Sock Progress


One down, one to go. So far, the pattern has been a quick knit. Looks a bit complicated but was actually really easy to memorize.

Self-imposed Sock Club: March

I am supposed to be doing a self-imposed sock club, where I knit a pair of socks every month. The key words there are "supposed to be", I failed during February. The month just kind of got away from me.

But I am am back at it for March! Now that I have gotten through the birthday party for my now 3 year old (!), I can start on a pair of socks out of this beautiful yarn.


Hopefully, they turn out as pretty as they are in my mind. lol

Love Socks

What's this?! An actual post?! No way! I have finally decided to dust the cobwebs off and try to get this blog up and running again. Since my last post, I have had a baby girl (that is now 3 months old!), stopped and restarted knitting, and started a 365 project blog (http://365capture.blogspot.com/).

The first knitting project I have completed this year is these cute little socks for my cute little girls.

Pattern: LoveSocks (on the blog) (on Ravelry)


Yarn: Stroll Fingering Sock Yarn in natural and dyed by me

Needles: size 1 (2.25 mm) Knit Picks DPNs

Started: January 23, 2011
Finished: January 27, 2011

Notes: I used the idea of the pattern but sized it down to fit a 3 year old and a 3 month old.

Winter Socks for Aubrey

I decided that rather than buy Aubrey some more socks that I would make her some nice knit winter socks instead. I got enough yarn to (hopefully) make 5 pairs of socks for her little feet to keep them toasty warm.

This is the first pair I made, just basic socks no fancy cables or lace or anything. I made them so that they will fit all winter long. Which means they are a little big right now, but wearable.

Socks for Aubrey

Pattern: My own toe up baby sock "recipe"

Yarn: Koigu KPPPM color P404

Needles: size 1 dpns

Details: Not really much to say here, just basic socks. This was the first time that I used the Koigu yarn (which a lot of people rave about) and I have to say it is nice yarn. The colors are gorgeous and I think that is most of the appeal of it. It's a nice squishy yarn, and very soft. Maybe I am just cheap, but for the price I would never make socks for myself out of it, unless I found it on sale for cheap somewhere.

Mmmmm....socks
