First let me thank everyone for all of the lovely birthday wishes yesterday! Though I can’t help thinking that the best thing about turning 50 is that it’s better than the alternative…
But one bright thing about my birthday was that I finished the Austermann Step socks! And I also cast on for yet another pair of socks for DH. Seems that perhaps someone’s sock mojo has decided to hang out at my place for a while.
But the question burning in my mind is, would it be evil of me to flaunt the stolen sock mojo along with my blooming lilacs?
Pattern: My own – just basic stockinette socks. Eye of partridge heel, star toe, and 2×2 ribbing at the cuff. I started with 64 sts at the cuff, but decreased to 60 when doing the gusset.
Yarn: Austermann Step, colorway 10 – a gift from Carrie from her blog contest. Thanks Carrie!
Needles: US 1.5 (2.5mm)

Cute socks! But dang… blooming anything?! Heck, I just want leaves…
Oh! Happy Belated Birthday! Lovely socks!! I think it may be okay to flaunt stolen mojo… although it may lead to your mojo being stolen. I haven’t quite figured out how the mojo stealing works.
If you figure it out, please let us know! 🙂
Don’t question the mojo – just go with it! Lovely socks and flowers…
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday as well! Your socks are pretty. 🙂
Nice socks. Love the lilacs!
Insert knife; turn.

Happy birthday!
I can’t believe you have lilacs already blooming!! Are you sure you are living in Utah?
Happy Birthday!
And look at you with the matchy-matchy socks! Rock on!
I love that sock yarn. Very pretty and they make very cute socks!
