The new Bobby Socks
Who says you're ever too old for some lacy socks- or pink?
The details
Knit in fine sport weight on size 5 needles and attached to some commercially bought socks with black elastic thread. Little black ribbon bows tied into eyelets on each side for embellishment.
Talk about a quick project, this particular lace pattern is only 7-12 stitches wide. I'm pretty pleased with the results as it's more or less precisely what I was envisioning. I have some other hot pink mercerized cotton in my stash I'm already planning to make a second pair with.

Very cool! A really fast way to embellish plain socks bought from stores. Good luck on the Lace Leaf ... it is actually quite a fun knit and the pattern was well written. Blocking helps to get rid of the traces of grafting. I can't wait to see how yours come out. ;)

They are really trendy,wonder if a 41 year old could get away with wearing them?

Love the contrasts - black/pink, tough boots/feminine socks. Oh yeah, your tat rocks :)
