Still thinking
ACK! Sockapaloooza is gonna be due soon. I looked at my handpainted, handspun, handknit single sock and decided I didn't like it. 3 weeks and counting peeps. But I am almost done with my Jaywalkers. Is it cheating to send my sock pal the jays? We share sock size and she said erm let me look so I get it exactly right: Please don't let her be checking and recognize her words
vibrant blues, greens, and warm browns. No socks with pale colors, neon colors, or a great deal of yellow
Actually come to think of it thats close to what I said. I personally do not mind neons. I think the jays would look good with jeans or chinos which are my usual bottoms. There is blue, green, black, and tan in them. Reminder pic:
Do you think these work? The blue and greens are vibrant but not as vibrant as the last pair~ which bordered on neon tyvm and I consider the tan to be warm. Not flat and icky. Is this cheating? There are 1000's of sock pals out there the odds my recipient will read these words are extreemly slim. I hope. Anyway I think I am gonna try and finish these up and then work on another pair but I want to have these as back up. Cus I really don't feel much like knitting right now and know that there is a very high chance of not finishing a brand spanking new pair.

Definitely not cheating. Those are the colors exactly and will seem like they were picked just for her.

I think that'd make a great sock for your partner. I'd probably say the same thing about greens and blues and browns, and I love that LL colorway.

What cheating? Who wouldn't be happy to get those? They look great and are within the criteria.
