Bless her little cotton socks

You don’t have to tell me.  It is crazy to be knitting white cotton socks.  But honestly, these are just shorty ankle socks and take up about two or three evenings each in front of the TV, so why not?
I thought you might be amused with some of my outtakes from when I was trying to get a photo of these socks.  After all, really, how hard could it be, propping the camera on a small pile of books, and simply putting the feet in front… it’s not like I have to worry about a bad hair day or a weird facial expression or anything.  But I didn’t count on the determined stealth attack of this creature, desperate for a little quality one-on-one time with the household provider of all things good and fishy…  and she will not be denied her stab at supermodel-dom…

  1. Yes, yes yes, you should post some photos of stuff you made for your kids! Except, if you are like me, all the photos more than 8 or so years old are non-digital and not so easy to upload …

    Cute socks! I like how the cotton yarn allows us to see your shaping. Bet they are comfy. Your cat is funny. I often have outtakes where goose insists on standing in front of me and mugging for the camera …

  2. Nice socks, funny cat. She cracked me up.

  3. Oh Carolyn, I'm so impressed! I want to do this so bad and have even tried. Too time consuming and too much going on to concentrate.

    Maybe some day. I LOVE these socks!
