Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

Well, the Socks that Rock X-Mas Rock socks are finished. I have to say that I am in serious love with this yarn. It's springy and cushy and soft and easy to work with. Love, love, love it.
Here are the socks in my new crocs:

That's about all I have for today. Don't forget to visit Lisa Souza and get some Violet's Pink Ribbon, and while you're there, get something else too.
Also, don't forget to go over and give Scout some well wishes before she goes off to Knitty Gritty!!
Oh yeah, and before I forget, I tried Avon's new stick on fingernail polish things. Oh. My. Goodness. 2 days and no chips (record for me). They've survived dishes, bathing the LittleMan, being hit with knitting needles, and general everyday abuse and no chips. They are awesome!
Have a great weekend!

Very nice socks....good job. Do you notice whether your Crocks wear the toes on your socks? I've been told they do and have been reluctant to wear them.

Love the socks...what pattern did you use?

Emily said...

I love how socks peek through crocks (and they rhyme)! Yours are well worth peeking at!

Really? No chips? I may have to try those...

I used the x-mas rocks with Jeanne Townsends Cascading Leaves pattern. I am going to update my blog later with FO pictures. But there are already a few on there. I had a difficult time with the colorway, but the socks are warm and comfortable.

Thanks for visiting. I actually hate the colorway. What is up with the YELLOW. No one in my family can figure out what the yell is in Christmas. I have lots more STR yarn and actaully have a picture of Ruby Slippers in medium weight somewhere on my blog. I did post fininshed pictures a bit ago and have come to the conclusion that long pants and shoes are the only things that will complement these socks. At best they are warm and I will not feel bad when they wear out.
