Next I’ll Craft Myself a Cape

| 2 Comments

I supposed I must be in a crafty mood because in addition to sewing myself a couple of monogram pillows, I also knitted myself some socks.

Well, not really socks. More like sock dickies. Faux socks.

In my travels through Pinterest I’ve noticed “all the cool kids” are wearing big, chunky socks with their tall boots. But I have calves that are roughly the circumference of a small planet, which means that stuffing chunky socks inside my boots is not an option. Instead, I decided to invent fake sock tops to peek out of my boots.

Like so:

Here is what they look like OFF of my leg:

See what I mean? They’re sock dickies!

I’m very proud of myself, can’t you tell?

  1. Aren’t you the cutest thing?!?

  2. I love them! you’ve almost inspired me to learn how to knit (last time I tried, I discovered that I have zero patience).
