Get Your Forks Ready!

'Cause these Watermelon socks are done!  And good enough to eat.  Really.  And nearly identical, but not quite...a few rows off at the beginning translates to a whole lotta rows at the end (say that like Pete Puma -- I love that guy).  'Cause even though they don't look it in this picture, they are exactly the same size.  Exactly.  Should teach me to try and get self- striping- yarn- socks to match, eh?  'Cause if I'm gonna do that, I should start at the beginning of one of the color stripes, not in the middle of one.  Right.

Oh, you want the particulars? 

Yarn:  Sunshine Yarns Sock Yarn, Watermelon Stripe colorway.
Needles: size 1, Crystal Palace Bamboo.
Pattern: Generic top-down, heel flap, kitchener toe.
Time:  Last Tuesday night to this morning (do I have to get out a calendar?)  And, rest assured, I am not thumbing my nose at the cosmos.  Nooohooohooo -- I'm thrilled with the cosmos for allowing me to finish these socks.  Really.  Sock Savior or not.  Really.  Now lets drop it.

Next up?  Turn this (the yarn from Judy at the end of the post) into one of these.  I'm on it.

If they matched exactly they would be just like a hundred thousand other socks. As they are, they are unique in all the world. And very beautiful.

Yummy socks! Who needs socks to match perfectly. They wouldn't have any character.

They look wonderful and I have my fork ready!

I love love love striped socks, especially fruit-theme ones! Good luck on the lotus blossom, I am way to chicken to take on lace. That fire was a doozy, I rode my bike past it last night. I heard on the news that they suspect arson.

Hoooray! Thanks so much for being a sock savior. You're the best! (And the socks got to visit with the Yarn Harlot - that makes them even more special.)

Those look delicious ...... and I always like my socks to be fraternal, even if only a wee bit. Makes them more interesting.
