Great pattern - great yarn - a wonderful combination for sock knitting.
My other socks are coming along nicely -
Big Basin Socks in Sockina
Look at that stitch definition!
Spring Thaw Socks in Shibui Sock
The leaves are starting to spiral around the foot and leg. A little slow going with the K1, P1 rib and adding the leaves - sometimes you’re working 3 leaves at once, all on different rows, but it’s totally worth it.
Happy Sunday Sock Knitting!
read comments (1)Well, the summer of socks continues.
SOS #2: Rainy Day Sock progress - moving along nicely
SOS #4: Big Basin Socks from the Six Sock Knitalong, Sockina Cotton, Size 1 Addi’s
SOS #5: Spring Thaw Socks, Shibui Sock, Size 2 Addi’s
Yes, I finished the third pair started before the second pair started. I’m fickle, what can I say?
Off to knit more socks.
Hope you had a wonderful 4th. This is what I woke up to this morning:
I made sure this little one wandered back into the woods instead of the street just beyond the trees there. Don’t know what I would have done if he wandered toward the street. Guess if you see a crazy knitter running through the street at 6 am chasing a deer, you’ll know it’s me. Wave and say hi!
I finished another pair of socks - and I finished my first Christmas present to boot!
Pattern: Simple Pleasure by Terry L. Ross
Yarn: Koigu (what else?)
Needles: Size 2 Addi’s
Started: 6/26/08
Finished: 7/1/08
Look at that stitch definition! This pattern is perfect for showing off all the colors of this Koigu. I made shorter cuffs (3.5″) as the recipient likes shorter cuffs.
Now off to finish the Rainy Day Socks and cast on for another pair - another Christmas present.
Should have thought of this last year - everyone is getting socks this Christmas!
I finished my first pair of SOS socks last night:
Quick and easy - great sleeping socks.
Now I’m off to cast on for my third pair, and work on my second pair - looks the same - haven’t worked on it all week. Remember that life getting in the way thing? Yeah, you can always count on that!
Well, want take a wild guess as to what I did this weekend? The Summer of Socks knit along kicked off at 12:01 am Saturday morning. I made it to midnight, cast on, knit one row, then went to bed - yes, I can still party with the big boys! I knit on and off all weekend, and here’s what I accomplished:
Pattern: Toe-to-Cuff Lace Rib Socks, Heartstrings
Yarn: Artyarns Supermerino
Needles: Size 5 addi lace circs
One sock done, the other growing quite steadily.
Pattern: Rainy Day Socks, Yuliya Sullivan
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino
Needles: Size 3 addi lace circs
Just finished the gusset decreases and am cruising down the foot.
You didn’t think I could just cast on for one pair of socks did you? Though the patterns are similar, both are easy to work. When I get bored with one, I switch to the other. Hopefully I’ll have both completed by the end of the week - don’t quote me on that though - life has a tendency to get in the way sometimes.
