This is a post without a picture. The picture will have to wait until I decide if it is going to be submitted for publication or kept as my own. Either way - I. Love. These. Socks!
They are boot socks, so cuddly and warm. Knit with a sport weight sock yarn, quick to boot! (no pun intended) Also, they are designed to fit the smallest woman to a rather large man. Socks with sizing! Gotta love it.
Well into the second draft of the design. Wanted to have them finished in time to submit to Knitty for their fall issue. No gonna happen. Maybe, if I can hold them back long enough, they can be a contestant in the Winter issue. Maybe winter would be better anyway.
Back to knitting a boot sock. Mine are in Opal yarn. Will make the Boyfriend a pair too. Never made him a pair of socks before. Wonder if he will wear them...

He'll wear them ... make sure he knows they are for his feet, though! Ha ha ha!!!
You just thought of the perfect name yourself: "Quick to Boot Socks". And here I'm thinking and thinking and thinking about what to call them. You clever thing, you.
They sound great! Are they one of your wakeful night inspirations?
Hope you had a great weekend!
Cool! Can't wait to see your socks!
You realize this is just a teaser trailer for the socks: you let us know they exist, and that they are coming but other than that we got nuttin'! Which means we're gonna hafta come back here periodically if no reason other than to see if there's been an update on them!!!
