Sneak Peeks
A More Significant Swatch
A lovely evening with wine well matched to dinner courses leaves me a bit tipsy and not so good at the writing (who would ever think that a vegetarian restaurant could be so luscious and upscale? If you come to Chicago and enjoy your vegetables, Green Zebra is a must. Definitely try their tasting menu). But I thought I would show you an idea that I think is progressing well.
Looks like dragonflies!! That's really cool. And I love the pretty colors. :)
Oh they do look like dragonflies! So gorgeous. I adore that yarn.
I heart those socks. Butterflies or dragonflies...very very cute. And the yarn is pretty too!
Doh! I was swatching a similar idea yesterday!

Shoot. I was going to write it up as a free pattern for Socktoberfest. What to do?
Is this a case of great minds think a like?
Wow - that looks wonderful. As in filled with wonder - and dragonflies ;)
As I recall the Green Zebra has a lovely glow after dark, although that might be from all the cocktails I drank at girls' night out. Great food, great bar, great service. Another place you recommended, scwha, won't give us a table until November!
That's a very lovely significant swatch you have there. Very dragonfly, as the others have said.
I really love that swatch. I've seen similar patterns before and thought it would look cool on socks but i was worried that the "wings" would get caught on stuff. Any thoughts?
lovely!
Oooh, lovely. Lovely pattern, lovely yarn.
Wow, that is /awesome/!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Does no one but me see a collection of cat's wiskers?
wonderful pattern! The picot top is perfect with it.
I like it! Works well with that yarn too.
I love the way that pattern looks!
Definitely Dragonflies. Looks like some kind of hand-painted merino sock yarn to me (doh -- Mistress of Pointing Out the Obvious, that's me). Lovely, though, absolutely lovely.
