Budding Socks

April 21, 2010 By Carole

I have lilac buds.

They can be found both in the form of lilacs:

And socks:

sock bud

Which do you think will come to full fruition first?

    If it was at my house, it would be the flowers, but you’re a fast sock maker, so maybe it’ll be those lovely socks!

    Sox first. Love the colors!

    Pretty socks!! What’s the yarn? I think the race might just end in a tie.

  4. jill says

    It’ll be too close to call. Pretty, pretty!

    I can’t wait to see the lilacs, but they usually mean the end of the blooming season and the start of summer. The blossoms are a little bittersweet for that reason. Your sock is going to be gorgeous!!

  6. Sarah says

    Well, if this were me we were talking about, the socks would probably be finished sometime around NEXT lilac season. 😉

    We’ve got buds here too! It seems just a skooch early for them, no? Everything this spring seems all weird, what with the crazy weather.

  7. Manise says

    April 21, 2010 at 8:05 am

    The socks! Cuz you are one fast sock knitter. Seems weird to have large lilac buds so early. They say they will bloom 2 weeks before they normally do.

  8. Beth says

    April 21, 2010 at 8:13 am

    Wow, your lilacs are that far along? I have a dwarf lilac in my yard and the blooms aren’t nearly that close to blooming. And I’m much farther south than you.

  9. Amy says

    April 21, 2010 at 8:34 am

    The smell of lilacs is one of my most favorite smells in the world. I bet you win, though.

  10. Kim says

    April 21, 2010 at 8:41 am

    I think you will be neck and neck in a good race. 🙂 Wow, you guys are much further along the “spring” process than we are up here in the mountains!

  11. Jeannie says

    April 21, 2010 at 8:47 am

    Oh, how I miss lilac season even if it is a short one. Brings back
    so many childhood memories!! Enjoy them. And I love your
    sock yarn. Great spring colors!! My guess is socks will be
    done first!

  12. Laurie says

    I don’t know, but I LOVE that yarn – what is it??? We are winding down lilac season here in central Ohio and, sadly, all of ours were taken out last year when the city redid the water lines, so I had to walk a couple blocks away to bury my face in the neighbor’s lilacs (which I did at every opportunity). We have a couple Miss Kim dwarf lilacs that are just now showing buds, but they won’t bloom till June…and they don’t have much scent anyway.

    Can I say again how much I love that yarn? 😉

  13. Dinah says

    April 21, 2010 at 9:02 am

    I love the smell of lilacs but I sort of look forward to them “going by” since that means spring allergy season is over. What is the yarn…perhaps that type of lilac would be easiers on my nose!

  14. Zarah says

    April 21, 2010 at 9:53 am

    Both are beautiful! (but I’m betting on the flowers)

  15. Cheryl S. says

    April 21, 2010 at 9:55 am

    Neck and neck.

  16. Hillary says

    April 21, 2010 at 10:22 am

    Oh, I don’t know which will bloom forst but I’m sure that they’ll both be wonderful. Such great colors in those socks.

  17. Marcia says

    April 21, 2010 at 10:36 am

    I guess it depends on the weather this weekend….nice, warm, sunny, and I’d have to give the edge to the lilacs!

  18. elizabeth says

    April 21, 2010 at 11:01 am

    I’m going with the socks! I love lilacs, you’re so lucky to have them!

  19. Kassia says

    April 21, 2010 at 12:33 pm

    Hmmm….. my guess is the socks! 🙂 Gorgeous yarn!

  20. Cookie says

    April 21, 2010 at 12:43 pm

    They’re too pretty to care who arrives first.

  21. Doris says

    April 21, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    Could be a tie. Those lilacs look pretty ready, but you are one quick knitter! Can’t wait to see both.

  22. Judy says

    April 21, 2010 at 3:38 pm

    If I were a betting person – I would bet on the socks!

  23. Nora says

    April 21, 2010 at 5:22 pm

    I’m not betting, but they are both beautiful!

  24. Donna says

    April 22, 2010 at 8:16 am

    Lilacs are my favorite flower since I was little. I think maybe because they bloom around my birthday I always had that memory.

    I love the color of that sock yarn, and knowing you, you will have the socks done before you can smell the lilacs!!!

  25. Sara says

    April 23, 2010 at 1:21 pm

    I love lilacs – and that yarn is gorgeous!!!

    I vote the socks!

  26. Knitnana says

    April 25, 2010 at 8:11 pm

    I suspect the lilacs will bloom first, but that yarn is just about a perfect match. It’s lovely!

    Love lilacs — love the color of that sock yarn? What is it, please?!?

    Those purples and greens are so pretty!
