When we first started this blog, I thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be cool if we could post a pattern for pink argyle socks knitted in the round ... I've never seen hand-knitted argyle socks that didn't have a seam up the back." (Well, there might be a reason for that.)

Anyway, off I go! I think, "maybe Fair Isle ... maybe intarsia." I set out to do it Fair Isle. It didn't take long to conclude that I couldn't keep the carried-along yarn loose enough to get the sock over my heel.

To make a long story short, we now have a pattern in our DIY section for pink argyle wrist warmers, modeled here by my niece's son who used them as boxing gloves when he wasn't being annoying with the remote. (Okay, it's important not to take oneself too seriously, right?) But I do (seriously) love how they turned out. It was a fun little challenge so I thought I'd share the pattern. Make 'em, wear 'em, and you're guaranteed to get some comments!
