Birthday Socks Turn Christmas Socks

Every year(and by this I mean for the past two years) I go to New York City with my family during the first week of August because it is the only week that everyone in my nuclear family has off, so my mom, my dad, my brother and I head up to some family trip and lately it has been to NYC. You will remember from my post about the ravellenic games that I was going up to New York for a little bit. If you read carefully you will remember how awful the train ride was, but we went to my favorite yarn store, Knitty City and I got a lot of yarn. Now I won't go into the specifics of most of what I got, but I will talk about this particular skein of yarn.

I got myself one of the most beautiful skeins of Dream in Colour Smooshy with Cashmere ever. It is this deep variegated greens I have ever seen. Every year(and I repeat, in the past two years), I get myself a little extra birthday treat of sock yarn. I call them my "Birthday Sox", pun intended. Last year I got this saturated blue-teals with streaks of black throughout it, and they are again with smooshy with cashmere. I always love wearing them. They are like a treat. 

So usually my socks take a super long time, especially my birthday sox, mainly because the smooshy is a little thicker and not as very easy to knit with. Regardless, it makes a gorgeous and soft sock. Last year's pair socks weren't finished until February of 2012, but this time I finished them on Christmas Day, so now they are Christmas sox.

They could be considered a little festive, but they fit super nicely.

Eventually I will tell all of you about my Christmas knitting, but I have to get pics, so it might be a little bit, I hope this will satiate your deep hunger for the details of my knitting life.

Stay fierce and fabulous
