Decisions, Decisions

Remember these?

The long-suffering, never-ending, knit on size 0, Final Four socks? I started these on April 2nd. Pathetic, I tell ya. Of course, I’ve finished two other pairs of socks since starting these, but still, I’m sick of them and determined to finish.

Here’s my motivation for finishing.

Mmmm. Trekking XXL. For the Trek Along With Me knit along, of course. I already had all four of these skanks in the stash, just so you know. You thought I just collected Vesper? Nope. Trekking, too. And maybe some Opal. Oh, and let’s not forget the Socks That Rock. But I digress. I must decide which skank of Trekking to knit first. Any favorites? I’m looking for guidance, dear reader.

Oh, one last thing… My Iris are in bloom.

  1. My favorite trekking is the orangey reds one though perhaps that’s because it seems similar to the flames I’m working on now. Love your Iris! Mine are in a chilly spot and haven’t even got buds yet.

  2. For the first Trekking Along, I’d go with the green and red and yellow and other forest in bloom colored skank.

    Beautiful iris!

  3. Hey Carole! I really like the red/orange/purple Trekking – I don’t think I have seen that one knit up. The gray one would be perfect for Project Spectrum neutrals month (August) 🙂

    Lovely iris! The ones I have seen around here are on their last leg…

  4. Beautiful iris. I like the one on the upper right. The upper left one is intriguing too. The bottom two… I’m just not a lime-green grrl, and the gray? Save it for winter.

  5. My favorite is the one on the the top right. I just ordered my first skein of trekking and I can’t wait until it arrives. I love all your flower pictures!

  7. While personally I prefer trekking 100 (i think that’s the one on the upper right) the flowers in your picture make me think that the yellow and purple trekking is the appropriate one for you right now. 🙂

  8. I’m partial to the Trekking 100, but having seen lots of socks from that colorway, I think I’d vote for the grays. I’ve never seen that one knitted up. Looks yummy.

  10. Hey~ It’s the process, like..you know?
    The red Trekking is fabulous but the weird yellowy one is very different. Use it!

  14. Bottom left corner skank.

    Exquisite iris! You should make excuses to get out in the yard to walk around that one often.

  15. My vote’s for the yellowygreeny one on the bottom right. I’ve never seen that one.

  16. Top Right – but I’m a ‘Fall’ kinda girl ;o)

    No iris for me yet – but I do have a lone tree peony blossom :o))

  17. I like the reddish one on the top left and the yellowy one on the bottom right. They’re both really nice and not ones that I see a lot.

    I love your iris too. Mine already bloomed and I miss them. Thanks for sharing yours.

  19. I vote bottom right- the limey-greeny one. It’ll be a real eye opener!

    Pretty “long-suffering” socks btw

  21. Size 0?? No thank you. That’s quite a feat! The pattern is really cute!

    I like the Trekking in the upper right – but I’m partial to the “fuzzy” colorways.

    Beautiful flower!

  22. Obviously, I like the bottom left since it’s so similar (same?) as the one I’m knitting, but . . . I like that yellow-green one at the bottom right, too. Then again, the multi-color at the top right is lovely . . .

    Oh heck, knit them all! (Stripes, maybe??) (grin)

  24. My vote: The neon green in the lower right hand corner……………..yummy!

    And thanks for the Iris picture……….lovely!

  26. I love the iris. My grandmother had a bed of irises that her mother had planted and I loved to see them bloom. What a beautiful picture.

  27. top right — first choice. top left — second choice. bottom right — third choice. bottom left — give it away

  30. Lower right corner or upper left corner. An awful lot of people are knitting Trekking 100. Which, I must admit, is my favorite…

  35. The Trekking in the top right of the picture looks interesting.

    Your Iris is beautiful! Wow. Make mine look so plain. 🙂

  36. Those are some NICE yarns. I can’t use hte US#0, I keep snapping or bending the #3s. I can’t imagine trying to use them, I’d never get beyond the ribbing. The almost-done pair look really great, can’t you imagine wearing them SOON?

  39. I like the top left – kind of funky. And the Final Four socks… well, 2.5 months (since March Madness?) isn’t SO bad for an unfinished project? They’re cute!

  42. Beautiful socks, beatiful iris. I like it here. Can I stay? Will you feed me and adopt me and everything?

  43. Your dyed yarn looks SO good. Yeah, I know that was what, three posts ago? But it really does. And I had no idea that Trekking came in so many colors!

  44. Lower right, limey yellow!! Screams spring! Can’t wait to see it knit up!! (I have at least 6 skeins in stash just sayin’)

  46. I’d go with the yellow for right now. It is the color of Spring and sunshine!

  50. definately yellow – it’s summer!
    and hey- your iris look just like mine! (only mine just finished their bloomin’.)
