Stripes and Spikes

It’s the perfect sometimes-chilly, sometimes-warm time of year for Super Stripes! Of course they go about to mid-thigh and cover your leggies for warmth, but they’re also a nice loose knit that allows breezes for your kneezes. I like mine with sock garters and a skirt or shorts.

I scrunch mine to just a few inches above the knee and fasten the garter there; this time it was the Pink Spiked Garters.

I thought the mixture of sweet pink with black and hard spikes was great fun, and it was comfy, too! :)

    that might look cool… advice: if it’s polyester you can’t use dyes like Rit or it wont work right lol, but it’ll dye really well if it’s nylon.

  4. Babylon Says:

    oh and cotton+Rit=fades big time lol

    The super stripes are pretty but they slide and bunch a ton on my short legs and I’m usually too lazy to wear my sock garters…lol but I LOOOOOOOVE the super knees. Well, and the pink knees…I spend less time arguing with them to stay up hehe =). On the plus side super stripes are great for when i want a scrunchy sock… or for when I’m not feeling lazy and actually wear garters…..

    I have about a 28″ inseam, but I have largerish legs..some combo of that makes it difficult for the longer socks to stay on but otk/kneehighs seem to stay up well =).

    Look who’s wearing lots of PINK! :O) you look great… look at those legs that go on for days!

    I cannot get my super stripes to stay up to save my life. I tried to use sock garters, and they just pulled the garters off! the only thing that works at all is wearing the flat knit knee highs underneath. The friction holds them up to just under my knees, and I have a wadded mess at my knees. *sigh* No super stripes for me.

    aww, holly, that sucks! :( Have you tried the Longer Super Stripes? If it’s a length issue and not a width one, they may help. and yeah, eg, pink, and it’s all niqkita’s fault. :)

  11. EG Says:

    :O) well you look great!

  12. EG Says:

    and she did it to me too… I always loved pink, but NEVER thought I’d actually wear it other than in a vintage slip and pretty much only around the house… now look, i have pink socks, pink shoes, and it’s even gotten into my hair ;o)

  13. Niq Says:

    Hey now, I never used to wear pink either, I think it’s something in the air ~;)

  14. EG Says:

    tee hee ;o)

    The great thing about having SOOO many socks is that there’s lots of choices, on person’s fav is another’s least fav and so on and so on… ~:)
