I recently discovered this pattern, designed by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. It occurred to me that a bunch of the KIPsters could make these socks and wear them when Stephanie visits Wichita. I can see it now, all of us gathered together in the midst of the other 300 people there to see the Yarn Harlot. Oh, but how will she know we're wearing her socks? I guess we'll all have to synchronously stand on our heads and wiggle our feet. But, then the tulips would be upside down . . .In other news, I'm about halfway done with my second Monkey sock. I haven't been able to take any pictures all week because my camera has been traveling in California. She returns today.
When I finish this Monkey sock, I will continue working on the toe-up socks I started for the local sock class recently. The colorway doesn't seem to have a name, just a number, 5440, or something like that. I call it Strawberry Parfait. I don't know what I'm going to wear them with.
I recently purchased a pair of pants to go with the Monkey socks. I'm not sure what the actual color of them is, but I call them dark khaki. They don't exactly match the brown in the sock yarn, but I think it'll work. I looked through all of my blue tops and found one that I think matches best. I call it periwinkle, but others call it purple. So, we'll see how this non-matching outfit works.

Tulip socks huh? Hmm. You should post this to the message board and see what the group thinks about doing something like that - I think it's a pretty cool idea! If not this, then something to unify us.
Love them -- count me in!
