The new Bobby Socks

| 6 Comments
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 :)

Cute idea, and they look great on you. I may try this for my daughter.

Now that's what I call hot legs!!! Those are such hot pink socks there are flames shooting up your legs!! Beautiful.

You are welcome. You know what would be cool? Wear long pants with those socks and on the flame leg, cut one pantleg to just above the flames and actually put burn marks on it! It would draw attention and be a conversation starter! ..And post a picture, just for fun. And hey, you might start a new fashion trend! Maybe you could find socks with flames!!:)
