I finished making my socks last night. Good thing, because there's a blizzard happening outside right now. Yesterday's slush was no fun, but the snow today is beautiful. I actually can't wait to go outside and walk around in it. I'm even tempted to ambush Joe with a snowball fight when he comes home from work.
This pair of socks is made with merino wool, which is my favorite for socks because it's not itchy. Itchy socks are just the worst. These are actually red and oatmeal in color, but no matter what I do the red shows up orange on blogger.

happy feet indeed. these turned out awesome.
agh! i couldn't love these socks more!!!! seriously, i'm in love. with your socks. i'm ready to propose.
good job jenny! you're seriously inspiring me to get over my sock knitting fear.
Beautiful!! Great way to keep your feet warm!
I love them! You have gotten really good really fast. I want to knit some socks for my husband (it's our WOOL anniversary this year) but I don't know any good guy sock patterns. Any hints?
Yours are really gorgeous.

these make feet look toasty warm...love them...
Totally delicious. And don't fret, they look red on my screen.
They are the coolest socks ever! I personally love how the red comes up orange, especially with the oatmeal colour. So wish I had the patience to knit.
And I can't believe the stories of blizzards and snow and slush. I have to drive for hours just to get anywhere near the stuff in Winter.
ooo, i like the fabric you are standing on in your awesome socks....is it the same fabric that is the backdrop for the post below?? i don't know why these kind of things please me but they do!
I'm a novice knitter, I finished an infinity scarf yesterday and was going to start a pair of socks today... my only goal is that they somewhat resemble socks by the end.
agreed! the snow is lovely today :)
ps- fun socks!
I'm happy just looking at these beauties. Wish they were keeping my toes warm :)
Look great with the gray-blue stockings.

cuteness! my feet are freezing, i wish i had these to warm them up <3
amy t., the fabric is from ikea. i'm standing on a bench/stool that has been recovered in the fabric. and yes, it's the same fabric from the post below. elly and i both have the same fabric!
I think they're great and so cozy looking! Whether they're red or orange, they're awesome! Hooray for homemade socks and warm feet!

you're so quick:) did you knit them in a day?!
These socks are so adorable. All I can knit is the simplest of scarves. It's my far off dream to someday learn to knit my own socks. p.s. I love your blog :-)
nicely knitted socks jenny! it kind of reminds me of your gap cardigan in similar colors combo. can you please post the socks pattern on ravelry? hope to see more of your makings.
Those look so soft! It almost looks like you used cashmere! Don't worry it looks red on my monitor.
Wow, they're awesome! I love the colour combination! I've knit socks before, but I always have trouble with the heel.
I love it!!!!!!
I actually like the orange against the oatmeal, red or orange aside they look supercomfy!
ugh, the socks are to die for...that's the perfect color combination...the red, not the orange...but orange would work, too...
The colors remind me of the classic sock monkey, which is a very good thing in my book! (nostalgia) They are really fun! I would love a long wrap sweater in those colors.
what wonderful socks. They look so comfortable and pretty at the same time..
such a great job Jenny..
Where oh where did this pattern come from?! It's perfect.
Your socks are gorgeous! Did you use a pattern, or just make them up? I'd love to knit these. I'm so inspired! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful.
oh, IKEA fabric! I should have known....they have some awesome fabrics and i love that it's so easy to go now that they are in red hook :) They have this new line of linens called Henny which is pretty awesome...I love the blanket seen here

what? those are awesome!! I guess I never realized that one could do this so beautifully. They look great to wear, and cute! I know how to crochet, but crochet socks are always weird
Jenny Marie Gordy, those are the greatest-idea-socks I've ever seen!! I am so amazed you knitted socks; and the cleverest, coolest, most beautifully knitted socks ever. I love them because they so remind me of you...
Hi Jenny,
Would you be able to share where you got this pattern? They are so cute! you did a good job.
I recently found your blog, and first off can I just say I love it. Also, I'm a new sock knitter and these are exactly what I want to make. Did you follow a specific pattern?
