The Real Grouch
Scott and I were walking past the yarn store and of course we had to stop in. He saw this yarn still in the box, and immediately asked for socks! How could I resist!? Eleven days later I present, Oscar the Grouch Socks....
And why Oscar the Grouch? Well, the colors definitely reminded me of Oscar. But, it goes a bit further than that... For those of you who know Scott, you probably are laughing right now! He tends to be a bit negative and grouchy sometimes. He also loved Oscar the Grouch when he was little. So, here is the real grouch and my grouch trying to compare.
The real grouch....

Too cute--I love that your guy ASKS for knitted things and is clearly so psyched to have them.
Hilarious! Your post and pictures really made me smile, and the socks are great.
I love the Grouch! Too cute.
I am loving the colorway, so you planning on expanding in the Sesame Street colorways too? I've always been partial to Elmo. LOL! ;)
Did you make up the pattern?
That is a funny picture. So green, so grouch-like. :)
Great socks! What fun! What is the yarn?
Great photo! I can see the resemblance. What is that yarn? I cannot recall seeing that shade of green anywhere...
Oscar the Grouch was always my favorite too. and green is my favorite color. Love that green yarn. Please tell..what is it. Nice pattern. I think you need to tell us more. :)

"Oh....I love trash.
Anything dirty, or dingy or dusty..."

"Looks like rain."

LOOOOVE the green! Oscar the Grouch was my favorite too :)
Nice socks! I've read your blog before but someone just posted about your yarns on our snb site and said that you're a Boulder native! (I live in Louisville, essentially the place that Boulder expatriates go to) My husband is from Mass, too. :) Take care! http://jeniferknits.blogdrive.com
