On Saturday, I finished the Noroesque socks from the yarn I’d dyed using the KnitPicks sock blanks. They are taller than my sock blockers! I did have more of the gold left, but if I’d continued knitting, I would’ve had to fuss with calf increases. I was feeling lazy. 🙂
“Ha! These socks must not be stripey enough for Mayhem to deign to notice them, so they’re all mine!” -Chaos
“Wait, where did she come from?!” -Chaos
“Mmmm… vaguely stripey socks…” -Mayhem
Poor Chaos! You’ve got to be faster, though May could let you have some things.
Too bad about not using all the Gold! That was my favourite part 😉
You know… those socks make me think of a sun rise… gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous 🙂
Cheers Eva
At least Chaos got a chance to lay on socks. Funky socks!
Spiffy! I like them. THey’ll be nice and cozy this winter. 🙂
Gorgeous socks!
Oh, Chris! They’re great! Cats not included, right?
Love the colors! I have yet to knit with any of yarn I’ve dyed yet, but perhaps this will inspire me. 🙂
Love the socks
Lovely dyeing job! Glad to know the white spots didn’t interfere too much with the beauty of the socks.
My, those blanks give you plenty to work with, don’t they?!
Gorgeous!
Calf increases – bah! – who needs them anyway?
Chris- That is the first time those sock blanks have made any sense to me. They’re really pretty.
Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a cold and snowy winter- well Duh!
I like them very much – what colors are left on the skein?
I love the colors. So pretty!
Ooh.. I like those! I think its funny though that I tend to really like colors in socks that I wouldn’t wear on the rest of my body.
May would be very happy in my house.. there are many many stripey socks here. Unfortunately they’re mostly store bought.
I like the way those look! But it’s a good thing to know that the KnitPicks sock blanks give you a LOT of yarn… in other words, unless you want tall socks, be careful how you dye the yarn!
I kind of like the gold as an accent at the cuff rather than a wider stripe.
They look great!!! Nicely done!! Dang.. I might have to break down and get some sock blanks.. but but but.. I don’t do socks really really no!!
hehe
I think they look great! How did you end up liking the sock blanks? Did the white bits bother you or did they end up blending in?
I really like these!
Very nice looking vaguely stripey socks!
Wow. Those are just stunning! I love the colour transitions you got from that… I must try that!
Lovely Noroesque socks.
Great socks! I love the Noroesque dyejob!
I like these socks! Nice work dyeing them. Too bad May won’t share one of the socks with Chaos.
Very nice!
One paw over the line, sweet…..
Pretty socks! And I love Carrie’s comment!
Love the gradual stripes. You did a great job! How can a cat resist stripey goodness?!
Lovely! What do you think of them? did you block them or are you just waiting for their first wash to get them unkinky?
Absolutely beautiful!! The color gradiation is just lovely.
those came out so cool. what a great dye job.
Wow – they are really super! Nice job on the dyeing and knitting.
These are awesome!
I think the socks turned out wonderful.
Loving those socks!
