ok so i got a little carried away with the camera.
get over it.
they're pretty.
i'm loving the pattern.
mock croc socks off knitpicks.
free.
pattern.
what more can you ask for?
and i know alligators and crocodiles are different beasties but i figured

and it is florida for crissakes :)

oh you want to actually see the socks.
well ok if you insist.



isn't that what your knitting looks like when it has been abandoned for other less interesting things? crumpled.

i just have to draw your attention to that perfect hourglass heel.
i think this one has turned out nicer than any of the others so far.
that makes me happy.
tidy knitting does.
ok i just can't bear it any longer.
i'm going back to knit!
