I have two new Regia sock yarn collections to share with you today. Above the Pop Art collection. Six colorways that deliver just what you'd expect, random pops of fun colors. Definitely on my to knit list. Right after I finish the socks I started last night for Joe in the Denim Look color below 4390, Jeans.
These socks are knit up samples that came from Regia, but that didn't stop me from casting on my own pair in the exact same color. It's a color that Joe will wear but won't make me want to poke my eyes out when I'm done. Though I will admit that because I knit while watching TV at night in a darkened room, it was hard to look down every once in awhile and see my knitting to make sure I hadn't dropped stitches. Instead, I counted the stitches every few rows to make sure I still had 24/24/20.
Where do you find yourself knitting the most? On a morning commute? In a favorite chair while watching TV in the evening? Most of my knitting is done on the couch in our family room once the boys are in bed, from 8-10pm. This time of year the sun is setting behind the clouds and the sky is beautiful. I watch TV and rarely look down at my knitting, which is why simple socks like these are the perfect evening project for me.
I knit on my couch in front of the TV too but am not good enough to actually watch TV and not pay attention to the knitting.

When I watch TV, I knit. Long car rides, I knit. Sitting on the porch, I knit.

I knit mostly sitting in my rocker recliner, with dog next to me, in the evenings watching TV. I sit in front of a big window and have a lamp right over my shoulder when it gets dark or I'm working on dark colors.

Any time I am procrastinating about cleaning. My house is dusty, but that shawl is getting done!

I travel with sock yarn, so... overlooking marinas, on board tall ships, tents, other people's sofas, parking lots, and all sorts of random places :) If I'm knitting at home, usually on the sofa or loafing in bed. Every so often I take the laptop outside and watch a movie and knit on the patio.

Which one of the pop art yarns is pictured above? None of the ones for sale look like it, & I would like to purchase this one ;-)

Sitting around the campfire with my family all us girls work on socks. Also love to knit while lounging in the sun on cruise ships!

I keep a sock yarn slouchy hat in my purse to work on in waiting rooms. I have an afternoon project to work on while listening to music and an evening project also. When I'm at home, I sit in my recliner and knit or maybe at the kitchen table while I wait for supper to come out of the oven.

I'm usually sharing the couch in the evening with a great big orange cat and my hub. My sewing/knitting room is my weekend go to place to knit.

I knit anywhere I can find time. Often sitting in the break room at lunch or waiting for doctor appointments
