Island Yarn Company is having a charity auction on ebay for Doctors Without Borders and and Kiva – you can purchase a handknit or crocheted blanket, sweater, tote, or scarf and support these organizations at the same time. All auctions close the evening of July 17.
Have I mentioned how proud I am of my dear friend Rebecca?! While her bellamoden sock yarn sells out lickity split at the Loopy Ewe, she does have some available at her etsy store right now.
I have been knitting – just very, very slowly.
“Could it be?!” -Mayhem
“Oh, I think it is!” -Mayhem
“Mmmm… stripey socks!” -Mayhem
“Although they are the perfect place for a bath…” -Mayhem
“I think I’ll just lie here and love on these wonderful stripey socks.” -Mayhem
*uncontrollable purring* -Mayhem
What? Don’t feel as if you actually got to see my finished socks?
I knit them from Regia Banner Color #5451, using the stitch pattern from Charade and achieving near perfect matchy matchy. (You know how I am about the matchy matchy.)
And what did you do to May to get that unobstructed pic of the socks? The SPCA has your number
I can see why Mayhem has the Stripey Sock love for those beautiful socks!
Mayhem must love the matchy, matchy thing! You can tell that face is at peace.
Hehehehe… what did you have to do to take a pic without kitty help? Lock her in a bedroom
?
Gorgeous socks though… glad we got to see them.
Cheers Eva
I’m happy for Rebecca too! She does beautiful work.
Those are great pics of Mayhem. Lounging around on those beautiful blue socks (mmmmmm…)! What is it with kitties and wool?
May is really feeling the knit love!
I’m all about the matchy, matchy, too.
But you knew that.
Hey, Mayhem, how comfy are the socks? Will mom’s feet be comfortable in them?
I’d not thought I was about matchy-matchy till I knit the Meilenweit you sent me, but I am! LOVE those socks…and love the photos of May!
She looks positively blissful!
(((hugs)))
Chris- Stripey socks are as close as Mayhem and Chaos are going to get to a beach towel.
How else can they pretend they’re Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello? Kitten-Chow is more your Eric Von Zipper.
she’s weird – and I say that as the mom of one who just ran through the kitchen with an eggshell in her mouth. Gotto go…..”SAAAAAAAMMMMMMMYYYYYYY”
i do the same thing when i find a bag of fritos
Nice socks–love the colors.
Guess I’d better not mention my extremely non matchy matchy mittens I am working on right now. (hey great name for them -thanks!!) As always Mayhem makes your socks look wonderfully rich.
Very Nice Socks – love the matchy matchy….
Love them! I’m all about the matchy-matchy if I can manage it though I’m *trying* to be better about letting the yarn do its thing. Good thing they are kitty approved!
You’re such a nice mom to make stripey socks for May! I hope she appreciates it.
I love your stripey socks! And all of the pictures with Mayhem are great
I think you forgot to mention the catnip that the yarn clearly contains. haha
matchy matchy looks perfect – and May looks quite content with her new ‘bed’
Almost a shame to take those socks off the floor….
Mayhem should be grateful you knit her a pair of socks
I’m about to start a pair of charades too!
Wow, very matchy! Nice.
Nice blankie for napping too.
Obviously it’s been way too long since you’ve knit stripey socks, at least as far as May is concerned.
Nice socks and the matchy matchy thing looks perfect from here.
Great socks! I once got matchy-matchy by accident (I ususally don’t try). I think Mayhem really likes the stripes. I wonder if she thinks you just do it wrong when the socks don’t turn out striped.
Cute. I am a fan of the matchy matchy myself when it comes to socks.
I think you need to knit a pair of socks and leave them permanently on some sock blockers, on the floor, for your roommates.
Great socks – if you ever actually get to put them on!
Thank you for you, Chris! Truly. Maybe tomorrow between the antibiotic fog and the work work work I’ll blog
I have grand plans even. Hahahahahahaha. Ahem.
I love these socks!
The socks are purrfectly lovely……….
great socks!
Ooh, pretty! I love the matchy matchy, too.
I love your floppy cats.
Cute socks! Mayhem is just a wee bit cuter, though!
They are great!
Lovely!
What pretty socks and May seems to agree!
Me too! I’m so thrilled for Bellamoden.
Matchy-matchy. Me too!
I love that colorway of Regia. I made M2 a pair of shorty socks and myself a pair of handwarmers!

Aaah bless Mayhem looks so cute;) And yay to the new socks!
