Odd Socks

 When knitting for a 10 year-olds upcoming birthday,
you don't necessarily have to follow the rules or have things match!
 So I put aside my A-type personality,
which likes things "just so" sometimes
And embraced the fun side of these socks,
that I am sure my oldest daughter will just love!
Her sister "approves" of mom's choice of blue and lime green too.
I am thinking it should be a good birthday present!

SO cute! I love how they're mismatched yet purposeful so that they don't feel wild.

I approve of the blue and lime green as well! I'm heading over to Ravelry right now to see what pattern you used - I'm looking do knit some socks soon and I love these :)

she's going to love them. They mismatch in a very matching sort of way. Very nice!

I can just imagine your struggle as you knit these!!! "A type" personality....really? I never would have known!
