Socks in progress:
At this point in the construction, Matter-Eater Lad decided that these socks look very much like something Aquaman would wear. I was amused, but not as much as he was. He proceeded to ask for an orange sweater in this stitch pattern so that he could look like Aquaman. I said no, because I am not doing that much work for something I know he would never wear.
Finished socks:
I very much like how they came out. I will have to knit some for myself once I finish my sister's wedding veil. Which will go faster once I have started knitting my sister's wedding veil. I may have started a simple pair of stockinette socks while I am waiting . . . .

I wouldn't thing the sweater would be that bad. . . But Aquaman (as opposed to the Marvel equivalent) also has leggings. Besides, who would want to knit a speedo? However, if you made it, I suspect you could force MEL to wear it and then post pictures. :)
I think I need a glossary to read your blog.DPN???
Double-pointed Needles.
He would wear it, like, once. So that's not happening. Maybe I'll make him an orange hat. I might be able to get him to wear that.
Argh. I. Am. Trying. I. Swear.
I love you, I do, and I want this to work, I do.
Oh, that was *not* meant as a jibe. It really wasn't. Please don't take it that way.
It's not you. I'm on my last push, which seems to coincide with my last wind. Sheesh. Comapred to this the wedding is going to be so much less stress that it'll be amazingly fun. Which will actually be a nice side effect of this insanity :D
And again with the lovely sock modeling-it's getting more sophisticated now. We have a peekaboo section where you can see PART of the secret foot bits, (but not that so Victorian of holy-of-holies, the Ankle) and then the modest section, but with the elegant ball-of-the-foot posing.
Nice. The knitting needles even add a subtle S&M flavor to the whole affair.
~realizing that I'm writing too many comments, not caring, and picturing SWMBO stridently disagreeing with a heel.~
Yes, I think that covers it!
"secret foot bits?"
Bwwaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!
*collapses into a laughing heap*
I'm so going to try and work that into every conversation from now on. And what a shame that I can't try and use it as a pick up line. I mean, if one's going to get shot down anyway, might as well have fun.
*sidles up to hot blonde at bar*
"Hey, baby. Wanna see my secret foot bits?"
ROTFLMMFAO!
~bowing deeply~ Thank you.
Ah, yes. And I ended up laughing all over again. Not to mention the laugh I got after my coworker gave me an odd look when I asked about her secret foot bits (she's got a good sense of humor. Thank gods or I might be in jail. . .)
Secret foot bits? It sounds like a discarded Monty Python sketch. Although the photo does look like something Terry Gilliam would have drawn.
May I focus the attention of the group back on the knitting needles/S&M accessories? What did SWMBO's feet do to get put in a fashion accessory that looks like it should be a medieval torture device?
Bad, wicked, naughty evil foot. It's been setting light the castle beacon. . .
:)
A thorough spanking should be administered. And when you're finished with the foot, you must...spank me. (~heard in the background~ "and me!" "ooohh, and me!!!!" "me next!")
. . .
I'm just going to wave to that one as it passes by. . .
meanwhile I'm just waiting for SWMBO to recover from the huddled ball of laughter she is currently in on the floor by her monitor and weigh in on this conversation :D
...I'm sensing that she may have something to say about exposing one's Ankles.
Ankles?
*gasp*
Next you'll be talking about wantonly letting one's hair down!
(to continue the Victorian theme.)
Or *shudder* leaving the stockings/skirts off the table legs!
Okay. We may not hear from SWMBO for a while now. I think I just heard one of her rib muscles snap from the constant laughter. Apparently I have very good hearing recently.
It is shocking, however, when I visit a house where the host is scandalous enough not to have a tablecloth that reaches to the floor. Its as if they WANT to encourage iniquity!
Maybe she's just too busy rolling her eyes at us?
Whaaaaaaat? Just because we are exploring the deep and lasting eroticism of green socks?
Why would that make SWMBO's eyes roll...oh, wait. Nevermind.
Well.
So much for wearing green socks every again. . . Luckily it wasn't a very common sock color in my wardrobe anyway.
