Yarn: Panda Cotton Print in color Roses
Pattern: I searched on "rose socks" and found these, Ann Budd's pattern, which inspired me
Recipient: the same sister who loves Dr. Jones, so we'll call her J *
I loved the yarn, and the pattern. I thought it would look good in a solid color too (like these do), but that hasn't worked out yet.
The story of how these socks came to be is on its way to becoming a family legend. My sister-in-law misunderstood something J said, and asked me about the socks I was making. At that point I didn't know I was making socks for J, but if she thought I was, I'd better (because I still owed her a bear, you see, and was hoping to distract her). Eventually the miscommunication was unraveled, but by that time the socks were on the needles, and I was still looking for a distraction.
*I'm against naming names in a blog to respect people's privacy, but I have eight sisters - it's either label them or number them.

Oooo! Ooooo! I can't wait to see my label!
Oh, wait. It'll probably be something dull. Like "S." Since we have no other esses in the family that I can recall offhand.
I just got caught up on your blog, and the Panda's too! Now it's time to make muffins.
p.s. Beautiful socks!!!
I think the socks came out beautifully. And you can always name me if you want. My name is on my blog anyhow.
I am the sister-in-law that completely messed up what J said. Though on the plus side, J has discovered the beauty of hand knit socks which may be dangerous. *grin*
I like the Panda bamboo. I should pick up some more. Though they are summer socks for me. I probably won't wear the black pair I made until it gets warmer.
