After one of the most dismally wet Septembers on record, we are enjoying a few golden days of warmth. Warm enough in fact, that the kids have been able to spend an indulgent after-school hour in the seasonally deserted condo pool, and I... have an excuse to sit down and knit while they do.
That would be a Stormy Rainbow knee sock in progress (Blissful Sock). The colour distribution is pleasingly blended (as intended) thus far - it will be interesting to see how that evolves after the calf decreases. I really like the fact that layering the rainbow onto thundercloud grey creates an effect that is rich, rather than garish.

Many thanks to all the folk who sent supportive notes about my daughter - we've had our first team meeting of the year to sort out solutions to some of the biggest stressors, and small signs of stability and positivity are beginning to reappear. It is disquieting to see how little it takes to tip the balance, but I guess hypervigilance is just part of this parental package.
Love, love, love that colorway! Perfectly described as "rainbow onto thundercloud". Must have as living in Florida causes skies like that frequently... clicking over to look for it now! :-)

Holy cow, I love that colorway! Hopefully it's not sold out by the time I have time to knit something else...

Arrggg... foiled again by the early birds getting the yarn. Hope there will be more of this colourway b/c I'm thinking it would look pretty nice in Anne Hanson's Henley with a Twist, don't you?
