I have lilac buds.
They can be found both in the form of lilacs:
And socks:
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
The smell of lilacs is one of my most favorite smells in the world. I bet you win, though.
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!
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!
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? 😉
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!
Both are beautiful! (but I’m betting on the flowers)
Neck and neck.
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.
I guess it depends on the weather this weekend….nice, warm, sunny, and I’d have to give the edge to the lilacs!
I’m going with the socks! I love lilacs, you’re so lucky to have them!
Hmmm….. my guess is the socks! 🙂 Gorgeous yarn!
They’re too pretty to care who arrives first.
Could be a tie. Those lilacs look pretty ready, but you are one quick knitter! Can’t wait to see both.
If I were a betting person – I would bet on the socks!
I’m not betting, but they are both beautiful!
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!!!
I love lilacs – and that yarn is gorgeous!!!
I vote the socks!
I suspect the lilacs will bloom first, but that yarn is just about a perfect match. It’s lovely!
(((hugs)))
Love lilacs — love the color of that sock yarn? What is it, please?!?
Those purples and greens are so pretty!
