FO: Spinach sock

They are done!!!!
Nothing fancy here. Just plain ol' vanillas. The yarn is our Tabby Cat. It was destinied for the shop, but I wasn't happy with how it looked in the skein. Dave isn't picky about his socks, so I figured it would make a decent pair for him. But it surprised me - it looks much nicer knit up than it did fresh from the dye pot.

These will be tucked away for his birthday in July (it's nice to be ahead of things!). And now I'm ready for something fun... I'm thinking PINK!

And yes, that is still that slushy, ice pellety crap underneath the socks.  Yesterday we were even getting flurries!
But it is melting... just not fast enough for Relic and I.

They really are lovely socks, but anything green is lovely to me! Poor Relic, if only we could teach our pets patience.

Beautiful socks! Great to have a gift ready already!
We are expecting sleet and snow this afternoon. I have the luxury of being home with Fireman. My lunch plans were cancelled as the weather is not good for driving in . Im content to be in honestly.
50s by the weekend they say! It is just weather but man, it is hard to ignore it!

Gorgeous socks. I love Plain Vanilla patterns - easy to wear and to knit.
