prepster
Monday, July 16, 2007 I ordered this yarn from Scout back in February. It was a custom order for Libby who wanted socks in pink, green and yellow. Her favorite colors.
So, the cold feet, are now covered. Finally.
I don't know why, but I had the hardest time working on these. Maybe it was the 2x2.
Libby adores them, and already has in mind how she will wear them.
They will certainly be a welcome addition to her fall wardrobe.
Pattern: On-your -toe socks from summer 2007 Interweave Knits:
Yarn: one skein Prepster, scouts swag
Needles: size 3 double pointed
Notes: First time working from the toe up. It took me two hours to figure out how to do the
middle east wrap method!

Cute cute cute! I love these socks... especially with the boots. They look like futuristic converse sneakers. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Fab socks!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! The yarn colors are very nice. I guess it is time to start thinking about fall wardrobes. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteI love the socks! and the photography shows them off so perfectly. They look great with all of the shoes :)
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable...I love them with the green high tops and the boots both! :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! They are going in my queue!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable. Libby is just so fashionable (She must get it from her mom)! I love those colors too - great job.
ReplyDeleteAs everyone before me (and certainly after as well), I have to echo the sentiment that these are too freakin' cute!! My daughter would love them too, and I CANNOT believe that it only took one skein of Scout's! I have three skeins in my stash to use up... Do I have toe-ups in my future?! Oh wait, I might even have some sKNITches that daughter's picked out!
ReplyDeleteI made your gingersnaps this weekend - I needed a little holiday spirit, I guess - they're the best gingers I've had. My kids adored them.
Those are so cute. THey look great with the boots!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great socks! Love them with those boots too.
ReplyDeleteOh Man, those are awesome! Truly are!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a sock knitter but I think I better start because I'd love socks like these!
Thanks,

OK. All the adjectives that spring to mind have been used so let's have a go at brilliant, magnificent, and delightfully effervescent!
ReplyDeleteDiggin' the photo shoot showcase too.
An appropriate name since it did seem to keep you on your toes. They are really nice socks and I absolutely love the colourway. Libby has some snazzy footwear too.
ReplyDeleteWow - great socks and pictures! I like the one where she's stepping up on her toes.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are adorable but the green high tops are way cool!
ReplyDeleteOh, I tried that wrap method yesterday at the pool. I darn near flung it in the water. Back to top down for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThose socks came out just fabulously! They are certainly her colors and look great with the boots or the sneaks. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty fantastic :)
ReplyDeletewow! these are SOOOO cute, and I love them with those brown boots of hers! 2x2 is hard, especially with these being so tall... but they look FAB U LOUS!

ReplyDeleteooooooh. My heart did a little flutter thing at the site of those socks. They are fabulous- and I want them.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are of the catalog quality... I need to stay away from your blog... it makes me want things I can't have.
The socks look great! I really like that colorway. I have never tried toe up socks because I'm a bit scared of the cast on.
ReplyDeleteNice shoes Libby!! Love the green hightops.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I need to try that toe-up pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! Glad to know there's enough yarn with that yardgae to knit knee highs for a girl.

ReplyDeleteThey look great! I love the colors Libby chose!! And those green converse rock!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are adorable. They are perfect for those sneakers AND boots.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to conquer socks. They look so tedious, and I'm afraid that I will get hopelessly lost in them. But, those are so cute (and I especially love Libby's choice in sneakers.)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and love the socks.
ReplyDeletegreat yarn! lucky legs to wear such cute sox!!
ReplyDeletePlease tell your daughter that she has wonderful taste in footwear--I love the boots and the converse. Oh yes, the socks are quite nice too!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! How lovely to have a child with such flair for fashion. Enjoy the benfits. As for the middle eastern cast on, it took me for ever to get that down also. Finally found a great one at Hello Yarn.
ReplyDeleteSo cute the pair of socks.I love the last photo the socks match with boots.
