New socks

But first, it’s a very important day!

Hank is TWO years old! He’s getting lots of love from his people. He might get a birthday doggie donut from our local donut shop later. He’s already excited.

Now, those socks.

Aren’t those colorful? The yarn is an older Opal sock yarn color, named Kasimir the Daredevil. I entered it into my stash in 2008, so it’s doubtful that it’s still available.
The pattern is the same one I always use, Jerry rigged to fit my foot. I have found that I needed to decrease the number of stitches around a bit since I lost weight. Not a bad problem to have. I put a picot top on these, which is fun, and also keeps John from stealing them. He thinks picot tops aren’t “manly”.


And no, they don’t match. No, I don’t care.

And here are the new socks on the needles. Seattle Seahawks colors, to kick off the new NFL season.

That’s all for now.

  1. Cute socks. Love the Seattle colored socks too. I enjoy knitting socks to match the local football and soccer teams. Love the “light” reading in the background.
