Playing Catch Up - The Knit Sock Edition

It's been forever since I posted last. So here's a catch up post with socks I've finished knitting since my last post...whenever that was.


Yarn - Socks that Rock lightweight in Rosebud
Pattern - Copper Pennies by Nancy Bush from Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn


Yarn - Socks that Rock lightweight in KMBFLA
Pattern - Shur'tagal Socks by Alice Yu
These were knit as part of the Socks That Rawk groups Quarter 2 KAL. The pattern repeat went pretty fast once I got the hang of the twist stitches that are used.


Yarn - Socks that Rock mediumweight in Gertrude Skein
Pattern - Papaver Socks by Anne Hanson
This colorway is from the March 2009 Rockin' Sock Club kit. Since I wasn't crazy about the pattern that came with it I chose a different one, but I do love the colors.


Yarn - Socks that Rock lightweight in Spring Fling
Pattern - Lacy Diamonds, April 2009 Sockamania pattern

I also have one lonely pair of socks on the needles at the moment.


Yarn - Shalimar Yarns Zoe Sock in Pillow Mint
Pattern - Peak Experience

I have other finished objects and more projects in progress to share. Come see me on Ravelry or Flickr to see what I've been up to. Lately, it seems like I've been better at acquiring stash than using it. :o)

Posting here will continue sporadically.

Queen of Beads Socks

Yarn - Socks that Rock lightweight in My Blue Heaven
Pattern - Queen of Beads by Sivia Harding

I finally have something new to share. Both the yarn and pattern are from the January 2009 Rockin' Sock Club. I finished them just in time. The new Rockin' Sock Club kit is due to ship this week. I made a few mods to the pattern. I knit my usual cast-on & cuff and omitted the beads on the instep. This was my first time knitting with beads. Stringing the beads and constantly having to push the beads down were kind of a pain, but I'm very pleased with the finished socks.

Sunday Knitting

It's been a while since I've knit any dishcloths. Yesterday turned out to be a good dishcloth knitting day.


Pattern: A Little Lace Kitchen Cloth
Yarn: Peaches & Cream in Royal Casino
This was a fun, quick, and easy pattern to do. I see more of these in my future.


Pattern: Hero Cloth (Rav link)
Yarn: Peaches & Cream in Baby Pink
My 10-year-old son was looking over my shoulder as I was browsing my Ravelry queue to figure out which dishcloth to knit next. He saw this pattern and asked me to make it for him. He even picked the pink color.

Little Monkeys

Yarn - Lisa Souza Hardtwist Petite in Newtown
Pattern - Monkey Socks

These are for my 7-year-old. The only mods I made to the pattern were to make the leg and foot shorter to fit his feet.
