Did someone say socks?
Oh My God. I want one!
Sock Peacock by Felt Up Designs
Did someone say socks? TAKE TWO!
Look what I won! All that gorgeous SILK! It's pretty funny really. Danielle was looking for sock patterns - JAYWALKERS need not apply. So I sent her a link to the Acorn Socks I knit last summer for SockapalTWOza. She loved them and I won! Thank you Danielle! I hope you love knitting the socks as much as I did!
PS - Thanks to Jasmin. I saw the contest link on her blog when I was trolling for Jaywalker updates! By the way, Jasmin has a gorgeous blog. You must check it out.
PPS - Danielle is holding another contest! She wants hat patterns, with lots of hand dyed angora to give away!

That is so freaking cool! And sister, when you take the blog back, you *take* the blog back!

I need one! I want one! I deserve one (or two)! But I can't afford one;-)

That is too cool but I'm cracking up over the name of the company(I think I need to get my mind out of the gutter ;))

Nope Kim, that's the first thing I thought too.
Nifty toy though.

You're just surfin' the internets today, aren't you? Can't you see that baby loaded up with your STR Jaywalker socks? It would rival any real peacock...
Thanks for the grin.

cheers.

And here I was just thinking that I needed some plain ol' sock blockers. This beats the heck out of that any day.

The sock peacock is hysterical! Congrats on your win. :)

Hey, that thing looks cool. I just finished my first pair of Jaywalkers.

Oh my gosh! I just checked in on my blog. Thanks for the links :)

Good for you, Cara! I'm happy for you! You give so much stuff away and are so generous, it's about time you won something! Enjoy the silk!

OMG that is too cute! What a perfect place to disply all those single socks - and a good excuse to only knit 1...hehee.

Nice win!

way to go! now stop sending me links to kick ass blogs - my list is already overwhelming me!!!!
Posted by: anne at February 4, 2006 11:45 AM
I have to admit, Cara, that when I started to read this on bloglines (it doesn't show the picture) I thought we wear all moving on to another beloved sock pattern and I was afraid to be left alone with my jaywalkers! :)
That sock peacock is wonderful! So original!

You have to have one of those, if only to pose several socks that rock on it...dude, that would be one hell of a gorgeous peacock!

hey ---- I am having a brain storm over here. what if we took one of those wooden artist's posable models, added the wooden sock blockers and fashioned ourselves some Mummers??
Posted by: ann at February 6, 2006 02:26 PM
