Sorry for anyone who was worried that I didn’t post yesterday! I coughed most of Monday night, so when the alarm went off Tuesday morning, I called work, said I’d be in at noon, and went back to sleep. Much better!
Mim needs a name for her new camisole pattern – if your name is selected, you could win yarn, some soap, and one of Mim’s patterns!
Heather is helping to raise money for books for an impoverished South African school, which is the sister school to the Montessori school Heather’s daughter attends. If you pledge $20, Heather will send you a skein of her hand-dyed All Things Heather sock yarn. If you pledge $25, she will dye special yarn for you. But really, any amount will help. Deadline is March 19.
The polls are open in La’s DeFeet of Cuteness contest. So hard to decide! So many cute feet! Polls close March 9 at 5 pm PST.
I finished my Jailbreak Jaywalkers. True, true, they aren’t quite finished in the pictures, but they’re finished now and waiting for a little bath.
“Those are some pretty crazy socks, Mom!” -M
The sock on the left was knit from the outside of the ball of Opal Zebra. The sock on the right was knit from the center. Who knows if that led to the dramatic difference in the cuffs between the two socks! These socks definitely grew on me as I was knitting them, especially when I discovered the dramatic changes adding a few stitches made – the feet were knit on 72 stitches and I increased to 84 for the cuffs.
“Let me just sneak in here and work my magic on this yarn…” -M
*sound of shooing off-camera*
“Hmph, if you’re going to shoo me away, I’ll go after the ball itself.” -M
*sound of shooing off-camera*
“Sheesh, Mom, you leave me no choice but to go after the needle!” *chomp* -M
*sound of shrieking off-camera*
Awesome socks! I hope you’re feeling all better now. May! Get your toofies off those addis! egads!
I have your new Addi’s still! Must get together!! Love ther jailbird socks…
Heh – Is Mayhem well-trained to go after anything in the camera’s point of view? just kidding. Sorry you weren’t feeling well – a day of rest sounds like it was just the prescription (and maybe some sock knitting and kitty snuggling too!)
Aaaaaa! Addis! Peril!
Those socks are way too cool. For real. I love the fraternalness.
The horror! * covers eyes* Cool socks- and great close up of May the Addi Killer.
Addis?
At first I read Adidas. 😉
I hope you’re feeling better today and that you got a good sleep last night.
I need to make myself a pair of Jaywalkers one of these days. Owww for your Addis (and for cat teeth)!!
I love the socks. I really love that the cuffs are so different. Very cool.
tee hee…black kitty eats Addis…
of course, they’re safe.
AREN’T THEY???
Hope you’re feeling lots lots better!
(((hugs)))
Of course Mayhem and Chaos got my vote! I think those socks are great – faternal is the best way to be!
For just a little while, I was wondering why you had a big, black ball of yarn in the first picture 😉
GAH!!! What a cat lol!
Noooooo!!! Don’t chew the Addis!!!
Those are great pictures btw, very chromatic – the only color in there are the wooden holder dolder thingies
I hope you’re feeling better today. Those are some cool looking socks!
Ack! Baaaadddd cat! 🙂
Shriek indeed. Alfie hasn’t found the Addis unprotected yet.
And I must say, I feel much better about you as a person now that you’ve come around on the Zebra sock yarn. Good to see. :o)
Love the socks!
So are you going to re-knit or not?
*gasp* May! Stop it! Drop it! Drop. It. Now! Stop being a goof!
(Sheesh, I feel like I’m talking to Gandalf!)
{{{hugs}}} Hope you’re feeling better! And I love your funky socks, I think I’m going to pull out my tiger print yarn next pair of socks I make.
Poor Addi…did it survive the attach of M? Nice Jaywalkers!
I’m glad your back and feeling a bit better! Those sock do look drastically different, go figure!
Chris- I am WAY too anal about matching (something to do with being a twin?) to allow the socks to do what they do.
I hope you do.
Another theory proved- lay needles (expensive ones) on the floor, and the cats come running.
Glad you’re feeling better.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – …..
Oh, sorry, I was hypnotized by your socks. They remind me of the painting that Dali did for Spellbound. Very cool.
I hope the snow is melting and you’re feeling a little better.
Oish! May, what are you thinking. Cool socks, you can hang with the zebras now.
Definitely look more jailbird then zebra.
uh oh May, ADdi’s are precious! and that first picture, May just looks like a big black ink blob on your carpet. ARe you sure that’s her, and not an ink blob.
the sound of shrieking off camera, as you snap a close up picture? Danger likes the wire of addi’s too, doesn’t seem to hurt the addis or the kitty. 🙂 those ARE some crazy like socks!
I think May needs to be modeling those socks – that’ll learn ‘er.
I hope you are feeling much better today. It was a bit heart wrenching looking at that addi being chomped!
Your socks look really fun!
Those are some crazy socks! I actually prefer the one on the left that pooled more. The righty looks too regular. Jaywalkers are the best (says she who has only tried 2 sock patterns!)
A very similar incident was witnessed in my home last night. I was too traumatized to take a photo – I may never sleep well again.
Ack!
Those are some crazy cool socks!
LOOOOVE the schnozzle.
My cat knows not to mess with yarn, but that damned Trixie thinks it’s toys r us
ACK! NO CHEWSIES!!!
Great socks! They’re all I expected them to be!
Mayhem! That’s so hilarious.
That’s so crazy about the the socks. I love how they look, though. I must hide this post from Munchkin, as she does not need any new ideas.
Must have been a bitey night! Last night Rufus, of biting thru polycarbonate sunglass lens fame, and clear thru my ear in two places fame (oops sorry momma), bit and entire part off my portable DVD player during movie time! Chomp.
Zebras came out extra cool!
I love the Opal Zebra pattern. Isn’t it kind of a shame though? You have all these cool socks, but who gets to see you wear them? I mean, they go under shoes! Unless the shoes were clear. Hmmmm.
That’s some pretty funky pooling you’ve got there! But who cares? They look great anyway….
Oh, I hope the Addis survived! And get well soon; lots of nasty germs going around.
LOVE the jailbreaker jaywalkers.
See what happens when you don’t listen to May?? See??
Great socks! (I figured you were sick…) Hope you are better soon!
My boys looove to chomp on the Turbos… They recently spoled the only unchomped ones I had. (Which begs the question… Why did you snap and not yank those needles out of her mouth??)
Funny how different both cuffs are, they look cool though.
They always know how to find our weakspots, don’t they? I bet you went running for that needle. 🙂
Hope you feel better soon!
Oh dear, May is seriously getting VERY interested in the chomping of yarn and needles…..don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉
But she looks so cute too!
Lovin those zebra socks – too cool 😉
Zebra socks- they rock. Now I’m so tempted to uh buy more sock yarns…*sigh*
I have many DPNs with tooth marks adorning them 🙂 Ariel is a particular culprit!
