Thank you for your kind comments on the YinYang Kitty socks. Nance reminded me (as did Fletch) about the Whiskers! How could I have forgotten? I think I was just happy to have them off the needles. Well, last night I re-did the eyes on the dark kitty - much improved. And I added whiskers to both:
Now I love them! The yellow eyes are just a duplicate stitch over the green (knitted) eyes that did not show up very well. For anyone considering knitting this pattern I recommend that you do the eyes and nose as duplicate stitches rather than intarsia. If/when I make these again that is how I will do them. I was thinking these would make cute slipper socks in a heavier yarn. Just an idea.
I mentioned that Fletch and I are planning our Fall camping trip. That will be at the beginning of October - heading up to New England and going along the coast of NH and ME, then back down to CT and the Woodstock area of NY. And, my annual Sisters' Weekend is now set for the 24-27 of October. Yesterday I booked my flights. Excited!!! We will be back in Providence, RI so we can see Mom (my friend Leslie's Mom). I've already bought some "for coming" gifts...need/want to get a couple more things for Mom.
We are expecting some heavy rain later today - I've been receiving texts and email alerts about possible flooding. Hoping I can escape the workplace before the deluge happens! Wishing you all a wonderful day.
Those socks! So adorable! And, what fun to have some travels coming up! (and it seems like all our rains are of the deluge kind these days...stay safe!)
ReplyDeleteAh, that's better! Your fall camping trip should be wonderful - cool weather and beautiful foliage. Something to look forward to! Stay dry this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are just the cutest! XO Your upcoming trips sound wonderful -- and will be especially nice with the cooler fall weather. Stay dry!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think they could get cuter but they did!!!
ReplyDeleteNow they are REALLY done! And look truly like kitties. What fun!
ReplyDeleteYour trips sound like real Fall pleasures. I know you'll enjoy them. And seeing friends and family will be comforting and a good time.
Hope you can dodge the raindrops today. We're getting rain as well. And we really do need it.
I love those socks, and yes, they would be particularly good for slipper socks!
ReplyDeleteI loved them before but now I really love them!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are perfect now! The whiskers make a huge difference and I thought they were cute before.
ReplyDeleteYour upcoming trip sounds like fun. Dennis and I just booked our hotel rooms for our trip to Omaha next month and have our housesitter all lined up. Exciting times!
Blessings,
Betsy
Adorable socks!!! I am in fall trip planning mode, too! I love having a trip (or two) to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteI adore those kitty socks, good job! It sounds like you have some fun adventures all set up. We're going to our family lake this weekend, just a short visit, but it will be nice to see it again. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice on the socks-thank you for forging the way for us!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you to have a nice trip planned!
