Here’s a skein of Noro Kureyon Sock Wool that once it was wound into two balls I couldn’t find the color repeat that would allow each sock to look identical in color wave. The did the only thing I could think of, I knit the entire two balls into long swatches so that I could identify where to begin each sock. Since I knit 2-at-a-time socks it looks pretty good as far as the ribbing goes. I’ll post a pic of my progress tomorrow.

Tea Cozy beginning
![]()
This is the first side of the Tuileries Tea cozy
as you can see it's on a circular needle and I did not cast on both sides so that I could knit 2-at-a-time. Next time I'll give it a little thought first.
The Sugar 'n Creme cotton does not have the stretch that wool has and is harder to work with, but I think I'll like it when I can throw it in the washer and have it come out of the dryer as nice as all those knit dish clothes.

Second Pair in Twenty-four days
I just finished the Sage Green Sunshine by Cookie A. last night. We photographed them this morning and here they are.
Began knitting at the first of the month and then dropped them because I couldn't see the pattern. So picked up the Periwinkle and began knitting the same pattern. By the time I got to the same point as the first pair I could see the pattern the same of both pair.
Really happy that I didn't frog the Sage Green.
Anyway once I finished the Periwinkle I picked up the green and continued on - now I have two more pair of hand knit sox.
Three new pair since the beginning of May. Gee, that sure cuts down on my yarn stash. Guess I'll have to plan a trip to the lys at this rate.
Speaking of yarn, with the help of DH and the loan of a ball winder
My next project, before I begin the July KAL on Ravelry’s Sock Innovation – Cookie A KAL
I’m going to attempt to knit a Tea Cozy from The Knitter – Issue Five
