And Then They Were Socks

Well, I had joked that the yarn looked like an easter egg, and maybe if I were lucky I'd knit them by Easter. But, in the end, after the detours to knit manly mitts, R2D2, and C3PO hats, I didn't finish by Easter.

I did, however, finally finish them! Ladies and Gentlemen, I now present.... The Kool Socks.

KOOL because they are hand dyed with Kool Aid.

Here's the Extreme Close Up of the sock, taken out in the sun -- the colors are fairly accurate, at least on MY monitor.

They're nice and bright and fun. And no, they don't smell good anymore, although they did when I was dyeing them. The scent rinsed out.

The Pattern is Grumperina's Jaywalker Socks -- the pattern for which seems to be down right now, I'm not sure why. I'm about two years late on the Jaywalker craze, but pleased with myself for finishing my first pair of socks for myself.

But, to avoid having this post ONLY be self-congratulatory, I also offer you my favorite sight of spring: When my squill bloom at once and make a small ocean of blue:

Isn't that beautiful?
