This is how I will be seeing them most often. Jim is a good person to knit socks for because he most often wears them in the evening while he watches TV. I'm hard on socks because I wear them all day, every day. But he can't have these yet, I'm going to save them for the Fair. I still have to go through the prize book to see what the categories are!
You should be well satisfied with those socks! They are absolutely gorgeous - I love the patterning up the back!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have worthy subject for my socks, but the only one that likes to wear them is me most the time. The others go for the white tennis socks from the store.
ReplyDeleteWell, I know that you're going to win a ribbon or two at the Fair. Those are THE prettiest socks I've ever soon. Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Another pattern to add to my ever-growing "to-do" list ... :-)
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd for sure give you a blue ribbon. Great job -- they look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh, they're beautiful! I want to make a pair.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! But I have trouble wearing knee socks. They never stay up. Wish I knew how to keep them up. Good luck at the Fair. I love entering Fairs also but it's been a few years now. Maybe I'll put my tea cozy in this year ...
ReplyDeleteLovely! It looks like the shaping is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I totally had no idea the Western fair had contests like that. The socks are lovely, Laurie. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteI'm saving mine for our country fair in August as well. They're putting some new categories in this year, including a sock only one.
ReplyDeleteFirst, they need to be finished though!
Love the color of yours.
County fair, that is. Although, it is out in the country.
ReplyDeleteI wandered over from the Clessidra KAL to admire your gorgeous pair and imagine my surprise to discover that we live in the same city! I didn't even know that Western Fair has a competition for knitting. This gives me a reason to brave the crowds.
