i began my pair of turkish bed socks (rav pattern link) copying claire because she was making a pair and i wanted some for myself. so it seems only fitting that i end this project copying claire with a tribute to her completely charming photo shoot.
i'm totally in love with these socks. i've been wearing them around the house almost constantly since finishing them (usually over another pair of longer socks so my ankles/calves stay warm).
i had a couple thoughts while lying in bed having brian take pictures of my socks, (a) my bedding is no where near as coordinated as claire's, and (b) it sure is hard to stage a photo shoot involving bed covers without getting some assistance from kitten.
claire - was lama as helpful as peapod?

You are so cute! I love your tribute and I love your socks!
And I am so glad you mentioned how you keep your ankles warm. That was the one question I had about these lovely socks.

I love the socks, but the photo tribute to Claire is even more fabulous. You are too cute! And I love the pic with peapod helping!

Oh peapod is cute! do you really wear these to bed? Or just as slippers?

You can always trust a cat to get in on the act! Great socks and photos. Thanks for letting me know about the difficulties leaving a message on my blog. I have no idea why that should be!

oh i am so honored! and so is georg! what a fun fun post! you are too adorable.
unfortunately lama wasn't helpful at all when it came to the photo shoot over here, which is surprising actually because usually whenever a camera comes out, he comes running.
i can't believe you're still calling peapod a kitten though- she's enormous!
LOVE your post. LOVE you!
