Will I make this pattern a fourth time? Undoubtedly! It&#8217;s beautiful &#8211; and I think it would knit up nicely in a happy yellow. I&#8217;m glad I went slightly nuts at Christmas time because I have about five more colors to choose from (chinese red, lily\/yellow, wasabi\/green, sky blue, and orchid) for future socks.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am working on the second Spey Valley sock while I try to decide what pattern I want to knit next. I could just pull a pattern from the tin and knit that but I don&#8217;t wanna. I think it will probably come down to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cookiea.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=11\" target=\"_blank\">Mingus<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rustlingleafpress.com\/rustlingpatterns.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Rivendell<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If I pick Rivendell it will be in the Araucania Ranco Multi, and if I pick Mingus it will be in Dream in Color Smooshy.

I think I&#8217;m on the heel of the Tofutsies socks.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, to reward myself for suffering through stupid Atkins, I got myself this bag at Target:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Atkins Bag by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/2506531153\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3056\/2506531153_a982bcbef1.jpg\" alt=\"Atkins Bag\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is pretty silly, but I still love it anyway.
