Ludicrous Socks

What Horton heard;

Seusssocks

And they are loud enough to be heard.

Heel detail,

Seussheel

Yarn; Cascade "Fixation". For those afraid to work with cotton this stuff is great. It's already elasticized and not so hard on the hands. A little goes a long way. Seriously, from 4 balls of 100 yards (relaxed, as opposed to stretched) each I'd say I have enough left over for another pair.

Complete with Easter grass. Blink. Swear I saw a bag of candy in those exact colors. My motto: seldom does anyone see one's socks. So any color at all is fine, even with blacks.

Yeah, Cascade Fixation, nice and stretchy...great for 2 piece bikinis!

Socks

I am a sock machine. Not that I churn them out, no, but in the way I wear them, multiple pairs at a time when on location, with toe warmers. Love me some wind chill. Warm ankles go a long way towards happiness.
