jolly hockey socks, take four

My latest sKNITches socks, this time knit in Nest Egg, usually a variegated colorway, which Sam custom-dyed for me in stripes:

While we've been awakened by exuberant bird song every morning this week, we've yet to see a single nest or egg in Teddington. But today Miranda, Donna, and I spied a crate of the most exquisite praline chocolate eggs in Marylebone,

which reminded me that soon it'll be time to dye eggs too--in Nest Egg blue of course!

    I have been sorely tempted by the very same eggs - I think it's the packaging that gets me!

    And your stripes line up again! This is a source of constant wonder to me - I am quite sure I'll never achieve it.

    I have all manner of nesting going on in the garden so am hoping there must be eggs too.

    Those praline eggs are too good to eat!

    I think the socks look perfect! You were very strong willed to resist those eggs.

    so neat and perfectly knit... perfect for wellies and cows-looking-after perhaps?

    ... you fast knitter you... (should still hurt... getting VERY frustrated here)

    Lovely socks.... those eggs look mighty expensive. Personally I'm a fan of the Lindt bunny!
    Happy nearly Easter!
