Neon Socks

Here's a pair of socks that I am thrilled to be finished with. I've already established that they're wicked bright and that brightness makes it so hard to photograph well. This time I didn't even try. Sorry.


For all my complaining about how loud these socks are, I was surprised to get many positive comments about them as I carried them about working on them. Granted, some of those adoring comments came from Stinkerbelle's friends in her GS troop. No big surprise that they'd be a hit with the 4th grade girls.

I was more shocked when some women I was commuting to work with admired them one day. At first I though that they were colorblind but then I thought that maybe it was the influence of the gloomy weather. That's gotta be it - right? Endless days of rain will addle anyone's brain.



Anyway, in the end these socks are nice aside from the color. I really love the pattern and how all the details work together. The cables that border the gusset - fab. The weave stitch - marvelous.

I've given it a lot of thought and I think I know exactly where these will go. I know a certain little girl, a niece, who's more girly than my girls and I bet that these will make her smile.

BTW, dont'cha love Stinkette's modeling job? What will I do when my girls are away at camp? Who will model the socks? Oh woe is me!
