Warning! Hazmat Suits Required


I refuse to answer any questions regarding the bobble yarn that so delicately rims the top of these socks. Suffice it to say that it's a long story involving Asherbanipal, a radish, two feemsters, and a Batmobile.

    They certainly don't lack a thing in the "bright" department. The bobbles do add a nice balancing touch and a bit of playfulness. I like them.

    I absolutely LOVE them. Colors like that turn on some happy button in my brain. :)

    Would the receiver of this work of art be so brave as to model this work of art in combination with the tuxedo?

    If loving those socks is wrong; then I don't ever want to be right again.

    And you did not go blind knitting them either.
    Very upbeat socks. If you lived in the cold grey/brown north someone would steal them from you.

    Ooohhh......those look fabulous! As soon as the picture popped up on my screen, the Green Woman appeared out of nowhere and started poking me, trying to convince me that we must find some fiber/yarn in that color right now!

    Thanks Fleegle :o) for your kind comments and the fact you still 'read me'.

    I look forward to seeing your embroidery. I love Japanese embroidery did a sampler once. I love the silk, most of the designs but not the strict discipline of this colour for this motif IYKWIM?

    Batmobile? I think not. Clearly a Batcycle was involved!

    Can I send you a bill for a new monitor? Mine seems to have melted shortly after the sock picture was loaded.

    These are the tuxedo socks, right?
    They would have looked great on the wedding party last month....

    I've had such a hard day here that I owe you BIG TIME for the good (and so far only) laugh. Absolutely smile inducing socks - they definitely belong with a tuxedo or with sandals under a bridal gown.

    These look like like such a fun project from spin to knit.
