Inspiration from .....................
a 1970 Ford Torino???? Yep! The things I do for Honey!!!
Last week I started a pair of socks for Honey. I had some hand-spun that I wanted to use up. A nice taupe color that I got from High Prairie Fibers. And some awful Louet super-wash merino that I cussed the entire time I was spinning it. I actually like its inconsistencies, once I started knitting with it. But I will never buy super-wash roving again!!!
But I started knitting a pair of ordinary striped socks. Three taupe stripes -- one cream stripe. Then Honey suggested laser stripes......... "You know....... like on a 1970 Torino. Or a 4440 John Deere." Yea ............. I know. Sure. Gotch ya. (I don't have a clue!!!)
But I figured it out and this is what we have.
And another shot!
Socks inspired by a muscle car..................... what will be next, Big Boy???
