I dare you.

I dare you to make these.

Double dog dare you with whipped cream and cherries.

Behold, Carassius, the Socks of the Kissing Fish.

I will send a skein of yarn to the first person to make these and send me a picture of both completed socks. The colorway doesn't matter, although I would recommend a light-medium solid or semi-solid. Beads or no, doesn't matter. 

They're kissing goldfish, who wouldn't want a pair of these? They could represent you and your sweetheart, they could represent you and your little one, they could represent your real life Carassiuses. (Carassi?) 

Your time begins now: 8:37 pm on Sunday, January 24th. If you don't already have a copy of this pattern (which is amazing, painstakingly edited, with charts and written instructions), you can get one here.

GO!

Awww, I love those. Alas, I don't knit socks... they are my nemesis.

I'm in - but I am the world's slowest knitter! You couldn't pick a footie pattern instead?
