Socks with Bling

On one of my many searches through the knitting bags in the dining room, I came across a sock project that I had ripped out and restarted.   The label for the yarn was gone.....I have a vague memory of where it came from....and an even more vague memory of the yarn label.  The memory of the yarn was strong and I remembered how much I liked it.  It became my "carry around" project.

Socks knit with a christmas colored sock with a little lurex for bling.
I do remember seeing this yarn in a catalog and deciding I really needed it.  How long ago?  Best not to confess.

The yarn is fun to knit and lovely and rich in color.   I have, and I hope this is correct, a vague memory of more yarn like this somewhere in the stash.   I don't think this is available anymore...and I really do like it.

At one point, I did believe that sock yarn does not count as a purchase.   This changed when I realized that even if I was a millipede....I have WAY too much sock yarn.   Now, sock yarn does count.   I am glad to be using up some of the skeins in the hoard.
