On my needles:

Socks - claudia's handpainted yarn, in a beautiful rainbow of colors called Carousel - purchased from The Loopy Ewe - excellent customer service

The reason I'm knitting socks - the 52 pair plunge

I already have another pair almost done - made from J. Knits yarn in the colorway Iowa, which is shades of gold.
