Sock Hunter Episode 8: Minty Fresh
August 24, 2007 by knitterbunny
After several days of studiously looking for a new pair of socks, I was starting to doubt my abilities. There comes a time in every sock hunter’s career when he ability to find socks starts to decline. I was afraid my time had come. Luckily, I was wrong as not thirty seconds later I spotted a pair of mint loving *Stansfield 304 socks. I should have never doubted myself on this issue.
Isn’t this pair particularly lovely? Much like the butterflies and bees happily flitting about the mint flowers, this pair of socks is always drawn to the enticing scent of mint. They played gaily among the leaves and disturbed many a tiny butterfly and bee with their frolicking.
Sadly, this pair wasn’t content with the meager mint in the run-down garden and moved on with hours of my discovering them.
Until next time, this is the Sock Hunter, signing off.
*Stansfield 304 pattern in More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch, knit on size 2 Brittany birch DPN, in Fleece Artist Basic Merino in the Forest colorway
Oh yeah - Fleece Artist. Anything knit with FA is destined to be wonderful.
Those are gorgeous …wonderful matching of yarn and pattern!
Oooo more socks in the wild. They are very lovely.
Oh so very lovely, and camoflouged.
Those ones actually blend in the best of any of the socks you’ve “hunted” I think. I love them! But then again, green’s my favorite color!
They are absolutely gorgeous!!!
Those are *totally* gorgeous!
oh pretty! If you have lean mint this year just wait…it’ll take over your life if you let it ;o)
Beautiful socks!
mmmmmmmmmmmm Minty! Those are a very fresh specimen, indeed!
