Lizard sock revealed
Because my foot has the flu, Big Doll has agreed to model the lizard sock for you.
Why am I calling it the lizard sock? Because my foot has the flu, the sock has agreed to model itself in a close-up.
There are reptilian spines all along the cuff. Six of em. They amuse me to no end. It was really hard to take a picture where you could see them at all. The yarn is so busy that the colors swallow everything else in photographs. As I knit the sock, it started to remind me of a lizard I had when I was a kid and so... Well, there you go. The mystery top is a turn-down cuff with lizard spikes. Hope it wasn't too anticlimactic for you.
Now I need to make the second one quickly, because I smile every time I try on this first sock. Luckily I'm feeling well enough to knit today. Thanks so much for your well wishes, and to everyone else who is also sick, get better soon!

The yarn is delicious!
Love the happy lizard sock! And glad you're feeling well enough to knit. Now you can stay in bed, guilt free because you are sick, and knit all day and night!

You should start a reptile-along....
It's a good thing Big Doll stepped in. We wouldn't want to get any flu on the socks now would we :) The top is so cute, and perfect too! There do seem to be a bunch of sickies lately huh? I'm sending wellness vibes your way.
Posted by: VickiWe hope you feel better soon, too!
Great lizard sock! hee hee hee!
Awesome! I love the spikes. I'm glad you're feeling better!
Posted by: Jenngreat socks! nice model.
Posted by: lynetteBe careful, foot, to not come in too close contact with the sock. We would hate to start an epidemic of Sock Flu. The Great Outbreak of Sock Flu of '59 still burns in my memory.
Posted by: NormaExtremely reptilian.
Posted by: claudiaI truly have sock envy. If I could knit only one thing in the world well and with some degree of success it would be a pair of socks. Not ONE, but a PAIR. Thanks for the inspiration :) Get better!
Posted by: amywonderful that the knitting vibes are back and what a really cool sock, you may need some of those see through shoes so everyone can see you amazing socks when you wear them
very cool!!
I love lizardy things...
Big Doll Rocks! As does the sock. Those colors are fantastic! Glad to hear you're on the mend -- at least well enough to knit. It stinks to be so sick that knitting seems tough.
Posted by: AnnDude. Big Doll is totally stylin' in the sock. I hope you are feeling better soon ... it seems to be going around!
Posted by: Carriecari, hope you're feeling much better today and get that second sock done today! i love your new year's knee socks, by the way! xo kaarin
Posted by: kaarinWith such a sock to keep it cozy, I'm sure your foot will be over the flu in no time. Glad you're feeling better. Now get busy with the second sock!
Posted by: DavidI hope you feel better soon! I can see the spines on the sock better in the mirror than on the sock :)
And I think I'm making a scarf that is your socks cousin, it's the same bright green that the sock has in it, and is a color called bug.
It's the bug the lizard caught ;)
Posted by: Ambercool sock. those fantastic colors are running that flu away. glad you're feeling better.
Posted by: froggyWhat a great sock! If you can knit that nicely, you must be feeling better.
Posted by: naomiFantastic lizard sock! I love the colours and wonder what the number is. Melted crayon colour would be perfect to heat up the frigid temps here.
Take care of your flu, and don't let Baby Doll catch it. Nothing worse than sick feet, and sick dolls! Above all, stay warm!
