…but really, I am still knitting! (Yes, I’ll pause for y’all to recover from the traditional shock of discovering this is a knitting blog.) The first Cable Twist sock is nearly finished and feline interest in this project remains high.
“Addi addi addi addi addi…” -Chaos
Here’s a macro shot of the cable twist detail. Loves me some twisted stitches, I does! (See Mayhem’s nose sneaking toward that strand of yarn? I fear she doesn’t share my love for and appreciation of twisted stitches.)
“Yarn yarn yarn yarn yarn…” -Mayhem
Do not fear, Gentle Readers – I expend a great deal of effort to keep Mayhem from actually connecting with yarn. Cat carrier love notwithstanding, I don’t want to make that vet visit…
Hehe 🙂 Now I’m not brave enough to try cabled socks yet. I think she must have been communing with Ophelia because she won’t leave my knitting alone!
love those socks.
love the kitty creeping closer.
Hmm, one of the sweaters/cardigans on your Ravelry queue would have been a bigger surprise 😉 But, those are lovely and a start!
pretty! I really need to try some cabled socks.. all of mine are rather plain.
Oooo, I love that color and the pattern, too.
Heh, Atticus got a week’s reprieve… Cute little Mayhem nose! *beep beep*
Lovely sock! Oh Mayhem, what a cutie.
Oooo, pretty.
Shhhhhhh! Don’t say VET VISIT too loud!
that stitch pattern is gorgeous. i can see why may is tempted.
you have sweaters in your queue? i can’t believe it!!!
Pretty fine stitches there, no wonder they’re interested.
Lovely work! I really like the heel.
My pups share May’s yarn lust. It’s a challenge.
Your socks are beautiful!
Wonderful socks! Adorable kitty! You’re blog is a perfect way to kick off the morning.
I’m not brave enough to try cable socks either. At all.
I love that color! In fact (looking down at feet) I happen to be wearing socks that are almost that same color. Or maybe they are the same color. It’s hard to tell and I’m not sticking my foot up by my monitor here at the office to try and verify. *grin*
What yarn are you using? My red is Plymouth Happy Feet color 3 (isn’t that the most imaginative name for a color?!?).
Chris- What do you mean it’s a knitting blog?
A few kitties would beg to differ.
Knitting! Excitement abounds! And what amazement – they’re RED! (And beautiful)
Cute! Did I miss what yarn it was? You know I can’t ignore any red knitting!
Oh, now that is a NICE sock! I likes. 🙂
Pretty! Will you be mirroring the second sock?
Well, at least they appreciate your knitting! good luck on the vet visit!
All your finished projects should have a tiny tag stitched in that says, “Blessed By Kitties”.
Mmmm…my favorite color. Those twisted cables look great.
Which reminds me. I found that chunk of yarn at the bottom of the bag that was carrying the prizes you and Deb donated this past weekend.
Its odd, Jack & Benny have no interest in my knitting at all. I hope it isn’t THAT bad. 😉
The socks look great, love the color
The cat might not like the twisted stitches, but she sure thinks the woolly stuff is tasty.
Gorgeous sock – pattern and yarn! Is that some Silker original yarn?
I wish! No, that’s STR in the Mustang Sally colorway.
I’m inspired. I’m naming my next kitten Addi. Addi Turbo. (At least, I’ll try to. My next kitten is waaaaaay off in the future.)
I vote we adopt the following acronym BBK to represent Tink’s term “Blessed By Kitties”. It’ll be the feline version of “I approve this message”.
Beautiful socks, btw.
Very pretty! Just the thing to beat down the winter doldrums. I didn’t think Chaos went after the Addis! You must keep all your needles hermetically sealed.
My cats would totally eat yarn if I’d let them. I have to keep them away at all costs. I don’t want that vet visit either.
I love the cables! They’re more angular than rounded. Give it a very different look entirely.
Nice socks! I like the color and the pattern. Katie’s interest in yarn is directly related to me knitting. If I’m not knitting, she isn’t interested at all.
That yarn and that pattern look AWESOME together! Love red, and heaven knows there’s little enough color outside right now.
Mayhem thinks so too.
Looks like a nice sock!
That is a pretty sock. I know I’ve said it before.But it really looks great in that pattern!
Neat sock!
