I finished knitting these socks a bit after midnight on December 22. I knew I’d be mailing them over my lunch break that day, so I took pictures as soon as they were finished. When I set the socks on the floor, Mayhem woke from a deep sleep and came over to see what was up.
“Hey!! Stripey socks!!” -Mayhem
“Yup, definitely stripey socks. I approve of their bright pinky purpleness!” -Mayhem
“Oh, nice texture, too.” -Mayhem
“Were you trying to take pictures of stripey socks without my assistance?! For shame, Mom, for shame.” -Mayhem
“Ok, carry on, then.” -Mayhem
The yarn is Grignasco Strong Print, colorway 013, and the pattern is a basic blueberry waffle.
Very pretty socks. Do May and Chaos go nuts over wool? Shelli rolls around on it and tries to eat it.
Oh wow! Socks! Excellent colour choices. Mayhem and I both approve.

Very good with the matchy-matchy.
PS – Magellan will awake from a coma-like state if you bring apples to his cage.
Lol, oh the stripey socks 🙂

For a second or two I was terrified as May’s claws were clearly visible, but it looks as if no damage was done. Good kitty!!

Love the color too. I can’t believe the weird attraction your cats have to stripey socks. What if they are plain? Do they ignore them? LOL

OMG! Socks! Stripey socks! Matchy stripey socks! The world is ending! Oh… maybe it’s just the year that’s ending.
Chris- I did see those on Ravelry. Such wonderfyl purply stripiness.

I will not have an aneurysm because you are actually showing knitting content. I will not, because my blog has been devoid of the knitting lately too.

I feared to read this post in case May’s sharp claws and teeth had wreaked havoc on the stripey socks. Whew! Apparently you have a friend who like purple stripey-ness as much as you do. Great socks!
Cats like to try out anything placed on the floor, I’ve noticed. At least he didn’t rip them to shreds :).

*thud*
I think I’m going to have to sue you. I just fell out ofmy chair and onto the floor over the shock of knitting pictures. I may demand as full settlement the cats.
p.s. I really like the socks, the recipient very lucky!
and may I say that this is proof of why all the animals in my house went INSANE sniffing my feet when I put those socks on. 🙂
You did a fantastic job on those socks. You should be proud!
I see you are still (to me) the sock queen. I bow before your skill and confess I may never knit another sock…cuz you know the rules are you should have *two* when done. I’m not good at *two* of anything. But I am knitting….again…finally. What’s up with all the gay romances, I must have seriously missed something… LOL 🙂

Yay for stripey socks! May knows a good thing when she sees it. Or steps on it. Or kneads it. Great colors, too! Happy happy New Years!

nothings better than kitty approved socks.
A recent post from ikisti..almost 2011
WOW!! Very impressed. I went through a phase of knitting scarfs…but never socks.
May….really like socks, doesn’t she? Good to get the May stamp of approval 🙂 It’s like a quality stamp 🙂
A recent post from orannia..With Intent
Knitting! Nice stripey socks, with matching stripes too! It’s good to see they got the Mayhem vote of approval.
A recent post from Sydney..Merry Christmas!
I can’t get over how perfect those socks are. They’re also perfectly gorgeous. I love how May will wake from the deepest of sleeps to inspect them. What a clever kitteh. 😀
A recent post from Bronwyn Green..Perhaps the best gift of the year
Gorgeous socks, how could anyone possibly be expected to not want to roll around on them?! Especially someone who has already demonstrated a sock fetish. 😉
Best socks ever! I luv them too Mayhem! Pretty, pretty colors.
Nice job Chris. 🙂
A recent post from Lea..Merry Christmas!
Very nice! Always good to see stripey socks on your floor.

Knitting? I thought you’d given that up! 😉 And May seems to prefer stripey socks to naughty boys!
A recent post from janna..Merry Christmas!
Hey, finished socks! Congratulations!
I love that they’re a Mayhem magnet.
Knitting??? *falls over* hee hee!
I feel slighted not to have received such a gift as this! Wondered – do you keep that pristine-looking piece of carpet specifically for photos – otherwise – where are the cat hairs?!!
