Whew.....the Red Socks are finished! I have to say that as much as I like the way they came out, they were truly a chore to knit. A true labor of love for the youngish man they are gifted to. Stockinette on size 0's .....ey yi yi:-)
Having finished up these socks, I am moving on to the next pair of socks that has been lanquishing in my basket. These are the New England Socks from Knitting on the Road. I am going to alternate working on these socks and Hypotenuse. If you are on the fence about knitting Hypotenuse....let me help push you off. It is a enjoyable easy knit!
As it is just too darn cold for a long outdoor walk, I will leave you with these silly dog pictures as I hop onto my treadmill. Silly Maggie, she thinks she's a Cavalier!
What? She's not a Cavalier?

Finished socks are always cause for celebration. It doesn't happen too often where I live!

Love the red socks! Finished just in time for spring training. Looks like you'll be through with the next pair shortly. Are they for you?

Oh they are so precious! I love the looks on their faces. It looks like they're having a slumber party, doesn't it?
Those socks really are a labor of love, but they turned out perfect and authentic! I'm working on a men's pair in stockinette on 1's, so I feel your pain.

Maggie is so pretty. What type of dog is she? What a gorgeous face.

Some sock knitting knitting going on here too, partly as a distraction from CD and, who can resist all the awesome sock yarn and patterns? Love the pics of the pups!

Oh oh oh! I love the colorway of the Knitting on the Road socks you are knitting now. Is it one of yours?
Silly dogs. :)

Kim -
Can you really blame Maggie for wanting to be a Cavalier?!?! :) Who is the other pup in there with Cleo? So cute!! I might want to crawl in there too!
Posted by: Tammy | Wednesday, February 07, 2007 at 11:10 AM
It looks like Maggie is guarding the little dogs. :) Very cute!

Maggie has someone trapped! The socks look great and well worth the effort!

I knit a pair of Red Sox for Dale a few years ago but I used worsted weight and size 4s. Much quicker!
Love the photos of Maggie with the other dogs, what a riot.
