I visit Yarn Bits and Bobs when I'm in Pittsburgh hanging out with my mom. When I was there in September, I saw this display of Yarn.Rehab from Meadowcroft Dye Works.
The really bright one is called Black Light Elvis and it followed me home. I had no idea what I was going to make, but it was sooooooo bright I just had to buy it.
I downloaded Easy Peasy Socks for First-Timers from Ravelry. I'm not a first-timer with socks, but I won't turn down something easy.
I started knitting, but when I read the pattern calling for size 5 knitting needles, my brain mixed that up with size 8 knitting needles. Why, brain? WHY?!?!?!
My first attempt at the sock was GINORMOUS!

Once I switched to the proper needle size, the socks were done lickety-split. I needed a FaceTime video conference with my daughter to talk me through the Kitchener Stitch to finish the sock, but I love them!!!
I get very cold feet in the winter thanks to an autoimmune condition, so wool socks are a NECESSITY!
These are supposed to glow under black light. I haven't tested that theory yet, but will report back once I do.
