FlockenSocken

my interpretation of the Christmas KAL

I don't like knitting with two strands - so I took black sockyarn, the snowflake in the pattern and white beads ...

and here is the result:

thank you, Tama, for the pattern - it was fun to knit

Something finished in August

The pattern is Crocus fields

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crocus-fields-in-early-spring I used some Jawoll in superwash. Fun knit, it has been a while since I knit a pair of socks, I had spent the summer knitting on a monster shawl that still needs to be blocked. I am looking forward to the KAL.

I have lots of leftovers - so I made some minis -

and 40 minis - I still have to add a little chain and a ring and then they can be used as key fobs - 

they will be selled at a charity bazaar for the benefit of handicapped children

(hope I got the right words .... )

Knitting in May

I put these aside to make the blue socks for last month. Got these puppies finished! They were a bit on the slow side. Clandestine by Cookie A. for Knitty.com Fall 2009. I used Knit Picks Gloss in the fingering weight in the Serengeti color way. I was a bit annoyed, one of the hanks had 2 breaks in it, so I had to splice the yarn.

April Pair of Felted Bed Socks / Slippers

These are another pair of the Bed Socks with Novelty Yarn from "The Little Box of Socks" by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott.

I started with 4 fewer stitches around the ankle to make it a little more snug and I stopped decreasing the toe a little early as I like a more rounded toe. The previous Bed Socks I made had a toe that was little pointy for me (even after felting).

This pair is very comfortable - I hope I don't wear them out too quick!

April Socks

I was visiting my daughter and knew that I wouldn't be able to finish the socks I had in progress, so bought some Woolcraft superwash Sock Yarn in a nearby town. I wanted to be able to leave them with her, and was able to finish some plain ol' vanilla ribbed socks. No pattern, just my basic sock contruction and I used a 2x2 rib for the leg. And they were finished before I had to leave!

The Diamond Socks of November

Finally the picture of the diamond socks (november)

The pattern is my own creation.
The yarn: leftovers from Lana Grossa

My son loves wearing them: if they are not by the dirty wash, they are on his feet.

Tidal Wave Socks

I finally knit another pair of socks! I made so many errors, that I practically knit them twice! Meant for my daughter's birthday in December, but finished on New Year's Day! I used Koigu Painters Palette Premium Merino yarn. The pattern is from
http://www.ravelry.com/designers/o-c-knitiot-designs---deby-lake?page=2.

This is the second time I have knit the pattern, the first time without any troubles. So it was a real surprise when I made so many errors this time around.
