I finished some socks...

..in March..

Here they are.

Blue Monkeys for my Mom


The pattern is Monkey. It is a free pattern from Cookie A. Super popular! (it has been logged on Ravelry as knit 14,135 times) It's very easy and the socks are fun. I need to make another pair of these.

Pi Socks for me.


The striping on these is based on the 3.141...math thing. Notice I don't sound like I know what I'm talking about. Well that's because it's true. I just googled it to get the number sequence after seeing a pair on Ravelry.

I've started some other knitting projects too. Socks for my friend Chantale. Hers will also be a Cookie A. pattern. I also started the Candelia cardigan by Cecily Glowik MacDonald. I love her patterns! If I had a zillion dollars for yarn, and 10 arms, I would knit tonnes of her patterns! So far this is my first one of hers. I lied. The scarves/cowls I knit from New England Knits were also her pattern. Love her!

52 Fridays Week 12/52

I knit these myself!



Trying out my tripod, and taking pictures of my new socks! My second ever pair. First in sock weight yarn. Yippee! I wish my feet were teeny tiny. Not size 9.5. More photos on my Flickr photostream

I'm still plugging away on my Ravelympics socks. I had to start over. I am now doing them Top-Down. I will not give up.

Have a good weekend all!

52 Fridays Week 8/52

Seriously! When did it happen?!



I've been knitting away on my socks for the Ravelympics. Turns out they are a titch too small. hmm.. I've since frogged the one with the yellow toe and started over with orange and size 2.25mm needles instead of 2mm. I shoulda know my guage was off. I actually did, but somehow thought it would work out. Lesson learned. Items will not stretch to guage. I also knew that. I will be frogging the other one soon. I have until the 28th to finish them.
