Yes, I do seem to be stuck on this pattern for birthday socks this year. It has all the qualities that make it great for gift socks so I used it again.
Daughter Heather's birthday is May 13. Next Saturday we're getting together for Louise Lunch to celebrate her birthday and Mother's Day. She requested gray or black socks, so I made her a pair of each.

I guess that answers the question of what we could get accomplished if we weren't wasting so much time on the internet! Can't believe it's time for the Louise lunch already. Didn't you just have it?
ReplyDeleteLovely socks.
ReplyDeleteEach pair of socks is beautiful but the green ones are extraordinary. Your Mum is one very lucky lady. Amazing what is achieved when we don't have a computer, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteThe speed at which you knit absolutely beautiful socks astounds me! I love your simple way of showing us the patterns so we can attempt them, too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful socks. Yes, the green ones stand out, but they are all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour nesting pictures are great too. I'm looking forward to hatching.
All of your socks are perfect but the green ones are extraspecial! And, yes, I am a lucky mom to benefit from your extraordinary skill in photography as well as in knitting socks and knitware in general. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking socks! I want to make a pair of Embossed Leaves myself.
