Christmas Light Socks

January 9, 2008 By Carole

Behold my first pair of socks 2008.

Aren’t they cheerful?

The yarn is Sophie’s Toes and the color is called “Christmas Lights” and that’s just what they look like to me.

Of course, the real Christmas Lights are all put away for the year but these socks will be a sweet reminder of the season until it comes around again.

    Love the bright, happy colors, and the slightly pointilist way they all play together — not quite stripes, but not quite dots, either.

  24. Emily says

    January 9, 2008 at 11:11 am

    Adorable! Those pictures are making me very very happy! Love the picot edge too.

    You know, I am not normally a big fan of gaudy colors, especially a lot of them in the same skein of yarn. But those socks… yum.

  34. Mia says

    So pretty, those socks, AND that yarn! I’ve never heard of it, and I see she’s sold quite a bit through her etsy site. I’ll have to keep my eye out to see if she offers that colorway again.
