One FO and a partially FO

The “evil merino” soaker
Not the best picture for sure, since I just plopped it down on my sad excuse for daffodils and the light is all wonky and I didn’t even really attempt to straighten anything out.. but you get the idea 
The waist and leg cuffs are Paton’s Merino.
The first bobbin of the Merino/Tussah
Still not sure I like the colors, but we’ll see what it looks like once I spin the rest and ply it.

Oh, I believe you that the merino is evil! I just meant that the colors turned out pretty good despite the other problems you had.
Oh, and that’s way different from what I’ve seen of Roses for you… When I was trying to decide what colorways to get, I had found this picture (http://teleknitter.blogspot.com/2007/02/sock-swap-sock-yarn.html) which made it really hard to resist. But that looks MUCH different! The only reason I didn’t was because I had a bunch of “lighter” colorways, including a similar colorway from Misty Mountain Farms. I wanted to get something more dramatic (hence the chocolate covered cherries). Are there other areas that are more pink, or is it all like that? Seems very odd….

I’m pretty sure that is a different colorway…mine is from the merino/tussah page, not the hand dyes.. it’s a blended color.
It’s mostly muted green with a little pink here and there. Honestly it’s not the lack of pink that dissapoints me, but the green just seems so flat and lifeless. The picture from spinning bunny looked like there were some brighter greens in the mix… mine is definately dull.

That “soaker” is absolutely cute! Good job. Love the colors.
