Paragon Socks

Eric and I went on a trip to Vermont last spring but I didn’t get a chance to buy any souvenir yarn so I hit up Etsy when I got home and searched for some Vermont fiber artists.  I loved this yarn — Starsheep Galaxy — by A Star is Shorn from Bellows Falls, VT.  The gorgeous yellow tonal color reminds me of buttered popcorn.

The pattern is called Paragon – it’s another lovely creation by verybusymonkey, who I’ve been slightly obsessed with lately… 😉
