Thanks to the wonders of Ravelry, I now know what a "smoke ring" is. Previously I was unaware of such a thing. I kept seeing this one called Old Shale Smoke Ring and thought it was very pretty. I realized the suggested yarn is Mountain Colors Bearfoot and knew I had a skein of that. So I cast on. It's easy (only one round of four in the pattern is not purely knit) and pretty.
Pets told me they'd like to model my work-in-progress. Here's Lucy. (Please excuse my pajama pants.)

You've inspired me to knit on for myself. It's always fun to find something else to do with my enormous stash of sock yarn. I should put it in the attic to insulate the house. But, we'd be too hot.
I love the smoke ring - I look at that pattern over and over, but I have not cast on yet! I like your choice of colors too - it looks pretty on both your girls!
I'm going to have to visit Ravelry today and look up smoke ring. It looks neat.
