Hmm. Since I didn’t prepare you for two consecutive days of knitting, I’m a little worried about the manifold ramifications thereof.
Everyone still with me? Good. I started the Meilenweit Sunset socks in mid-February and finished them last night. I like them. A lot. That may or may not be related to the near-perfect level of matchy-matchy I achieved. Or it could be the purple.
There was a shocking level of feline interest in the completed socks.
“Man, dinner sure was tasty. But then… it always is. Too bad there’s never enough of it.” -Chaos
“Nothing like a little after dinner bath. A clean panther girl is a perfectly wonderful panther girl!” -Mayhem
“Hmm… stripeyish socks have appeared on the floor. This has the look of a panther girl trap! I must be wary.” -Mayhem
Nice socks; love the colors!
Mayhem has a very active imaginary life. Love the socks, but are they for you?
Wow, you did a great job matching up the colours, and I love them. *love love love* How is it your heels look so good?!
(Watch as panther girl allows her curiosity to override her instincts. We set this trap to see if we can get our cameras closer to the elusive female panther, and our patience has paid off. Look at the magnificent coat! Will she pounce on the hapless prey? Or will her instincts warn her off? Let’s watch.)
I was shocked by the knitting, but, luckily, sitting down. I love love love those socks. Purple matchy matchy?!
Ooh.. love the socks! They appear to be very matchy-matchy because I couldn’t find the bit that didn’t match and I didn’t break out into hives upon viewing them. lol.
You are absolutely right: that is an amazing level of matchy-matchy. Well done.
Definitely a success, both in the matching up and the socks themselves!
Barney called to say he wants his socks back 😉
Love ’em! 🙂
those are really cute socks!! And VERY matchy matchy! I’m impressed. i usually am a bit off on one of the toes. which is why I like to change the colors in heels and toes!
May leads such an exciting life!!! (in her mind)
Those socks are amazing! I aspire to your level of matchy-ness. So. Jealous.
Wow the matchiness is outstanding! I love the colors.
The matchy-matchy is shocking – did you try THAT hard or get lucky???
Chris- It would have been nice to have been forwarned. All these FO’s- I don’t know how much more we can take.
Nice socks- purply!
“There was a shocking level of feline interest in the completed socks.”
I think they are hinting that they want handknit socks of their own.
Matchy purple stripey socks! What could be better!
More bright colors – I think the baby will love the bright colors, and the kitties obviously love the matchy matchy
And just when I’d tried so hard to convince myself that not matchy-matchy was my own art form, I see that your matchy-matchy truly is the essence of socks.
(grumble)
Very beautiful. How could they not be? Matchy-matchy AND purple!
See, Mayhem? I TOLD you there were stripey socks in your near future.
You’re right, I’m about fainting here!
i like those socks, they would look great on some feet
Considering the different sizes of stripes, that is amazing matchingness. And that is a fabulous purple. I’m sure May will like them more when they are sopping wet and in the sink.
I like Chaos’s tongue in his picture. I guess he did like dinner!
Pretty stripey purple socks! Of course the kitties are intersted!
Best matchy-matchy grapey-grapey socks ever. That was fast work on those. I agree with all Melanie said above. I think I’ll look into Meilenweit Sunset sock yarn. Yums!
Cool colors!
Ooh, that’s a good color set. Of course, purple’s always good. 🙂
Wow–love those colors!
The blanket is beautiful too. Too bad you’ll have to scrape cats off of it pre-gifting…
Socks are on the floor and Mom’s got the camera. Time to freak out!
Those are perfectly lovely and not trap-like at all young May!
Oh, those are cool! I’m impressed by the stripey matchiness!
those look great! toe up or top down?
I’m totally in love with your socks.
Perfect matchyness!
That is a great shade of purple! I wish I finished more of my sock projects more frequently (I think I have 3 pairs on the needles, waiting for me to finish the gift scarf before I can touch them again).
GREAT socks!!!
Wow, I’m amazed at your stripe matching abilities. Course that could be because I throw caution to the winds when it comes to matching stripes. I love the socks!
Wow, those knit up quickly! I love them.
They are very nice, though that matching stripe thing is a little scary… did you work to get that??
Love the matchy-matchy and the purple!
I love the purple stripey socks! Amazingly identical!
Matchy-matchy to the maximum! Those turned out swell. Nice color changes in the Meilenweit, I think.
I love the purple socks. Look good with black kittehs
Lovely socks 🙂 Milenweit was my favourite sock yarn with nylon in. Super hardwearing and so comfy…..
