Socks for Mark and me (or is it I?? or is it myself?? – hmmmm) (Pairs #34-36)
These three pair took forever to make. The red, white and blue pair – oh did I dislike that yarn. Until I told myself ok, they’ll be my 4th of July patriotic socks, I just dreaded working on them. After that, it was smooth sailing. The middle pair are for Mark . They were ok to work on except the solid color got a little boring but that’s because I love working with the self-patterning so much. The other pair – oh my – they were my biggest sock disappointment to date. They are Paton’s Kroy. It worked up beautifully. The pattern is the fluted banister pattern that I’ve always wanted to try and is actually brainless knitting and they turned out beautiful – until I washed and blocked them. They lost some of their brilliant color and felted just a bit. We’ll see how they wear but again, disappointed.
Helpful hint – don’t walk away from a photo shoot with cats in the house who adore and covet wool.

♥I love you Mom♥ (Pair #33)
Happy Mother’s Day to Mom! I made her these socks and we bought her a wireless mouse and keyboard. She was pretty happy. I was not fond of this sock yarn – the color looked a little dull to me but Mom loves them and that’s all that matters. Mom – you are loved.

Corey, the foot model (Pair #32)
Doesn’t Corey make a lovely foot model? These are Corey’s newest socks, although these are from March 6, so I’m wayyyyyy behind on posting. The socks Corey got for Christmas were not a perfect fit so I made him these to his specifications (mental note – Sock Wizard doesn’t work for everybody).
