Weekly Challenge: Roy G Biv …

The prompt for this week’s challenge is:  Roy G. Biv: no, he’s not the new bagger down at the grocery store. “Roy G. Biv” is an acronym made of the first letters of the seven colors of the rainbow, to help you remember: Red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue. Indigo. Violet. It’s also your photo challenge theme for this week!*

You can attack this challenge in one of two ways: share an image that contains all the colors of the rainbow (or an actual rainbow)…

FO: Rainbow Socks

On Monday, I finished Brock’s rainbow socks.

In one of the three Bluum Boxes I received after I cancelled my subscription, there was the most adorable pair of rainbow baby leg warmers. This one thing made all four boxes worth it, though if you ask me, $100 is a lot to pay for leg warmers…

Moving on.

When the bluum box with the leg warmers arrived, my husband loved them. He wanted a pair for himself–a sentiment that has been common in adults since I started dressing Felix in the leg warmers (and sharing photos of them on the internet.)

I told Brock I didn’t think he would get much use out of legwarmers, but that I would make him matching socks. It just so happened that I had my eye on Munchkin Knitworks, waiting for an update of her rainbow sock yarn, just because I was already smitten with the idea of rainbow socks. A couple days, I had some sock yarn that I thought matched the leg warmers remarkably well. And now my husband has some rocking socks, which he has been wearing all evening, despite the awful heat and humidity of the the day. (It was in the low 90s here today, and we’re expecting rain.)

I’m posting this picture again, because it makes me really happy.

Rainbow bright

This is not exactly a roy g. biv yarn since pink doesn’t exactly fall in the rainbow but it sure is bright and cheery and fun to spin. I had to finish it up as soon as I got home. I navajo-plied it to maintain the color progression.
