A couple hours late on my post - I usually prepare it on Sunday night & then post it before work…but The Amazing Race took it out of me! What a great finale. (although I had to fight to watch it due to a Packer’s game…poor boy is broken hearted now.
But you aren’t here to hear my thoughts on TAR. I know you are dying to hear what my new commuter socks are. May I present:

Essential Tweed! Yes I am boring. While I love my bright socks, I do need some more subtle ones. I keep meaning to buy black socks…but why buy when I could make some?
Apologies for the blury picture, I didn’t realize how blurry it was until now.
I’m actually not doing stockinette socks this time. I’m mixing it up a bit - 7knit/1 purl ribbing. Nice boring sock still.
And now the winner! There were 4 people who guessed Tweed - Amanda, (blogless & one of my pdx kintters) Melody, Amy, blogless Nicole, and the last minute Bruny. And with the random generator…the winner is:
Amanda!
Yah! Congrats Amanda! Send me an email & we’ll work out the details (like which yarn you wanted!)
Thanks to all who entered - I’m going to have another contest in a couple of weeks, this was really fun!
And have a good Monday all, pity us who actually have to work!

The Amazing Race was great - I liked 5/6 of the final contestants (oh, Ronald, what a jerk) so I knew I’d be pretty happy with whoever won.

I almost feel like a winner.

Probably a smart plan to cast on the darker socks. My next pair are definately going to be more-work-friendly (as opposed to the very bright monkeys I’m working on right now!).
