Sock Races

The black pair won the sock race by a few hours!
The black socks have a good variation of color which I aim for in a kettle dye;  its good.
The red/green pair are superb!  I loved the red / green switch every row and the little speckle area pooled in an amazing way to swirl over the top of each sock!
I love them and so will the recipient!
Yippee! 
And I did another yippee yesterday-I made a batch of soap!
I haven't made one in a long time and we sure needed it!
(The bonus bars from Araignee'sWeb held me over!)
I have made a 4pound, 16 bar batch of peppermint soap 
which is my children's favorite formula!

    PEPPERMINT SOAP!!!!! Bruce and I can hardly wait to have the right smell in the shower again and we look forward to unashamedly mooching some. ๐Ÿ˜ We will try to remember to hug you before we run to the soap! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Yay for the FO's! I love the way both turned out. It's so much fun to knit with your own dye job.
