papaver sok

nothing takes my mind away from the gray winter blahs like a splash of bright color and a bold pattern. it seems as good a time as any to bring some cheerful poppies into the house.

shown here in zen yarn garden serenity, a merino/cashmere/nylon blend, colorway, paprika.
kit available here in four luscious colorways

Great name and wonderful sock! The leaf repeat looks like a lone poppy petal.

I think it is very fitting that you finished the Papaver Sok while in California for TNNA. The Poppy is our state flower. Off to Zen to purchase. Thanks.

Gorgeous! Those socks are the perfect antidote to winter (not that we’ve got any of that around here…)!

Thanks for another great pattern. It was a nice surprise to see you had the pattern available already; I almost didn’t check until next week. Maybe my other project will have to be put on hold! Enjoy your trip.

So pretty — love both the pattern and the color! And I’m glad that you’ve had such nice weather in San Diego.

Those are really pretty socks. It’s nice to see a flower motif that is different from most others (I almost wrote: that isn’t too “flowery” – I guess you see what I mean).

Great California sock!

Those are so pretty! Sometimes a nice girly sock that isn’t too girly is just perfect. I have a yarn that would look awesome in this pattern I think.
