KyleAnn's Maizy Walking Socks

The pattern for these socks is here: FreeMaizySockPattern, and you may already remember that Maizy is that "amaizing" LOL new yarn by Crystal Palace yarns made with a corn (Maize) fiber.




Aren't these lovely? I think it's partly the color and partly the springy shape. I will likely knit myself a pair soon!
The design is by KyleAnn Williams, KyleAnn's blog.

pretty kitty!

I too have little snoopy kitties!

pics and great knitting here at creativepopoffs





the socks are panda cotton, and the design is quill lace.
love it!

pretty socks!

pretty socks too. they're panda wool and just a lovely colorway!
what i love about seeing socks knit up, besides the stitch patterns, is that often the yarn is even prettier on the sock than in the skein

This is an enjoyable blog to explore... wish i lived in the seattle area, as i'd love to take lessons!

Poirot Socks


I love Poirot - and wish there were some new BBC episodes!
and these socks, seem perfect for him, except the color... i do think this is not
a Hercule-approved color [surely he'd be wearing a dove grey?]

but except for that... i think they're sooooooooooooo perfectly gorgeous!!

Now, the blog is bigalice - no more pics yet... but i hope to get an update soon.

and the yarn is Maizy - www.straw.com and lots of pretty pics of yarn to see.

my confession here is that this blog and it's magnificent diversity of pics makes me wish i took more pics and blogged more. think i will try.
we have lovely snow right now.... and i've been rearranging in the house... putting a shelf up against the west windows for my plants and coming seed starts.


Anyway, these socks make me want to knit them... great knit!
