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
