Monsoon Socks Finished

I’ve managed to get a couple of things finished around here. The Ribby Cardi was finished last weekend and worn this week. I’ve got to get a good photo taken and then I will share more. I also managed to finish my brother’s socks, made using the Monsoon Colorway of the Rockin’ Sock Club kit [...]

Done! Flower Power Socks

I managed to get the pair done, kitchenering (is that a word?) the toes tonight. Unfortunately for my little cousin, her feet are not so little! Her shoe size matches her age, apparently, at a size 10. That means that these will be going to some other lucky person when I get home. They should [...]

Summer of Love Lace Sock

Well, I did manage to get the first sock done. I really like these babies! And a close-up of the vine lace pattern: These are really quick to make. Now, I’m off to start sock #2.

Closing in On the Finish

Today the last clue for Mystery Stole 3 came out. I am busy trying to finish. I hope to have a new pic to post by Sunday. I’ve also managed to finish my Denmark socks. They’ve been mailed to their intended recipient, along with the Kimono Shawl. Since I forgot to take a picture before [...]

Done!

I’ve finally finished my Sockapalooza 4 pal’s socks. Silly really, because they knit up so fast. I finished the whole instep of the second sock last night and had started the toe. I finished it this morning. They’re really cool socks, as you can see. I wanted something that was a Cookie A. pattern, since [...]

Pair #6 Done

I’ve been working on these simple stockinette stitch socks for the last month. They’ve gotten worked on off and on as my interest in other projects determined. They were also my ‘waiting for the bus’ socks. Unfortunately for me, trying to knit while riding in a moving vehicle induces nausea. Stupid car sickness. I’ll never [...]

Show and Tell Friday: Hogwarts Sock Swap

Well, today is Show and Tell Friday for the Hogwarts Sock Swap. I’m on to sock #2. Yay! I’m making my pal’s socks in Regia 4-ply, color #2002, and Wolle Rodel’s Sport & Strumpfwolle Classik, color 16965. They’re coming out great, and once I get done with the calf decreases, I’ll be cruising along. Included [...]

New Projects, Old Projects

This week has been really crazy for me. Work has been busy, and stressful. I’ve also got some plans in the works that require me to focus on my forward development. Which means, I wanna get out of this field and do more management. So, I’ve been trying to get my resume together, etc. Hopefully, [...]

Socks, Socks, and more

I have absolutely loved Seraphim by Miriam Felton (creator of Icarus) since I first started contemplating lace. I haven’t worked on it because I could never decide on which yarn to use. Finally I broke down and cast on this weekend. I’ve tried three different yarns in that time. Something from Handpaintedyarn.com which is really [...]

Pair # 3 Done

I’ve finished another pair of socks for the Plunge. This time in Regia Canyon color. I used the Madder Rib pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks for this one. Next up is some yarn I hand-painted and the Seeded Ribbing Check Patern from MSKS.
