(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/popsicle\" target=\"_blank\">rav link<\/a>) I got some really fantastic green yarn from the Loopy Ewe and think it will do nicely with that pattern. I also want to get started on a pair of socks for my sister Abby, which are part of a trade &#8211; I once mentioned that it would be nice to have a quilt in &#8220;all the colors of the ocean!&#8221; which then prompted her to, um, start making me one, so I said I would knit her five pairs of socks in return. Now she is almost done with the quilt and I have made her one pair of socks.<\/p>\n<p>Since she&#8217;s allergic to latex and can&#8217;t use elastic, she pretty much only wears handmade socks.  My mom has been chugging out the socks like a machine, but I am a little more willy nilly about the whole thing. Abby wants some leaves socks, and I will be tired of the Embossed Leaves pattern when I&#8217;m done with Malvina&#8217;s safety cone orange socks, but I was thinking the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitty.com\/ISSUEfall08\/PATTinterlockingleaves.html\">new leaf pattern in the new Knitty<\/a> would be nice.  I have some Shibui in the wasabi color that might be cool.  I also have thirty other greens that would be cool too. heh. And I still need to use some of the Dream in Color Smooshy I bought! (And 75 other skeins of yarn but whatever).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Pendants by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/2877858886\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3032\/2877858886_d9474e15d1.jpg\" alt=\"Pendants\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It also occurs to me that I could make some jewelry with the above pendants, but man, I am not feeling the jewelry mojo.
