Tagsshe knits!
Look, I didn’t completely forget. I bought this yarn with Pam back in April, and I think not too long after that I cast on for these. I truly do not remember, and for some reason I didn’t blog about it or make any notes whatsoever. I’m going to have to count the stitches around the toe to figure out what the heck I did when I go to make the second sock!
I had planned to knit until the brown ran out–I have two skeins of brown and one of blue, so I worked up a pattern that was essentially 2:1 brown to blue. I want very badly to use up all the yarn, but the socks are nearly TOO tall at this point! They’re almost embarrassing to pull out of my bag on the bus. It’s time to do a cuff and call the first one done.

Gorgeous! I love the blue and brown combo.
Oh, they’re perfect! Blue cuff, I hope?
I really need to knit me some stripey knee socks.
Wow, that is a LOT of sock – but it’s amazing! I love the color combination as well. Good luck with the second sock!
I’m laughing at the vision of you pulling out a sock on the bus, and the sock is so long that it rolls down the aisle… hee hee! Love that color combination.
WOW, it’s looking sooo awesome!
Geez, and I thought you were tall from your photo with Jennie! From the looks of this sock you must be about 3 metres tall!
I love the way the sock looks too!!
The color combo is beautiful!
I love the pic – I have visions of you laying, all contorted, on the floor with your foot up on a wall so that you have a nice clean background for the shot. The lengths we go to for good blog material.
Ooooh and a fab pic of it too! I keep meaning to make knee socks. Still haven’t gotten to it yet.
These are great! and so chic with the brown and blue color combination. Quite lovely, my friend.
What a great color combo! That blue looked lighter in the April pic. I like it this way! Don’t you hate examining your 1st sock when working on your second? Every time I make a pair, I tell myself I won’t do that but it never works. I always use my 1st sock template!!!
Yes, brown and blue are the most unstoppable color combo ever…leave it to Minty to have the unbeatable style quotient once again!
Gosh, I wish my legs were that long! The sock is lovely.
Blue and brown is one of my favorite color combinations. I also love sassy knee socks. They look fab.

what a great color combo and a nice way to jazz up a simple sock pattern!
I love the the colors and that is certainly a long sock!
So pretty! I love the colors.
Wow, those are gorgeous! I love the colour combo and they look so comfy and stylish at the same time.
Fabulous…….that is my favorite color combo!
Everyone else has already said it, but: Great colour combo!
I, too, heart the brown+blue, yum!
OK, clearly I’m not the only one, but light blue and dark brown is one of my absolute favorites.
And as for length… better too much yarn than too little, right?
yummy sock!!!!
Great photo! I really like the brown/blue combination.
I think I’m in love. With the socks, that is.
This is so lovely! So, so lovely!!!
That is such a cooool sock – good luck figuring out #2
ooooh, the sock is fabulous! although, on me that sock would be like up to my unmentionables… stupid short legs
i swear, even when i write things down the first time, i always misplace them by the time i’m starting the second anyway. ahh well :-)
great color combo – great perspective on the photo!
Those are some gorgeous socks! I might have to try making something similar for this year’s Socktoberfest!
Love the perspective of this shot! You could just keep going and make thigh-highs…
I love the comination of brown and blue. I also love socks–so yes, I love these socks…they seem to go on forever!
awe…some sock! Love the color combination.
excellent shot and a fine sock!
lovely sock. love the great brown/blue color combo.
I like the idea of you getting out that sock and it just unrolling off your lap and onto the floor and out the bus door or something while you knit merrily and unconcernedly away. Probably humming to yourself.
Let me not neglect to say that it is an awesome sock.
