Socks - Sweet 16

I made these socks for my younger daughter for her 16th birthday. She picked out the wild and crazy yarn.

Socks - Highlighters

I love these socks! The yarn is as bright as highlighters, so that is their name. This was my first time doing an afterthought heel.

The pattern is the Bowtie Stitch by Caroline Kerr of Knit'N'Knibble

Socks - Pink Monkeys

I made these Monkey socks for my friend Monkey (Deb). I love this yarn!!!

Socks - Charity

I made these socks for charity. They are sock yarn doubled with heavy wool, and they are VERY warm. :)

Socks - Lovestruck Hearts

I made these Lovestruck Hearts socks as a graduation gift for one of my ChemoAngels friends.

Socks - Bremen Muster (Bumpy Socks)

I made these cute Bumpy Socks for my older daughter. I love the colors and the pattern together.

Project 365 - Summer of Socks - July 3

I finished my Easter socks! I dyed the yarn myself with egg dye. This is Knit Picks dyable yarn, and it is so soft and comfy. I love them!

Project 365 - Summer of Socks - July 1

I just need to finish the seam on the toe of the second sock. I am calling these my Easter socks because I used egg dye to hand-dye the yarn.

Cool, huh?

Woot! I finished the first heart sock. I love it!!!

I made it to the gusset on my daughter's sock.

Project 365 - Summer of Socks - June 21

Yay! Today is the first day of summer of socks. I started a pair of socks for our oldest daughter. The pattern is Bremen Muster, and the yarn is Garnstudio FABEL.

I went to Barnes & Nobel and had lunch and then found a comfy chair to sit in and knit. What a great day!

Summer of Socks Starts Today!

Today kicks of Summer of Socks 2009. I have been waiting eagerly for today to arrive!

I have three pairs of socks on the needles already, and my goal is to finish a sock a week between now and September 1.

Today, to celebrate the official start of SOS2009, I will cast on a pair of socks for my older daughter.

Pictures to be posted soon .....

Project 365 - Cindy's Socks

I made these socks for my friend Cindy, and they fit her perfectly! (I was really worried about that). She had picked the yarn out herself several months ago, so I am glad to finally have them done for her.

Project 365 - Cindy's Socks

I made these socks for my friend Cindy. She was my older daughter's sponsor at her Confirmation, and she will do the same for my younger daughter in April. Cindy picked the yarn, and I think they turned out pretty cute. I can't wait for her to try them on.

The pattern is Waffle Rib by Charlene Schurch in "Sensational Knitted Socks." The yarn is Regia 4-ply in colorway in 5025 (Papillon).

First Continental Socks

These socks will be my first pair done with Continental knitting. They are also the first ones where I am using 2 strands of yarn. I love how they are turning out so far! The colored yarn is self-striping, so they should look really interesting when they are done.

Edited to Add: Yikes! This is too small and does not fit over my heel. I leaned a very valuable lesson here ... the strands from the colorwork make this less stretchy than usual. I think I need to experiment with gauge for this project. ;)

Project 365 - Socks in Progress

My friend, Cindy, has asked me to knit a pair of socks for her, and this is the first sock. I just finished the gusset decreases. She picked the yarn, and this picture really does not do it justice. I will post a better picture of the socks when they are completed.

Cindy was our older daughter's sponsor at her Confirmation last year, and this year she will do the same for our younger daughter.
