Now, don’t go expecting this to turn into a “real” knitting blog or anything… 😉 I recently finished a pair of plain old socks, knit from Trekking 144. I was strangely helpless to resist this colorway, even though I’m not a particular fan of jacquards. What is it about Trekking?! (And yes, I am nearly helpless to resist doing the matchy matchy thing with such yarns…)
Feline interest in this project was shockingly low.
“Again, not really stripey socks. Alas.” -Mayhem
“Wait, did you get my permission to include my tail in this picture, Mom?! I don’t think so! Hmph.” -Chaos
Guess they don’t like everything you knit, eh? Your ability to match, is brilliant!
Oh man – Chaos totally gave you the tail. So humiliating! 😉
Despite the lack of feline approval, I think they’re very pretty socks!
I think they look great! And kudos on matching up the stripes like that!
Getting the tail (or butt) is like having a cat flip you the bird…
What happens to your tail is up to YOU Chaos. 😉
It’s as if they are bored with knitting content and would prefer to see themselves exclusively in the blog!
those are socks
both of them
Chris- When great care is taken to have both socks the same, it’s called “matchy-poo”-
really.
Nice socks! I like the colors, they are nice and springy.
(I hope Chaos does not sue you for including his tail in the photo without express permission …)
Got to match the pattern repeats.
You did read about the Regia Sockie, didn’t you???
Chris, do you have a fever?!
Love THEM! And yes, just what IS it about TREKKING???
I was looking at that colorway just a day or two ago…
(((hugs)))
Nice socks, nice colors! Great matching job too. I usually make a half-hearted attempt to match. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. May and Chaos are just disappointed that you don’t have anymore stuffed toys.
luv those matchy-matchy socks. I’ve never been able to get mine to do that.. heh heh. I guess it takes a bit of patience!
I am very pleased with your match job! Way to go!
I think they could feel your apathy about the socks.
You make me wish I could knit.
I have about 3 balls of Trekking in my stash even though I really dislike knitting with it. I’m still tempted to buy that rainbow colorway of Trekking – I’m pretty sure they put something in the yarn (like human catnip) that makes us want it no matter what.
Very nice socks! I would be too lazy to match the stripes. I can’t understand why your cats didn’t like them.
But there’s purple in the stripes… don’t they like purple anymore? Or are they boycotting the pink stripe?
Nothing will ever live up to the myth of Celestine
And yes, perfectly matchy-matchy.
It’s a good thing that at least some of your knitting is safe. 😉
Holy HELL! Knitting!?!?! 😀 Scooter says “show me the Mayhem!”
Wow, they really do look unimpressed!
clearly the feline fibre inspectors have hit overload. or they are afraid you are going to try to put the socks on them!
Socks are gorgeous, I love the colors.
Those are so pretty!
I am totally about the matchy-matchy thing, too. It just shows how detail-oriented we are, right? Right?
I am in awe of your matchy-ness. ;o)
