  1. Yikes. A spate of spam has hit your commenting window.

    Those kitty toes are making me very, very happy. I know I was supposed to be looking at the socks, but…

    Kitty toes. Nuff said.

  2. Such pretty socks – and I, too, love your model! The ear says “I think she just put something on my butt, but I’m too comfortable to move, so I will pretend not to notice.” (Or am I reading too much into an ear?)

  3. heh Oscar. Pretty socks! I knit one of those once (in that pattern, I mean). It was too small and no longer exists. I might make another one some day that’s the right size. We’ll see. heh

    So when is your little Tootle Fruitle supposed to arrive? I can’t remember and Alison said on her blog you’re about to pop! I can’t believe it’s THAT soon! Didn’t you just tell us yesterday?

  4. Hahaha, lovely socks. I’m tempted to say ‘fucking fascinating!’, but honestly, they are lovely socks.

  5. Can you still see your feet? Those will be warm and toasty in the delivery room and give the nurses something to talk about 🙂

  11. This post is could be on: stuffonmycat.com Yes, I am easily amused. I know you’re not *quite* the cat geek I am. But anyone who gives their cat dialogue is close enough, in my book.
    And, pretty socks! Cari colors.

  12. Aw, you made socks with yarn I gave you! So those are, like, MY socks! No, I know they’re yours. They’re very pretty. Now I’m wishing I’d gone with STR this month. I may just.

  13. Ooooh, pretty socks! I have The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles on my shelves somewhere around here, as yet unread, but Murakami definitely has skills. How are you feeling? I’ve been having some pre-term labor signs but not enough to alarm anyone. Taking it easy. Can you believe we’re going to be moms in about 7 weeks?

  14. Hey! I’m knitting those myself but I’m making the leg part a bit long. How much yarn did you end up using?

  15. As I clicked onto your blog this morning I didn’t see the entry at first, just the photo and since I’d done 4 Cascading Leaves repeats last night I knew what these were before reading about them! Isn’t that pattern a breeze? I love it.

  16. Lovely socks. You do realize that the pooches will now be wanting you to knit socks in their colorways.

  25. Cari, I lost your e-mail address. Someone in my company sent us an e-mail about an Italian Greyhound that needs a new home – maybe not necessarily for you, but maybe for someone you know, or maybe you even know the owners …

    anyway, I don’t know how to forward the e-mail directly to you –

    please advise, and happy pregnancy,
