This is what happens to me when I am bored, I begin to surf and find myself in the land of ideas.
Some of the people who create these fun sockie creations make me realize what a small fish bowl I live in. I have just now begun to knit a pair of socks with two cable needles. Boy this is much easier than 4 dpn's.
Isn't this a sweet idea to put a cotton crochet trim around the top of some nice wool socks.
This was posted under Shark Week, that really takes some imagination to come up with the idea let alone to actually see the idea become a sock. I don't have the image of the other sock but the shark is going the other direction and the toes are sticking out of his mouth..Knit toes!
This is a free pattern on Ravelry, its called Owl socks. See the little beads in the owl's eyes. I have not found the right yarn to make these yet or the beads for the eyes. I really want a solid color so the pattern shows up nice, but I am thinking this white is pretty fanciful!
I love this little anklet, its so sweet with the button! What a great way for left over yarns, you could do the cuff and the heel and toe in different colors too and again, using a great button to make it special really is sweet. Now if you look close they didn't just sew a button, which I am sure you could, but there it a little flap that lets you tighten the anklet - so would love to have this pattern.
Hey, I have someone in mind who would love to have this pattern which of course in searching is no longer available. I love the little sheep in the field and the fence that runs along the bottom of the sock to keep them all corralled in. Clever people.
Another adorable anklet which would knit up so fast and use leftover yarn. Nice summer knock around the house treats for the feet.
OK, these are just WAY odd looking, but don't you really miss wearing your summer foot wear in the winter. This pretty much addresses the issue of socks for sandles.
So delicate I had to include these in the little footie selections. These look like cotton, and the soft delicate lace work I bet is pretty easy with maybe only 4 or 5 repeat rows on just the top.
What's in your yarn bag!
Have a great holiday and hope to see ya at the knitting table where as you all know - OddBalls, where everyone knows your skein.
