I know, I know I promised a picture of my second sock, but I forgot to take a picture before I sat down at the computer tonight. I would get up, but you know I may fall into bed and never return back to the computer. So instead I’m going to show you some stash that showed up on my door step today.
I really wanted to try the dpn’s from Knitpicks and well you know I had to spend at least $45 for free shipping.
Well, you see the sock book. I debated because some are on the Net and a couple are in recent magazines with in the last year or so, but then others are older and very cool. Not too expensive, so perfect for the knitting library. I got the yarn because I want some red socks – don’t know why, but I figure the burgundy will be perfect for them. The black and grey are for Monsieur Purl. He saw a pair of socks in a magazine and he asked “can you knit these?” Sure I can and the picture is on my board waiting to be knitted. I’ll add it to the list.

Nice stash enhancement! So what is this board of which you speak? I’m definitely in need of a way to keep track of current and planned projects because “in my head” is definitely not working. *lol*
I want to look inside that book before I decide if I should buy it. I have most of the old IK magazines, but it WOULD be nice to have all the patterns in one place….
Your mittens are beautiful!!
They really are smart with that free shipping deal…we all spend more than we planned…just to take advantage. LOL
that free shipping will get you everytime! i just find it funny that every few months they up the amount even though the cost of postage hasn’t gone up since the last increase
) just sayin’!
have fun with your new goodies!
Does the yarn purchase make the working any easier? Looks like a lot of fun ahead!
love the yarn – and I saw that new book at a recent fiber fair.. it’s wonderful
