Sock in peril!!

Hee hee – I thought this was a pretty good lolcats.

In addition to Celestine, I’ve also been working on a pair of… socks. These socks are from Panda Cotton Print (cotton, bamboo, elastic nylon), color Night Lights. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner that these would be somewhat lurid vivid socks. At first I was going to use a pattern with a relatively plain foot (K2 P2 *K* P2 K2) and a lacy cuff, but after knitting 3″ of cuff, I had to admit that the lace was completely lost in this colorway. The sock now has a 2×2 rib cuff.

I don’t plan to knit with Panda Cotton ever again – although it makes a great knitted fabric, it’s evilly splitty if your attention wanders for but a moment. Bah.

“Bwa-ha-ha!!!” -Chaos

Gotta go! Hope I can save my sock… and my foot!

  1. That is one funky colourway! Looks like the Northern Lights, actually.

    Chaos’s little feets look like they could do some serious damage!

  2. Bah! Banish the splitty yarns! I just struggled through a scarf with a terrible offender. I think I knit every singele stitch twice!! Then I ruined it’s squishyness with blocking 🙁

  3. Yea – I can see what you mean about lace and that colorway – holy cow! OK, those Chaos claws look ouchy.

  4. Hope you successfully unhooked yourself from the kitty claws without any snags. Splitty yarns = headaches. I love the bright colors though, these socks are really, really pretty! LeStat Cat… snort, giggle.

  5. It’s the 60s all over again. 😉 I like them though. I keep knitting with them it seems but I have problems knitting most cotton yarns.

  6. The colorway reminds me of the way our old TV would look when it didn’t get great reception, with the lines of gray scrolling up the screen and distorting the colors… Heh. Would be strange to wear on a foot, though. 🙂

  7. splitty yarn.. bah, ick.
    it must the bamboo content – my kitties go nuts over bamboo.
    the socks sure are wild and fun tho 😀

  8. Ha! the lolcat was HI-LAR-I-OUS! And I like the black with the scary bright colours. Although the splittiness will convince me not to buy. I will keept he colourway in mind for something else, I think!

  9. Wow – I’m glad I didn’t get to this until night time. That would have shocked me too much at 6:30 in the morning! Yikes.

  10. I don’t know why, but they remind me of those television screens late at night, before something like the Twilight Zone comes on. Hmmm.
