I love Rhubarb! It doesn't grow well down here in the South, but every once in a while, my grocery store has it somewhat fresh. I love to eat a stalk with sugar, or put it in a pie with some strawberries, but my favorite is making Jelly/jam with it for me and my FIL.

At first I thought socks?? But I've seen a few around and the fact that they would knit up fast is a plus!
Not sure what pattern I'll make, maybe a slipped stitch rib, plain ole' rib, any suggestions??
Happy Weekend Everyone!!
As for me, I'll be inside away from the heat, trying to breathe, sewing and knitting! :)

Just gorgeous!! Love it!
beautiful! the true colors of rhubarb!
That really does look like rhubarb! My grandma makes a wonderful rhubarb pie. Yum.
Beautiful color! Have a great weekend with your projects. :)
Ooo..I don't know. I'm a believer in that a pattern will come to the yarn. Not vice versa ;-)
Very pretty!
Mmmm, that yarn looks so yummy. :) Yes, my first thought was socks too (although I guess we have socks on the brain these days!) I always think slip-stitch rib looks really pretty - I've been meaning to do a pair myself.
Great close-up shots. I love all those colors. Amazing how popular rhubarb seems. You know I don't think I've ever tried it before. I'll have to gie it a shot.
So, so pretty!
very pretty yarn
I think 2/2 or 3/2 rib pattern ;o)
Stay cool & breathe!
I *so* love rhubarb. My favourite is just to make rhubarb sauce to put on ice cream :)
Divine, where's the custard.
Ooh, beautiful colors! As for pattern, maybe Broadripple or Ampersand socks?
Ooo, pretty! Rhubarb itself has always been a mystery to me. I think it's because it's used in pie, but looks like red celery!
I don't like the taste of rhubarb, but that yarn sure got my attention!
Beautiful yarn!
Strawberry rhubarb pie is my favorite.
delicious!
super yummy!
rhubarb pie. My gram used to make it. Its been so long, I cant remember the taste, but those colors are awesome!
What an amazingly beautiful colorway!
Hard to believe that rhubarb won't grow well; I used to go over it with our lawnmower and it just kept coming back!!
I too can't imagine rhubarb not growing well. We have a patch that we just can't kill. It makes lovely pie, though! Strawberry-rhubarb is my favorite.
I don't think I'd make socks. That yarn's too pretty to be under shoes! Now mittens would be another thing...
Such a beautiful colorway! I bet a pair of socks would look awesome in this yarn!
Yum, looks like a great pair of socks one day.
Love the color and I love rhubarb!
Dang it!!! Now I want a piece of rhubarb pie!!
