FO Friday

Another month another pair of socks. Is it me or doesn't the year seem to be moving fast ?  In less than 10 days April will be upon us.

My March Socks

A wild colorway coupled with a vanilla sock always makes sense.

 

The yarn is Studio Samples fingering. I'm gushing over the fact that I paid $1.00 for it !  I didn't use a pattern.  These were done on US 2s.

Question of the day.  What makes sock knitting so addictive ?  I can't figure it out but yes, I am addicted.  I'm making socks even when I don't want to !

Enjoy Your Weekend !

February is Done !

I don't want to claim it too soon but I think I've got my Knitting Mojo back !  I'm feeling it.  The desire is there.  Yay !  This month I made a hat, a pincushion and socks.  Don't laugh but this a big deal for me.

I'm not saying I'll be making a pair of socks every month but I will certainly try. 🙄  There is no pattern for these just a two-by -two rib on a yarn that I won in a blog contest maybe 5 years ago.  The yarn is the discontinued Plymouth Yarn - Bungee.  It's actually a sport yarn so I worked these on US 3s.  I love the colorway (Fuschia) and the nubby texture of the yarn.  These were an enjoyable knit.

Can you believe that after talking about it a few posts ago I hadn't even posted this photo.  Here it is.  Bea' s Black Barley.

Happy Knitting and Enjoy  !

Talk to You soon.

First Socks for 2019

In the beginning I kicked myself for choosing a cabled sock pattern as my first 2019 but 3/4s into the first sock I was fine. The cables felt good and the needles were a rolling !  The pattern is Fa Fa Fa Socks which according to Ravelry were last made August of 2016.  I'm thinking of making a second pair later this year. What can I say.  I love cabled socks.  I used US 2s for these.  It called for U.S 1s but I'm a tight knitter.

What's next ?  I started a cute little cupcake pattern a week ago but put it down to finish my socks.  Hopefully I can complete the cupcake before the week is out.

Next month we'll be seeing another Valentine's Day.  I love how much crafting is done during the holidays.  I will have to go through my stash and pick out reddish and pink yarns to see what I can come up with.  Perhaps a hat, mitts or maybe something whimsical.   We'll see.

So for now enjoy the rest of your week.
