    Hi!
    I must say that this colour is the most wonderful I have ever seen for long time. I am also a lover of Trekking yarn, so much that I bought sockyarn for MANY dollars just to get one skein of this, but I bought colour nr 110!

    Ooooooooooo.... I love how that yarn looks as Pomatomous! I wanted to do the Trekking thing, but I can't find it around here. Tried eBay, too, but no go. Maybe they'll do it again, and I'll have better luck! :(

    At least my STR for my rpms arrived today! (And I didn't have to pay duty! Bonus!) I have something else I should finish first, but methinks me sees me casting on rpms tonight!

    I like how the treking stripes along with the pomo-whatevers. And the shell stitch marker is awesome

    Very nice - I finished a pair in this colorway, but they don't look anywhere near as nice as yours.

    I finished a pair of Trekking socks this week but your's are so nice that I considered frogging mine and Pomatotrekking. I'll just have to get some more of this yarn.

    I have been wanting to get some trekking for a while now, but I promised myself that I would wait to buy some when I go to the beach in a few weeks. You are not helping me to be patient! That sock is beautymus!

    I'm really liking the Pomatomus socks. I just get scared to not to have enough yarn to finish the toes it I do them top down.

    Love the trekking color, I bought that color for my friend once and have been meaning to get some for me ever since. It looks great as a Pomatomus.

    Looks like you're up for a duel with Athena. Funny, even when Arachne won, she lost. That is if you consider growing 4 more appendages, and perpetually weaving, as losing.

    p.s. nice socks (and cute toddler, to boot!).

    Wow! those are beautiful, but my Trekking couldn't handle being p-sock after a drinkie at Pat O'Brien's in Nawlins.

    I see you decided on a pattern! I love the way it's knitting up - the pattern is not at all lost in the yarn!

    My husband LOVES I&O burgers! Too bad there are none in the East!

    Oh, I love the P 100! Hmm, might have to make a pair.... The problem is that 100 looks great as so many things, so how to choose?!

    Thanks for the comments on my blog. I love the Pom socks in that colorway. I never would have thought of useing Trekking yarn, but am now seriously considering it. Really seriously. No, I must control the urge and do more stach-busting, my closet is starting to overflow!!

    Wow! Your pomatomus socks look great! Now I want the color you have to make my very own pomatomus. But, I haven't even found any XXL that would be willing to make the trek to my house. Hmmmm, I may have to order some.

    Hey Aija, go to the Home Despot and get yourself some Tite-Bond II wood glue. I snapped not one or two but three pairs of Brittany birch needles, and I borrowed this stuff from my carpenter. It made an absolutely smooth, seamless join that I just buffed up. In your case you'd have to paint over the join so it didn't look like FrankenNeedle, but that'd be a small inconvenience to have 5 needles again.

    Wow! I'm falling in love with your incredibly fascinating pair of colorful socks! My Mom is fond of knitting, so I'll share this post with her! Working with the most professed custom essay writers, I'm now running out of time and must leave!
