Such Corny Socks . . .

I am behind on my posting but it's because there has actually been some knitting going on! And I was waiting for the perfect photo op.

Last year I tried to design a pair of black bat socks using the bat lace panel in Barbara Walker's Third Treasury and it just wasn't turning out. Even with my day-glo white skin, you couldn't really make out the bat. Alas, my first "design" attempt was a bust. But I was also inspired last year to make candy corn socks--and this year I finally made them! Note:I bought three bags of candy corn to use in the photo op and, well, they (deliciously) didn't make it. So I bought some more yesterday, did some Kitchenering today, and here are the socks! *Yarn is Dale Baby Ull.

Also, I have made great progress on the Rainbow Socks (a freakin' brilliant short row pattern--the name is deceptively vague). The pattern repeats go so fast they're addicting! The front has a cool zig zag going on. Not sure why I didn't get a picture of that. Well, sock #1 will be done soon and I will document all angles. :) *Yarn is Silver Streak by Scout.
