These were so quick to knit after those 12" ribbed monstrosities that I knit (Your Tax Socks)...
I love them.
I checked this morning and Via the Magic 8 Ball... I see more anklets in my future (signs point to yes).
Bonus!...I have enough yarn to knit another pair.
I highly recommend the seller KBrece on Ebay. Good Stuff!


Check out my sis' recap of S&W weekend at Chez Pixiestikz...she outs me as a Notorious Snooze Abuser!! Which I am...This morning I hit it, er, twice? um, thrice? Pixie sleeps through it too...it must be genetic.


next up?
Spectrum Green Socks...For May.
Green is so very.
How proud am I that I just dyed some VERY green yarn?
I'm ready. Bring it.


holla!

Your anklets are so cute!
Inquiring minds want to know, does the spiked kiwi taste like a regular kiwi?

Love the socks! You finished them FAST!

Yes, I had to get back at you for that hideous photo of me that you posted on your blog...So now the whole blog-world knows you are a snooze abuser!

Hugs!

They are so cute! The minute you got that yarn, I knew it would make some great socks! :)

Green green baby. I am hoping to cast on for some green socks this week...

Love,

I *love* them! I can't get enough socks, either. I am tempted to knit up a green pair of project spectrum socks myself!

Super happy fun times with the sister :). My sister came to the festival with me on Sunday, and it was awesome!

Love the anklets... I think I might need a pair of my own...
