I do still knit and here’s some proof. 2 lovely pairs of socks. One with that new tomato heel. The jury is still out on if I really like it or not, but it was fun for this pair. The purple pair is my friend Julie’s pattern Monet’s Twist with a few variations. I’ve basically [...] I’ve been working really hard to finish up some really old projects. They had been WIPs way too long and that had to come to an end. In a finish or frog it decision I decided to felt this mitten and make it a cat toy. It was too big and I was not [...] Yesterday I started the day off with a bang by finishing two pairs of socks. A lovely simple car sock (my favorite pattern is Classic Socks for the Family, but there seems to be a lot of free ones on Rav that have a similar recipe) – that just needed kitchnering and the second [...] Last week the Gumdrop socks met the frog pond. Can you see the trouble with sock two. I know, I know… heinous in sock knitting. One cuff is shorter by 1/2 inch and I messed up which diamond to start the heel on. I really felt no love lost with this project – so [...] Two different days… two socks had a blow out. A pair of monkeys on the left… bummer. I got these in a swap and loved them. They were in a sport, so great in the colder weather. A pair of Koigu knit in Julie’s pattern – Monet’s Twist – on the right. I loved [...] Thank you Debbi for the gorgeous socks. I got them in the mail today and ripped the package open and put them right on. I will really enjoy them. The pattern is Debbi’s very own design – Lady Olivia Lace. The yarn is Ivy Brambles Echo Lake. [...] I’m down to the heel and I’m hoping to get through the gusset today. I hope that my Silly Sock Swap Pal likes these socks. They will probably have to wait until next winter to wear them as if you remember they are solid wool and going to be warm. [...] For some reason I got a crazy idea and joined the Ravelympics. I’m in the Fleece to FO Track. I’d been wanting to spin for another pair of socks and (a) it was a good time to motivate me to do this and (b) I thought this would be fun for my Silly Sock Swap. [...] So here we go… I finished up a pair of basic socks with some yarn I dyed a while ago. These have been hanging on for ages and ages, since I just worked on them a minute here and there. The eternal car sock project. Well… that feels good. Also I’ve completed a few [...] Since I had nearly a whole ball left after finishing Gretel, I decided that I needed to make a pair of Fetching. You know…the ones that everyone has made. I have to say – the more I work with this KnitPicks yarn – the more I’m liking it. I can see a gorgeous, cozy sweater [...] |
