I guess I read a little too much Elizabeth Barrett Browning when I was an impressionable young teenager, because “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” came to mind when I was looking at the beginnings of these socks, No Purl Monkeys in KnitPicks Felici (colorway positively pink, as if they had to say that). So let me go ahead, then, and count the ways:

I love thee for thy bright pinkness

p!i!n!k!

I love thee for the pleasure of dpns and clever-feeling fingers

love the dpns

I love thee for thy springy feeling

springy pinky wonder

I love thee for the one who will wear these when I finish

PLUS: I bought a new mattress! Yippee! Hallelujah! Boy did I need one, that’s all I’m saying about that.

  1. Yeah, I love Elizabeth Barrett Browning too. And I think those socks look really lovable. Not just pink, but multiple shades of pink! So cool.
