Knitting Update
I know, I know – probably poor Marina’s fallen over in shock. 😉 I finally finished my plain old socks! The yarn is Wisdom Yarns, Marathon Socks – Boston (color 212), knit on 2mm needles. I love this colorway! Stripey blue, purple, and black – life is good.
“What? What do you mean, I’m not the subject of this photo?!” -Mayhem
“Fine, be that way. But I’m sure everyone will like the other photo better!” -Mayhem
Awww, so cute with the sock blockers.
Hey, am I really first???
And, yes, this is the year of destashing. I’m loving spinning up all the fiber I can so far…
Love those stripes!
What a great colorway on those socks!!
Mayhem you are ALWAYS the subject of the photo.
Fa la la la la, la la la la! Thanks for the brain insert….grrrrrrrr.
Wait, why do I have to destash again? I always thought my stash was too small…um, don’t ask my husbands opinion.
Great colorway on those socks. Why is it we blow through patterned socks and drag our feet (no pun intended) with plain ol socks.
Those are really cute socks! I like the striping a lot.
And maymaymay you’re special to me! Don’t worry. 😉
The socks are lovely, just like May. hah
Thanks for the shout out on the destash sale. I’m hoping to get enough to cover the utilities they’re threatening to cut off!
Chris- People actually part with their yarn? How odd.
Heh. I do actually like the first pic better. You don’t have to tell May, though. 😉
Wow, Marina is going to fall over, what with the amount of FOs we’ve been showing off! Nice…I love blues/purples.
Aw, May really does looked a bit stunned that she’s not the center of attention in that first shot!
Hah! I am not believing the glare today May! Nice socks your mom made.
Those are some great socks! I guess I’m due for some stockinette socks soon too.
Yay for new socks!
wait a second… those things are called sock blockers? holy cra… so like if a friend of mine knit some socks, i could ask him to stop sock blockin’ me?
Here’s where I pretend to know what you mean by “colourway” (gotta add the U, ya know…):
Oooh! What a great colourway! I love colourways! Colourways for Prez!
Got a bit of ego going there on the cat, eh?
Socks look great.
PUUUUUURTY.
I swear this year I’m really going to try to knit and spin up more than I accumulate. 🙂 Nice colors in the socks!
Love the colors and the narrow stripes! Mayhem is pretty sassy; might be time for some bib modeling to make her humble. Just a thought.
Awww Mayhem, you look so lovely seated atop those marvelous, yummy blue socks.
Nice socks – all the better for May to play with …
May’s a bit of a diva, eh?
Oooh, an FO! But Mayhem did look fabulous on them.
Very pretty socks!
That’s funny, I just bought some of that exact yarn when I was in Portland over the holidays. 🙂
Lovely socks!
Pretty, pretty socks. Stripy yarn makes the sock needles fly.
Those socks will go great with jeans. Mayhem could wear them with little kitty jeans.
Just discovered your blog – love your cats and your knitting! I’ve got two orange ones that are rather similar to yours. The socks are wonderful!
Thanks for the mention. Those socks are pretty. Of course you love them, aren’t those your favorite colors? 😉
Purple? Looks more blue to me. Pretty!
Maybe I’m colorblind…
I want me striped socks. NOW.
