is it? are they? no, they couldn't be!

A few days ago I finished a pair of socks that I can't quite show off just yet. But as soon as I was done I casted on a pair of infant socks for Kailey. I though heelless socks would be a good idea for her, so she wouldn't be able to grow out of them anytime (real) soon. I grabbed my Knitting Vintage socks book and casted on 36 stitches, 2 1/2 pattern repeats latter I casted off these bad boys:

Stats:

Pattern- based on the Heelless sleeping socks in Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush

Yarn- Socks that Rock in boysenberry

Needles- Inox US 2 dpns set

Gauge- umm... I really should just remove this...

Started- April 8, 2007

Finished- April 9, 2007

Notes- Even though they will fit her for a long time, they cant' stand up to her wild kicking for very long! I also think they look a little stupid with out a heel.

Now tell me something....

do these socks really look like baby socks? or something else? Like maybe *cough*weewillywarmers*cough*?

They are too cute! Are the gummy rubber frogs guarding the wee willie warmers for a reason? or are they on a mission to knock them down?

Ewww, you put wee willie warmers on your baby's feet?!

Very cute baby socks! Who needs heels on babies???

Posted by: Elinor | 04/13/2007

LOL, a much too girly color for a willie warmer.

Those socks look so cuddly. Good job!

Knit on!

Cute little socks. Your too funny. :)

Oh that is too funny, they do look like weewilliewarmers. I have to go to a wedding soon, do you think it is in bad taste to knit one for the groom....hehe

HA!!! I'm still laughing over the "weewillywarmers"!! That was awesome!!! I think the socks are adorable - what a beautiful color!! And such a beautiful pair of tiny feet wearing them ;-)

Very cute, ahhh, socks? Bet no guy would admit they would fit!

WillieWarmer. I agree with Cayli. I actually had a friend request a handknit williewarmer. He wasn't a great friend, so I was thinking about making it in the scratchiest wool I could find, before I simply declined.

I nearly spit coffee all over the monitor. Wee willy warmers. You have a very sick mind. Perverted. It's so sad. That's why they are ribbed for her pleasure!
