Wanda’s having a birthday card exchange – check out the details if you like to get cards on your birthday but don’t seem to do so in our electronic age.
Back in June, when I was in Denver at Michaele’s place, I started a pair of stripey socks, from Meilenweit Colortweed. I’m kind of glad I’ve been distracted by Sockamania socks since then so that I didn’t finish these socks until this past weekend because this is a perfect Project Spectrum colorway (orange-purple-brown)!
“These are, of course, for me.” -Mayhem
“Don’t you be telling me they aren’t for me!” -Mayhem
“Because I really, really like these socks. I will love them and hug them and call them stripey socks!” -Mayhem
“See? I hug them! And hug them again!” -Mayhem
It’s hard to believe she isn’t telling the truth and that, in reality, May could take a nice little nip!
Boy, she really, really loves them… Gandalf isn’t going to like that too much.
I really, really like them too!
I like the socks!
Glad you got to hear the Harry Potter!
ohhh I really like that colour combo!
Love your new socks! Perfect for Project Spectrum.
What did you do? Rub some cat nip on them?! Isn’t that purple a bit bright?
Mayhem really, really does love those socks! I can understand why; the colors are great!
Really, I’m beginning to think you train them to lounge on your knits! 🙂
Chris- I fear that your socks have been “owned”.
Can’t you make her a pair?
These really are cute! Too bad for me.
Cute socks! Mayhem looks so sweet and innocent.
I really love those socks. Great colors!
What’s with Mayhem and those socks? Is it the texture of the yarn, or the color? Maybe you should knit her a bib to model out of that stuff….
Looks like they’ve got the Mayhem Brand Seal of Approval. 😉
She really does love them doesn’t she ;-)Can’t say I blame her – lovely colours!
Good PS colors indeed! I’ve totally ignored PS this year. Ooops!
Something IN that yarn, I’d say…the socks are cool! Now…to keep May out of them!
(((hugs)))
Yes, Dory, they are your stripey socks – hope they do not sting you.
Those are some pretty stripey socks – and they seem to match perfectly. The matching is a little hard to discern with May all over them 😉
Wonderful colors!
She sure does like them. Does that mean she doesn’t try to chew them, or does she?
Very nice stripey socks. I can see why May is all over them.
Great socks! Dose Colortweed have catnip in the yarn?
Mayhem is an excellent sock protector. No renegade moths in your house.
Methinks Mayhem would have climbed right inside those socks if they hadn’t been on the blockers!
Very nice socks!! Wow is that two finished pairs this week?
Red,purple & black all in the same sock.. how perfect can you get? Are you sure that’s not the yarn that is made partially from ‘nip? Seems May loooooves those socks.
She is getting SO big. She’s longer than the sock blockers now. Great socks, too.
I do like the colors in this yarn. I was going to ask if you dip your knit projects in catnip or something – I actually discourage my pets from laying all over my projects. I have enough dog and cat hair as it is. I found my dog had slurped all over one of my River socks – luckily no teeth were used.
ooh, stripy socks. they are all the rage right now. I so love them.
It’s “George”, May. You love them and hug them and call them “George”.
Too funny! May is hilarious, but in all seriousness May, there are two socks…you have four feet, four very small feet I might add.
Oooh, I’m with May! Those socks are delicious. It makes me want to track down that yarn. Not that I need more sock yarn, but still, it’s beautiful.
Ah, so she *did* know something we didn’t! 🙂
Very nice socks. So are you going to give them to her? Or is there enough left-over yarn to make something for her with?
May is so cute! Those socks are lovely 🙂
I think you need to make May some stripey kitty paw socks
Holy cats! Is there catnip in those socks?
Those socks look really good on Mayhem. Red is definitely her color.
Awwwww. Maybe you should knit May a little blankie out of th sock yarn….
Ooooooo-ooooooo! Love!
And they look lovely with May’s fur. 🙂
yet another pair of pretty socks!! I need to get some socks I’m happy with OTN. I’m just not lovin’ either pair I have right now. In fact, I just pulled the needles out of one sock (quick and less painful just to slide those needles out)
May and the socks definitely look cuter than Bert and his latest obsession – he’s been hauling around a pen on a lanyard lately.
…and May will use them as a pillow and as a bed and as therapy and as a fix and as…
Wow, that is a definite cat-attracting yarn! And yes, much more stripey than the others 😉
Hey! Another Bugs Bunny fan! “I will love you, and hug you, and pet you and call you George” so says Gossamer the Snowman. That is exactly how our dark tortie became Princess George. She started out as plain Princess or Prinney but eventually got the George added on because she became such a lap kitten wanting to be hugged, loved, and cuddled all the time. So now she’s Prinney Georgie. Love those Bugs cartoons!!!!!
Also love your blog and May and Chaos. I have four chaotic critters so I know what you go through.

It’s so nice of you to make May some nice stripey socks. They are obviously her favorites. I agree with May, they are very nice socks!
oh may may. don’t forget to feed the socks too. If you have leftovers of that yarn, maybe make her a teeny tiny sock, stuff it with batting, and let her have it?
Oh that’s just obscenely cute. Yay for kitty sock hugging!
Hi you! Love the socks and it sure looks like someone else does too!
You’d best let May keep those socks…she seems pretty attached to them! 🙂 Will you remind us where you got the sock blockers???
I know just how Mayhem feels. I love those socks too 😉
