See the pattern? I must be liking the blues right now. The top pict is a hat from the knit.1 magazine (Spring '07). I'm doing it in Sugar 'n Cream hot blue.
The middle pict is a sock pattern from Interweave Knits (Fall '05) called Rib and Cable Socks. It's a Nancy Bush pattern and may or may not be in the book. I don't know, I haven't had a chance to look yet. I kept all my back issues and went through them and liked this pattern the best. I'm using Brown Sheep Company Luxury Sock Yarn in Temple Turquoise.
The bottom sock is the second of the pair of Lion Brand Magic Stripe in Sea Blue Pattern.
I think after these are completed I need a new color!
What do you think?
(Oh, I don't know if you noticed, but there are a lot of links today.)
I don't know why I started the second pair of socks except that I think I was getting bored with the st st of the magic stripe sock. It's a great pattern, very easy and basic, but I needed (and my hands) a change of pattern. However, if you noticed, the rib and cable sock and the hat have a lot in common. Both I'm doing in blue (I don't know if you noticed) and both have ribbing and simple cable patterns. But the sock pattern has a good flow to it where I find myself getting lost in the rhythm of the ribbing. (It's great, as that hasn't happened to me in a long, long time.)
Hope all have a great week. Do you ever notice that all your projects are in the same color family? Does that happen to you too?

I love those blues. I do the same thing myself sometimes--especially with blues and greens.
Yes, many of my patterns are in the rich tones of whichever color I am using. Never bright, never pastel...
Love those socks!
It really seems you have the blues these days - but in the positive sense of it! I really, really love these shades of blue you're working with! And yep, I do notice occasionally that all of my projects are pretty much the same in colors - I especially have to try hard not to make everything in shades of orange these days ;)
