Socks of Doom Marching On
Originally uploaded by wavybrains.
Despite the technical difficulties with Sock Wars, the actual knitting was a lot of fun. A pair of socks in a weekend? Auntie is in love. These were so much fun to knit. Click to see more pictures!
Here is the note Auntie enclosed for her victim:
Congrats Sock Warrior, Weasley Mom,
You have been killed by Auntie Esq!
Your socks of doom are worked according to the
Sock Wars Pattern, and to US Women’s Size 10.
The Plymouth Galway Wool is hand-dyed by Auntie
in a colorway she calls “blue lagoon.” This 100% wool
is handwash, cool water ONLY.
Alternatively, felt or shrink the socks to nice slipper
socks for a child.
These socks were knit at our dog park, on a drive to Hood
River, Oregon (and back home via Flashlight!), while
listening to the book “A Changed Man,” and during
several good meals. Auntie had a lot of fun doing sock wars
and hopes you enjoy your new socks!
They look great! Now you have to finish the socks she was knitting, right? You'll be the winner, but you'll have carpel tunnel!

This socks are so pretty. Great job. Maybe it is just my over-taxed brain but the Sock Wars seem to have complicated rules.
How is your foot doing?
