Avocado Socks

April 17, 2008 By Carole

I found something rather unusual in the garden the other day. Wanna see?

avocado_sock1.jpg

Can you tell yet what I found? Let me see if I can coax them out.

avocado_sock2.jpg

Is that better? Can you see them now?

avocado_sock3.jpg

Ahhhhh. There they are in their full glory. A pair of socks. Whaddya know.

avocado_sock4.jpg

Truth be told, I hauled ass to finish these this week so that I’d have something to post about today. It was totally worth it, though, because I love these new socks. The yarn is Cider Moon Icicle (tragically no longer available) and the pattern is my basic 64 stitch sock recipe.

They are perfect for Project Spectrum’s Earth component, too. I love the browns and greens together.

And they look great with blue jeans. Or daffodils. Take your pick.

    In the first photo, the lovely sock looks like an enormous (friendly) caterpillar! Tiptoeing through the…jonquils?

    Gorgeous yarn! I have six skeins of Cider Moon in semi-permanent stash: five Glacier and one Icicle. I cannot bring myself to knit with it, because there won’t be no mo’. So, it’s pet yarn now. Is that weird?

    They are perfect with jeans and daffodils!!! What a lovely pair of socks.

    Love the color! I’m so glad we were able to coax them out into the light of day. The mix of colors is fabulous!

  8. Lucia says

    April 17, 2008 at 7:58 am

    Fabuloso! Maybe I’ll take inspiration from the squill in my garden (now blooming in abundance) to work on some blue ones…

  9. PumpkinMama says

    April 17, 2008 at 8:19 am

    Very nice indeed!

  10. Robin in VA says

    WOW…they are beautiful! Perfect for jeans.

  11. Wool Winder says

    Nice pair of socks! I love the striping of this yarn.

  12. Manise says

  17. Anita says

    Love the color! My favorite greens! Nice Job!

  19. Marcia Cooke says

    OMG….I thought that first one was a snake! Great socks, notwithstanding.

  20. Norma says

    April 17, 2008 at 9:46 am

    Awesome! Both the socks and the daffs.

  21. michaele says

    April 17, 2008 at 9:57 am

    I love that you are knitting in order to post. Isn’t that a little backwards? Cute socks – too bad the yarn isn’t available any more.

  22. Julie says

    April 17, 2008 at 10:29 am

    Beautiful socks; I LOVE the colors! And will you look at those daffodils; I still haven’t had one open, but soon I think.

  23. Beth S. says

    April 17, 2008 at 10:42 am

    Those colors are right up my alley. I adore them! 🙂

    It’s so sad about Cider Moon. I hope they can work out their legal issues and get back to making gorgeous yarn.

  24. Cookie says

    April 17, 2008 at 11:10 am

    Beautiful!

    You have a far more interesting garden than I ever will.

  25. Cheryl S. says

    April 17, 2008 at 11:14 am

    They’re great – I love the green and brown. But I like ’em better with the jeans. Those first couple of photos look a little scary.

  26. Laura says

    April 17, 2008 at 11:56 am

    Great colors! I like them with the Daffodils. Jeans are optional, right? heh

  27. elizabeth says

    April 17, 2008 at 12:29 pm

    yummy! those are my favorite colors right now. 🙂 the socks look great – i love a plain stockinette sock with tiny stripes – getting ready to cast on some for my Mom. 🙂

  28. Knitnana says

    April 17, 2008 at 12:32 pm

    I love those – and I’m not a green person at all, but those are gorgeous!

  30. Leslie says

    Beautiful socks! I wish I could find something that wonderful in my garden.

  31. Sara says

    April 17, 2008 at 3:15 pm

    Well, imagine that! Socks out in the garden! They did look like a caterpillar though…it’s funny how we each have one sock pattern that we just love!!! For me it’s Yankee Knitters Designs Classic socks for the family.

  32. Karen says

    April 17, 2008 at 3:18 pm

    Beautiful socks! The daffodils are quite lovely too.

  33. Kim says

    April 17, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    LOL…they DO look like giant catapillars in there…

  34. Birdsong says

    April 17, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    what a great spring colorway!! I would be wearing those more than most of my current ones:)

  35. Sunflowerfairy says

    April 17, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    I’m still trying to snatch up a skein or two on Ravelry. It’s so hard to come by.

    Nice socks, btw.

  36. lisa says

    April 17, 2008 at 8:18 pm

    Great socks! In the first pic you might also think it is a creature in the garden… love the colors!

  37. lolly says

    They are so pretty, Carole! I love the photos.

  38. Janet says

  39. Danielle says

    Avocados DO belong in the garden. But it is odd to see them in the Northeast. Nice shots.

  41. Hillary says

    April 18, 2008 at 8:01 am

    You were rocking the green yesterday too! Love the socks.

  42. Kathode Ray Tube says

    Those colors are just gorgeous, as are the socks. Spring has sprung!

  43. Kim says

    Love the socks! All cozied up in the daffodils…what a great idea, Carole! They’re beautiful.

    April 30, 2008 at 8:48 pm

    And I thought the only avocados were here in California. 😉 Those socks look wonderful. The color combination is fantastic, although Cider Moon did have quite the talent for that.
