Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a tiger by the toe
If he hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

I was surprised at how many variations there are on this counting rhyme! Clearly, some of them are more acceptable than others... In this case, the "tiger" in question isn't really a tiger at all but rather Younger Son.
Younger Son who is the proud owner of a brand new pair of hand knit socks made out of Opal "Tiger". There's just something so "boy" about that yarn. I ordered it back in July along with some other things from Simply Sock Yarns. How long does something have to remain un-knit before I can claim that I knit it from my stash? They're currently out of stock of it, does that count as being long enough?
The challenge tonight: catch his tiger toes and convince him that his socks cannot be worn all week without washing! Boys...!

Boys...they are always slippery when it comes to staying clean.

I love the socks and they look great! I mught have to get some of that yarn when I finish the socks in my stash. Sock Yarn stash is very small at the moment....but not for long thanks to the link you provided....

But they're wool socks. Of course they can be worn all week without washing!
