestly, but not officially, summer will be over. That’s a little sad. We’ve had awful weather so far this summer - NO SUMMER - so far….We got 50/50 this long weekend….that’s better than it’s been.
It’s now time to start thinking “autumn” colours…and to decide what new sock project to start (don’t mention that I’ve got like 4-5 plain jane socks already on the needles)….
Two more weeks at work, and it will be holiday time for us, and son and his GF will be coming home for a 3 week visit.
Can’t wait…………
