Shadow Box Socks

I have started a new pair of socks.  These are the Shadow Box Socks, the first design from the Handmade Sock Society 5.  I've never done any of the Handmade Sock Society collections before, but I when I saw this one I thought it sounded like fun.  You get one sock pattern a month for six months.  I'm knitting this first pair in Dream in Color Smooshy in Mermaid Shoes. (Really, I think if you actually had a pair of mermaid shoes, they should probably be in a shadow box anyway.  At least if they were shoes for actual mermaids, not just shoes with mermaids on them.)

As you can see, Mr. Noodle was also curious about these socks so he pounced on the sock knitting bag a couple of times, just to let the yarn know he was watching it.  I appreciate all he does around here to keep the yarn in line, as long as he doesn't eat it.
