At the last minute, my March socks!

Here are my March socks! I knit these for my husband. The pattern is one I found in Nicky Epstein's hat book, it's her reversible diagonal rib pattern. I knit these socks on size three needles using Knit Picks Palette yarn.



Edited to add the picture and a link to the post on my blog.

Just finished

March socks, also my Socktopia entry.
RPM from Knitty using Lorna's Laces Sport Flames.
Started them at the begining of the month but had to stop as I was joining in the Sock Madness.
Which mean's I've managed to finished 3 pairs of socks this month, I'm soooo chuffed.

Oops I forgot to add my name again.

Tracy.

Done . . . In the Pink!

I finally finished my socks - in the nick of time! These were my Round #2 socks for Sock Madness 2007, Mad-tinis.

It’s still March, right?

Nothing like waiting until the last possible second to get them done, but finally the March socks are off the needles. Modeled here by my granddaughter. More info can be found on my blog. (sorry the picture isn't the best)

My First Post / Entry

Hello!

Whew! Made it in time for the March entry, and with a few hours to spare!

I've been knitting socks for only a few months but I'm, like the rest of you I suspect, totally addicted! The socks I've posted here are a modified version of the "Slouch Socks" from Socks, Socks, Socks. They have an Eye of Partridge heel and were knit on little Brittanys: size 1 1/2 double points. The yarn was hand dyed by a friend and is Superwash Morino and Nylon. Isn't it beautiful!

In the coming months, I'll be looking forward to the group's inspiration and motivation to make that goal of knitting a pair a month. Thanks Sock a Month Knitalong!

Sandy (from Southwest Louisiana)

Under The Wire!

I finished these up about 1/2 an hour ago, so they should count for March (don't think I have that one yet...forgot to look). These are made with Knit Picks Simple Stripes in the "storm" colourway. I used the Chevron pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. These socks look like they'd fit a stick figure, they're so skinny. But they'll stretch some. They're made in a children's size 2-4.

Shelley at Kitten Knits Yarn

March Socks!

Here are my March socks. These are the second pair I have ever knit! I used a 5 stitich repeat - toe up pattern from Sensational Socks. Instead of a patterned stitch I used a k3 p2 rib. The more complicated patterns just did not show up using this yarn. It is too colorful! The yarn is Regia Bamboo Color - Jamaca. I love it. They look great with jeans. This yarn is 45% Bamboo, 40% Wool, and 15% Polyamide.

3 Pairs for March

I did not to bad for this month, 3 pairs and 2 are giftees. First knit were the baby socks for my Favorite Color Swap2 pal using Artyarns Ultramerino. The pink & green are STR Watermelon Tourmaline for my Sockret Pal and last but not least my Knit Off socks in Koigu. Those babies were started Sunday morning(yes, late start) and finished at 2 am Tuesday morning. Now I know if push comes to shove and I need a quick gift I can whip up a pair of socks in 2 days, lol.





Happy Knitting!

cutting it a little close...

With mere hours to spare, I finished off my pair for March. I knit the Child's First Sock in Shell Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks. I used 2 skeins of Koigu (colorway 1160). Modifications included one extra repeat on both the cuff and instep, as well as a short row heel. I'm quite pleased with them... :)

By the skin of my teeth - March socks

You'll just have to trust me on this one - these are two different socks. I can't photograph them together because one's at my house, the other at my Mum's and I've just finished them in time to count as March socks! They are the Falling In Love socks from the February issue of Magknits, made in Lucia sock yarn from Posh Yarn. It would have helped immensely if I hadn't put up my knitting for 2 weeks in the middle of the month, but due to a marathon over the past week I got there in the end - just.

Bad sock knitter!

I finished these Dublin Bay socks about two weeks ago and never got around to taking the picture. (Sheer laziness kept me from posting. That and my example of embarrassment of the worst grafting evah! Seriously bad.)

Anyway, the yarn is Trekking and I followed the pattern except that I did a plain heel flap and Dutch heel. (Shoot...I didn't take pictures of the cool heel. I like the Dutch heel. I'll do that one again soon.)

My boys call these the "Ice Cream Socks."

Sheila at A Full of Knitting

Baby Crazy!

Well, my son and his girlfriend are expecting their second child. They found out a week ago that it is a girl!!! She is due at the end of May and so I started knitting up teeny tiny socks! I have been wrapping them to give to them on Easter when I see them and forgot I needed to get a picture for this knitalong! Lol! So here is one pair, I made four pair over the week, each pair looking much better than the last!

Now back to the regularly scheduled sock on the needles program.

Sharon (Secret Spindle)

Late Bird

I put off posting these socks because I was hoping to finish another pair this month. But that won't happen, so here's my March pair!

These will be a gift later this year. More/bigger pictures and pattern/yarn details available in this post.

Cheers, limedragon :-: Harriet

Cutting it close to the wire!

March socks are done!

Pattern: Naga Socks - a pattern by me, will be available on my blog by mid April.

Sisters' socks

Olaf has been a friend for many years now.
He has two girls, aged 4 and 7 years, and I wanted to knit the first socks for them.

I decided to use the same wool so that they won't fight about the nicest pair.



I used "Streifen-Jaquard" from Wolle Roedel (Germany). I'm very glad that the girl liked the socks and that the socks have the right size too. The next socks for them - which I hopefully will show in April - are already on my needles.

Karin

March Socks

Finally finished these socks, which will be in a Dulaan package later in April. They made a very dense, soft fabric and should keep a child's feet very warm.

Yarn: Lamb's Pride Worsted (Orchid Thistle)
Pattern: Free Pattern for Children In Common
Needles: 2 pairs of size 5 circulars

Bamboo Socks Complete

This is my second pair of socks for March. Two pairs in one month is a first for me, and probably only because there were 31 days in this month!

Blue Bamboo Zephyr Socks

Pattern: Zephyr Socks
Source: Domesticat
Yarn: Regia Bamboo Color 1061
Needles: Addi Turbo Lace size 1 US; (2) 24" circulars

Modifications: I knit these from the toe-up using Judy's Magic Cast-On. I kept the sole stitches to 26, but increased the instep stitches to 36. On the heel flap, I made sure I ended up with 27 stitches before starting the leg and kept the 36 stitches from the instep to end up with a total of 63 stitches on the leg section. The original pattern has 52 stitches, so I definitely had to take time to do recalculations to fit this yarn to my size 8 foot.

Notes: I'm going to confess my shortcomings that I chose the wrong pattern for this yarn and the wrong needles for this yarn. Independently I'm sure I would love each item, but together spelled misery for me. This pair of socks took a month to knit and they should have taken no more than 2 weeks. By the way, the jogless bind-off worked BRILLIANTLY! Thanks again Amber.

March Socks for myself

I love knitting very much but I always knit for other persons. I don't have socks I knit on my own. But with this pair everything changes. ;)



The wool is a "no name" yarn I bought at ebay but I'm quite sure that it is made by Opal/Germany.
I finished them on March 20th.

When I saw these frills (is this the correct word?) for the first time, I knew I had to give it a try.
I like how it came out and so I'll keep the socks for myself.

Karin

Belated

I just joined a few days ago and want to show my February socks although I wasn't in the knitalong.





I knit the socks for Tine who got the socks in our birthday sock swap of a German yahoogroup.

Squeaking In.....

WOOT!!! I've abandoned all housework (or pretence of) to complete these for the deadline. It's 5.15 on a sunny saturday afternoon and I'm doing the happy dance.

Here are my Central Air socks hot off the needle and straight onto the scanner bed. Knitted with wildfoote (colourway Symphony) from a Blue Moon pattern. Loved the way the yarn knits, really enjoyed knitting the pattern, which was simple to remember, and adore the socks. Both the yarn and the pattern were extra special because they came to me as part of a swap. More details on my blog http://l0st-in-space.spaces.live.com/

Looking forward now to checking out what you guys have all knit, sitting back a bit then casting on for April.

Happy Easter

My monkey sock

One more sock in March, I really like this pattern. I am please that I could have it done in couple weeks.

Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A , Knitty 2006 Winter

Yarn: SOXX; winter

Needle size: 2mm Size 0 40"

Cast on 64 stitches

Start 3/12/2007

Finish: 3/27/2007

Happy Knitting.........-Esther

Finished March socks!

I just wanted to let you all know I did finish a pair of socks this month! Just today. But I can't show a picture yet as they are a gift/suprise as part of a swap and I suspect the one who they are for is part of this KAL, so I have to wait till they are recieved to post a picture!

If the host/mom wants proof I can send a picture privately! :D

Hopefully I'll have more socks to show of the coming month!

Another pair of March Socks

Pattern: Mad-tini by Karin Bole

Yarn: Spunky Eclectic's Maine Sock yarn in the Vinyard colorway

Needles: 2.5mm Crystal Palace dpn

I almost forgot to post this third pair of socks for March. This pair was knit for Round 2 of Sock Madness and finishing them in less than 2 days landed me in Round 3. I've seen who my opponent is for round 3 and I'm guessing I won't make it to round 4 :(

Bayerische Socks

Well, the March pair is completed. It's Bayerische Socks by Eunny Jang. And the pattern is fantastic. Wonderfully described and well written, it was a joy to knit. But it took a while considering there are just over 90 stitches for a round and 2mm needles, but the result was well worth it.

So... what to knit for April? I have a pair of Chuck's Cabled Socks, also by Eunny started... but again, a rather time consuming knit. We'll see.......

Kind regards to all from sunny Andalucia,

Bettina

finished

Finished just in time again,. These are actually my 3rd pair of socks this month but hte first two are for magazine submissions so are top secret. One pair has been accepted and one pair I'm waiting to hear back still.

But here are my latest pair. They're called Speedway and they're my own design. These are for my daughter, Em, but I'm working on upsizing them to an adult size. The yarn is The Yarn Yard March club yarn.

My 2nd pair for March

Here are my second pair of socks for March. I actually finished them on Tuesday 27th but only just managed to photograph them. They are monkey by Cookie A, knitted in Jaeger 100% wool fingering which I found in the depths of my stash. The combination of pattern and yarn has made these a very warm pair of socks. I really enjoyed knitting this pattern and will probably knit it again but in a less busy yarn.

Second March Socks done

I managed to get a second pair of socks done for March.

They are 'Embossed Leaves' found in the new Interweave Knits Favourite Socks book.

I used maple coloured yarn by L2K and a mixture of circular needles and dpns. I changed the heel because I didn't like the original one.

I found these easier to knit than I thought they would be (once I figured out how to do the cast on!)

March Socks

These socks I knit for my mother who will start her chemo for Ovarian Cancer next month, I know Chemo patients can be cold so I mad some thick socks. I still need to block them but these baby's cover Project Spectrum & Sock-a-month 3!

Another Pair for March

I finished the seemingly endless Socka socks for DH I've been working on for months. They've been my "take in the car just in case" socks. I used the alternating 2 X 2 rib pattern from SKS. More pictures on my blog, since I still don't have a camera and the scanned images are too large to post here. They were supposed to be done for Christmas. I guess they'll be an April Fool's day present now! That's a total of 4 finished pairs in March, a new record for me. Of course it helps that two of the pairs were made in sportweight on only 56 stitches. My fingers are showing the signs of too much sock knitting, though. I poked a hole in my index finger with the needle tip.

I cast on for a pair of Monkey socks to celebrate finishing the endlessly boring socks, but they morphed into broad rib socks from the new SKS book, which arrived on my doorstep today. I love the Culture Club socks, not to mention all of the other great socks people are making!

Margie

Socks! March!

Wow, just under the wire. I was hoping to have something more interesting to show for this month, but I just didn't get done the Embossed Leaves socks that I am working on in time. So, in lieu of that, here are my March socks. They have been finished for about a week now, but I didn't get around to taking pictures until today. These are my "purse socks". I always have a pair of socks in my purse for working on whenever I have to wait somewhere, sit through a meeting, or travel somewhere (if someone else is driving of course). These will be a gift for my Mom's b-day in July.

Pattern: Vanilla Toe Up Socks (worksheet from Summer 2006 Knitty) - this is the best thing for any size toe up socks!!
Yarn - Trekking XXL (I have no idea what color as I lost the band)





I have more pictures of these socks, plus the Embossed Leaves socks from the new Interweave socks book (Favorite Knitted Socks) on my BLOG

RPM/Culture Club Socks

Johanna and I must have been on the same wavelength this month. I made these modified RPM socks using Yarn Pirate's "Culture Club" colorway.

Here are the specs for these socks:

Yarn: Yarn Pirate's "Culture Club"
Pattern: Modified version of the RPM Socks
Two inch cuff over 64 stitches on size 0 dpns.
RMP pattern for 3.5 inches on the leg over 63 inches
Switch to stockinette for 1.5 inches
Heel flap and gusset, decreasing to 64 stitches

These socks took me forever. I'm not sure why, but I just couldn't finish these. As soon as I finished these, I started new socks and finished one of the pair last night using yarn that I've been dyeing myself.

Everyone is making such beautiful socks here; thanks for all the inspiration.

Karma Chameleon

I finished my "Karma Chameleon" socks last night, just in time for March! I'm going away for the weekend, so although they would have been the perfect "visiting project" tonight, I needed to do that toe so I could post it while I had access to my own computer! How's that for dedication?

Project Specs:

• Yarn: Opal Rainforest "Chameleon"


• Needles: 2.5mm Inox 40"


• Knit for: my cousin who has recently moved to Canada and I think she's sad. She doesn't know yet, so I can only post that here until she gets them in the mail... don't blow the surprise!

The color repeat was SO LONG on these socks that I decided early on that sock #2 was going to be different. Just to accentuate the point that I was trying to do that, (not being lazy), I started sock #2 from the other side of the skein. Hey, who's ever seen two matching Chameleons anyways?

Happy Sock Knitting to all!

Second Pair for March

I can hardly believe it, but I have a second pair of socks for March!



Pattern: My own - ankle socks with short row heel
Yarn: Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, one skein in Freesia
Needles: 5, US 1 Bamboo DPN's
Time: Started 3/23/07, Completed 3/28/07
Notes: I only bought one skein (that's all the LYS had) and thought I could surely make a pair of ankle socks out of 50 grams of yarn. Well, I most certainly did and then some. I sure do have small feet because I'm sure I have enough left for another ankle sock! I love how they came out and I even wore them to work today :o)

Happy Birthday, Hubby!

No, they are not for him, but I finished them only an hour ago and will be wearing them to his birthday dinner. Isn't that wonderful of me? These are my second pair for March (a new record for me).

pattern: Pebble Rib from Adult Socks II: Play On Ribs by Celina Garrels (an Ann Norling pattern)

yarn: SWTC Tofutsies color "Footsteps" (#737)

needles: Inox Express 2.5mm 40" for leg, Inox Pearl-greys 2.25mm 29" for rest of sock

You Are the Apple of My Eye

This sub-compact-sized-pair is my third pair of socks for March. Some geek-tastic friends of mine are expecting their first baby, and he isn't even due until July. I wish someone would have let me know that sock knitting is addictive when I knit my first pair in February.

Pattern: Cable Rib Socks from Better Than Bootie (free PDF), Interweave Knits Summer 2005
Yarn: Lana Grossa Cool Wool 2000 superfine merino in color 504
Needles: 2.5mm (approx. US 1) Addi circular
Mods: Cast on 32 stitches instead of 44 due to the thicker (but incredibly soft) yarn, didn't start the cabling until the third row so the tail could be easily knit into the second row, and a kitchener bind-off instead of a zigzag bind-off

~ fabienne

thank you

Thank you so much for letting me join. I think we're going to have a great time.

Crazy busy but here is March's pair!

Yanno these were actually perfect for this month, with the whole rainbow theme & St. Patrick's Day. These are probably my favorite pair by far, and thankfully it cooled off from 80 degrees to 54, so I can actually wear them for a little bit. Next pair, pedicure socks from Knitty (toe-less) so I can wear them in the summer.


Pattern: in my head, simple stockinette stitch; Yarn: Midnight Spectrum Rainbow Striped Sock yarn. I get most of my yarn from her, I just email to get a custom slot. :)

Hi, Everyone. I'm new around here and really excited to join the KAL.

These are my Socktopia Knit Off socks in Wildfoote forget me not:


They're not blocked yet, so they're still a little rough. I also made some worsted weight socks from Sensational Knitted Socks, but I don't have a picture of those. I'm getting a new digital camera soon, so I'll have better pictures next month.

Thanks for looking!

More March Socks

This was a record sock knitting month for me so I thought I would show what I have been knitting. I posted my "Uptown Boot Socks" earlier this month but since then, this is what I have been knitting.

First were my second pair of Monkeys which I knit with the Sockmaniac Yahoo Group



Next were the "big kid's" socks for Children in Common (CIC) charity group. These are almost the size of adult socks but faster to knit with worsted wt. yarn and US 5 needles. With the exception of the brown socks, all were knit in the last week.


The brown and red socks are a free pattern from Susan's blog

The turquoise socks are a simple 3x2 ribbed sock and the green with red cuffs, heels, and toes are the child's version of the Fluted Bannister pattern at the Six Sox Yahoo Group. All are knit with Paton's Classic Merino (100% wool) on US size 5 dpn's (ouch!).

Thanks for looking!

March socks

This is all I could manage this month. I have to admit I've been distracted by the two ripple afghans I'm completing for the No-End-In-Sight-Ripple-Along. I've even managed to develop two patterns for the Ripple Along and the patterns are offered for free on my blog, in case anyone is interested.

March Socks

I've finished three pairs of socks in March: Mad Cow from the Sock Madness contest (I qualified last in my bracket) and Mad Tini from the second round. I was blown out of the water in this round by my competitor who finished her pair in less than 24 hours. I don't have a camera right now, so I have linked to scans of my socks on my blog. (Large images, much bandwidth.) I hope that's okay. I also finished a pair of Swirly Girl socks, using Nature's Palette yarn in Odd Duck Indigo (the socks are fraternal twins.)

I finally finished my socks for March. They are the basic 2x2 ribbing pattern from Socks Soar On Two Circulars in the Royalty Colorway from Seacoast. These were made in size 14 for my wrestling ring announcer buddy The Mighty Ox, the voice of Southern Championship Wrestling. I'll have him model the socks at the next show.

March Socks -- FINALLY

This month was a test of patience. First waiting for my new Knitpicks Options size 2 circs. Then after knitting my March socks, I had to wait for my new sock blockers to arrive! Finally I can post! These are from Sensational Knitted Socks (Waterfall Rib). I used a ruffle cast-on and a round toe. I started out to do a short-row toe with kitchener on top and the first one worked perfect. Not so with sock number two -- sooooooooo -- tinked back to the pattern on both and did a slightly shortened version of the round toe. I like the look much better.

About the yarn: It is Collinette Jitterbug (fingering weight) in Marbles 88 colorway. I love this yarn! ! ! Feels nice, looks nice, works up beautifully! I bought another skein and have my eye on a couple more colors. I love the way it gives the appearance of a flowering vine on a trellis. I don't usually get so excited over socks.

These are for a very creative friend who is always sending me neat stuff. Her b_day is a few days off so I've got to get these babies in the mail. Had so much "down time" this month I almost finished my April socks in March--however, I ran out of yarn. Looks like they will be April socks after all!

I'm truly enjoying seeing everyone's socks and gaining lots of inspiration. Keep up the good work!

Hello!

Hey Everybody!
I'm new to the kal and wanted to drop in and say hello and tell ya'll that I LOVE your socks! Socknitting is such fun and I'm happy to be in this kal with others who agree!
I've knit a few socks this month....but they don't count this month since I just signed up, but I thought that I would share the patterns and pictures with ya'll. My "official" socks begin in April. LOL, I'm sure there will not be a problem with my ongoing socknitting since my husband told me that he wants all of his socks to be handknit and I'm more than happy to do so!
I designed the Guitar Man Socks for my husband, I happened to finish them on the same day that he got his new guitar, so the name just came together... He loves each pair that I knit for him so much that it makes me want to knit more and more for him! I gave him his Mock Around the Clock Socks a couple of weeks ago And then I just finished my daughter's Shannon's Lace Socks a few days ago for her Easter basket (lol, these are for an adult, not a child, even though she's grown I still make an Easter basket for her!). LOL, I'm currently working on some other things for her basket, but these are the only socks...what can I say....she'd be so disappointed if she didn't get a basket, LOL!
I'm looking forward to this kal and getting to know ya'll!
Happy Knitting!

I really loved working with this yarn. I put all the details on my blog.

March Socks

Socky socks for March: I made two pairs, well, technically, a pair and half.

   Yukon Leaves socks - this was a product of multiple setbacks. Started with a failure, frogged and restart. Then had to retract several rows because of one stupid mistake (one stitch was purled when it should have been a knit stitch), then my needle broke. After putting it on hold for nearly a month, I finally got back to it and finished, so tada, here it is. I used my brand spanking new Addi Lace needle to finish the socks and I gotta tell you, it's fantastic! I love the flexible cable (more flexible than typical Addi Turbo) and sharp enough tips, not like life-threatening sharpness. It definitely replaced Addi Turbo for my default go-to sock needles. Love it.

And who could say no to knitting a pair of mindless stockinette socks? Again, done with Addi Lace, the yarn used is Sassy Stripes from Cascade Yarns with simple cuff down construction.

The yarn was picked out for the intended recipient so I hope she likes it. If she doesn't, well... *shakes fist*

That's it for now.

March Socks - Second pair

A pair of green socks - for March. It is so nice to have new socks.

The pattern is No Worries from Sirius Knitting.
The green yarn is Socka and the colored yarn is Regia.

They were knit on three different size needles. I had to frog the entire foot of the second sock because I changed to the wrong needles. Of course I didn't notice until I started the toe.

March Madness!

I started these socks for the Sock a Month KAL, but I don't think I'll get them done for March. I've done pretty well keeping up so far, knitting a sock a month, but I've run out of yarn for this pair and I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on the second skein until after March. The pattern is from a past Interweave Knits issue, and I used Lion Brand's Micro yarn, which I really like. It's wonderfully soft and machine washable - a MUST for socks. However, it's a bit pricey for me, so I like to purchase it at Joann's with the 40% off coupon. I hope the next Joann's flyer comes soon so I can finish these socks!

Itty Bitty Socks for March

These will likely be my last completed pair for March, and boy were they fun!

These are baby socks of my own design, custom knit for the son of some friends who was just born last Thursday. All of the details are available over here.

Representing with Socks

I thought it appropriate that a post should be created for Stephanie's Traveling Sock and its entourage. The Traveling Sock is at the 6 o'clock position; mine is at the 3 on top of the hot peppers sock bag.

What was even more fun was that we put our knitted sock feet in around the circle. Did anyone else go?

Swipper No Swipping!

I know I already have one pair done for March but I thought I would post the second pair I finished while on vacation.

(me sitting in airport in Denver waiting for plane)

I named these the Never Ending Socks as it seemed I would never get them done. No matter how much I tried to make time to work on them I constantly had to put them down to work on something else more urgent.

Furthermore, these socks were actually supposed to be for me! So of course I had to finish them!
However, you know how some things don't turn out the way you want them too? I was showing my mom the socks the other day to point out the flaw in the stripping.


Can you see it? Look closely, notice the brown? That is right, missing an entire brown row! I didn't notice this until the entire sock was finished. Then, considering that I was using the stripes as the measurement for when to start my toe decrease, one sock is a little smaller than the other. I was willing to live with this little mistake to finally have my first pair of handknit socks but my mom saw it another way.

Like Swipper the Fox, she quickly reached out her hand and snagged the socks out of mine and shoved them in her robe...declaring them hers! All she needed to say next was "You're Too Late! You'll never find your precious socks now!"

One one hand, I am totally flattered; but on the other, I am totally pissed! I wanted those socks! Oh well, what is done is done. She did put the socks on immediately and let me at least take these pictures of them before she took them away forever. So, my 2nd March socks have come and gone, just like my first March socks.

Maybe I will get to keep April's socks. I just won't show ANYBODY!

Yarn: Regia Jacquard

Man, I keep forgetting to blog here! :(

I guess my Feb socks won't count since it's um.. the end of March, but here are the socks I managed to finish:


Feb Socks: Finished 2/23/07

I've also finished 2 pairs of socks this month (and hopefully one more by Saturday!).


March: Mad Cow Socks: Sock Madness Round 1. Finished 3/14


March: Jitterbug Socks..finished 3/15 or 3/16

March socks done

I finished my march socks, they're the Cable Footies from the One Skein book, I love them but they are too small, I barely had enough yarn too finish the pair, I used KnitPicks Swish in Capri (2 balls) when I make them again I would do one more cable round on the leg and 1 maybe 2 more on the foot for them too fit better, my foot is an 8 1/2 and they are the tiniest bit too small, my sister has a birthday in April, they will go too her :)

March Socks 2 and 3

Up to my third pair of finished socks this month.
The first is a pair of magic stripes in plain of st. st. short row heel and toe up following WendyKnits! with a figure 8 cast-on. I gave these to my boyfriend's mom. She hasn't worn them yet, but she says they fit snugly.


These were knit for a birthday present for my boyfriend's Mema. I love this yarn, it's francispatricksales yarn off of eBay that Lime and Violet mentioned on their podcast recently. I'm making another pair for me with some Lorna's Laces Amethyst Strip to stretch the bit left over. I managed to stretch the pretty yarn out because I knit the majority of the foot from the Lorna's Laces.


Lacey of Random Stitches

3rd Pair

I'm on a roll!


I love the feel and weight of these. I also like the way the stripes don't match, but it's not obvious.

My March Socks

Here are my finished socks for March. They'll be going in the box for Socks for Soldiers.

March socks are done!

Hi everyone! Just finished my March socks.
Yarn: Lorna's Laces in Black Purl
Pattern: Roza's socks by Grumperina in the Spring 07 Interweave Knits
Needles: Knit Picks size 0
No modifications, but I probably should have added a few stitches. They're pretty snug. Nice easy pattern.

I'm off to work on April's socks!

March Socks

I have two pair of sock completed for March. Both knit for Socktopia. The green ones I test knit, the pattern was released to the group this month so I have permission to post them. The second pair was knit for this past weekends' knit off contest. I knit these in 14.5 hours. They are knit in Trekking XXL

Those Funky Monkeys

These are my second pair for March: the colors were so bright I couldn't stop knitting. I know, it's incredible that I managed to figure out how to read a lace chart (thank you Shelley, Tanya, Laura, Carry, MissyJoon, Anni, and Wendy for the encouragement and guidance). So these have quite a few mods, and they are a surprise present for my sister, shhhhhhhhh!

Yarn: Superwash Sportweight in colorway Fruit Pop from Fearless Fibers
Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A.
Mods: Knit toe up with magic cast on with no knot, magic loop on one 2.5mm circular, increase up to 56 stitches, 1.5 repeats across the top of the foot, mirrored for left and right foot, short row heel, 3.5 repeats around ankle, half repeat on the inside/back of each leg also mirrored, five total repeats in length of foot, five in ankle. The sizing mods were for the sportweight yarn, otherwise they would have been too big and I knit them toe-up so I could squeeze the maximum number of pattern repeats out of the yarn.
Finished Size: Women's 8.5



Brass Monkey, That funky Monkey
Got this pattern that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey - here's how you feel
Put your left leg down - your right leg up
Tilt your head back - Finish knitting 'em up

March Socks

Hi everyone, I finished my socks for march.

I really love the colours.

yarn: Opal Hundertwasser "Silver Spiral" 6 ply

size: 42/43

More details on my blog

Claudia.

Here are my socks for March. These socks fall into so many groups that it is not funny. They are a part of Project Spectrum, the Loopy Ewe Challenge, this KAL, and I think Socktopia. Oh, yeah, I forgot these are also a Sensational Sock KAL project. The yarn is Sweet Georgia in Still Water and the pattern is the Mock Rib from Sensational Socks.

These are not the only socks that I finished this month just the only pair.

More Inside Out! Socks

I think this is my 3rd pair for March! A record for me.
I know I've seen a few posted so I'll keep this short and sweet. Here are my STR Club socks:

Fun to make because they were my first toe ups, first short row toe, first short row heel.

March - all done :)

I've finnished the march-pattern in theSokker2007 KAL, all done and ready for April :) These are called Brigid and it's a free pattern! I knit mine in Rubin superwash, on 4mm needles. I used aprroximately 80g to a pair of socks size 36 (european). These will probably end up as a gift to a little girl (with big feet). If I were to knit these again I'd probably make some alterations, like knitting the aran pattern the whole sock!

fraternal twins

I just finished my first pair of the month. I'm just not much in a sock-knitting mood lately so it took me way longer than normal to finish these. That's probably why they are fraternal twins- you can't really see it in the photo, but I messed up the cable pattern and they are not identical. I don't mind though. The yarn was I think some Lana Grossa, but the ball band is long gone...

March Monkeys

Here are my Monkey socks (the sock for March for the Yahoo! Sockamaniac Sockalong Group). They're in KP Essential dusk with size 1 needles. Surprisingly for me, I followed the pattern almost exactly. Though... I did an extra rnd of gusset decreases to get a smaller circumference for the foot. (So, there are 2 fewer sts on the sole than the instep.) For the toe decreases on the sole part of the toe, I followed the pattern as written. But, for the toe top, I instead did another repeat of the Monkey pattern without the yos, then knit it plain until there were the same number of sts on top and sole, and finally followed the regular decrease pattern. That's why the top of the toe pulls in a bit. But, I wanted to try something different.

2 More for March

I have complete two more pairs of socks this month. First is one of my DS's favorites. These were knitted in 4-Seasons Hot Sock yarn in 927 Jacquard Rio.



My next finish was for the Socktopia KAL knit-off. A pattern was released on Saturday, and we have until this evening to finish the pair of socks. I finished mine last night. This is my first marathon KAL, and it was a blast. The pattern is called "Eleanor" and I used Sockotta color #15. I tried making identical socks, as I love how the first came out (sock on bottom), but found I couldn't duplicate the pooling, so I gave up and figured a fraternal pair would just have to do.



Thanks for looking!

March Socks Completed

I was knitting two different pairs of socks this month, and I finally realized that I had better concentrate on just one of them if I was going to finish by the end of the month! So, here it is, my first pair of socks designed by Nancy Bush! These are the Child's First Sock in Shell Pattern, from Knitting Vintage Socks. I used Lorna's Laces shepherd sock yarn in the sunshine colorway and 2.5 mm Addi Turbos, 2s2c. In the beginning the pattern felt challenging, but as I got further into it, I got into a groove. I'll definitely be knitting more of Nancy Bush's patterns. These will make a very special gift for a certain someone.

Finished with 6 days to spare!!!!!

Wow! I actually finished my March Socks with 6 days to spare! (Though February was a short month!) Now I can start my Socks That Rock Club Socks!

These socks were knit in Sundara's Petals Collection Yarn in the Bird of Paradise Colorway with size 2 dpns. I used Craftoholic's Orchid Pattern. I love Sundara's Sock yarn....and I am super thrilled she has decided to extend the Petals Collection for another 6 months! If you love sock clubs (like me!) and you like flower themed shipments.....go sign up....you will not be disappointed!

Anybody doing Sock Madness, is there a way for non-participants to get copies of the patterns? I am really enjoying watching from the sidelines...and love the patterns I have seen!

some socks for you

I've been forgetting to post.

I have some March socks for you all.

These are mad-cow socks from Sock Madness. You've probably seen them on the Sock Madness blog.

I had to call it at 12:33PM Central Time when I peeked at the blog and discovered the division was full.

March Baby socks

My May socks are done:

Aren't they cute? They are for one of my husband's coworkers:

Just in case you thought that they were booties, here they are from the side. They have a bitty short row heel and toe shaping. They are from the Dale of Norway Soft Treasures book and are made from Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino.


Here is one other sock that I have finished out of my own Lavendersheep handpainted yarn called Mine, Don't Touch! I love them a lot and can't wait to knit the second one. Unfortunately though, I have to put it off for a little bit since I am making socks for my husband for his birthday. He has 11" calfs and a foot that is 10.5" long! Hopefully I can get them done on time. Though, shhhh, it's a surprise.

Friday Harbor Socks are Done!

I finished my March socks last week, but didn’t get to take pictures until today. They fit just fine, and are so, so soft.

On Wednesday, I started my socks for April. I’m making the Jaywalker socks in Reynolds Swizzle. I might be the last person left who hasn’t made these socks! I’ve got a few inches of leg done, and they’re fun, and I’m just starting to see the stripes zig and zag.

Fetzensocken Socks--All Done

I finished my March socks on the 18th, on a flight home from Santa Ana to Seattle. Said sock had been visiting family in So Cal, and of course, detoured to Disneyland and Huntington Gardens.
The pattern is Fetzensocken; the yarn is Koigu Merino in a screaming bright red, which I love (looks a little orangy in the pics, but they are Christmas red in real life) Now knitting away on some mindless Opal patterned socks.

March Socks

Hi, everyone!

I just joined because of my friend Sheila! I think this group will be just what I need (along with Sheila) to help me get one pair of socks completed each month.

I just finished a pair of Monkey socks on Tues to complete the challenge for this month.



I knit these on two circulars on size one. The yarn is Claudia Handpainted in the colorway Ink. WONDERFUL yarn!

March (Mad)tini socks

Hi all,
I too am a part of the craziness that is sock madness.
After seeing all the mad cows that swamped this blog..I decided to wait for round 2 and post pics of those instead. (Looks like I am the first..phew. =) )
Don't mind me..the competion is getting to me.
In less then 2 day's time (more like 30 hours)..I started and finished these babies:

They are knit in Lorna's Laces Sport in Camelot.

But myself and fellow competitors agree that they remind us of Snickers candy bars.

Happy knitting to all! I am going to be resting my hands for the next 24 hours! =)

Newbie & socks

Hi all! I'm new around these parts and well, my socks are 'almost' done, but we are leaving on holiday for a week & I thought I'd better get a quick blurb in saying 'me too, I made socks' ... camera is already packed so alas, no picture yet ...

Father & Son socks

I just had to post my 4th and 5th pairs of socks knit for March. See what two weeks off from school can do for a person. Lot's of knitting and driving the kids from here to there and back again:D For more details come on over to my blog.

Happy knitting, Abigail 1870 pearl

March Socks!

I've completed my Yarrow Ribbed socks from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks. I used Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock light weight in Cobalt Bloom. I really like them, but they are a little thick to wear with shoes. I suppose they'll just be house socks, but I love how they fit! I used a short row heel for these and I think this is now my favorite heel. They fit so much better than socks I've knit with gussets and all that jazz.

Pattern: Yarrow Ribbed socks from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock light weight in Cobalt Bloom
Needles: 5, US 2 Bamboo DPN's
Time: Started 2/8/07, Completed 3/23/07
Notes: I like how they stripe. I didn't plan it that way, it just sort of happened in a striped spiral and they even matched on accident! I like the short row heel and short toes. Seems every time I make a pair of socks they keep getting better and I'm finding out what really works for me.

Marching along

:D :D I have finished my March socks! WooHoo!!! I'm excited as this pair took less time than the last pair! :D :D

The specs:

Tammy's March Socks
Yarn: Self-dyed yarn. Spunky Eclectic superwash/nylon sock yarn (sadly no longer available)
Needles: KnitPicks US 0
Dates: February 27 - March 21
Pattern: Cookie A's Hedra
Mods: I don't care for socks at 7-8 spi. These are 10 spi, and so I added stitches. The foot is 72 stitches around. The instep is 35 the bottom is 37sts. I decreased after the heel 2 stitches to get 70 sts around. Hedra is a 10 st repeat. Also did it toe up. I LOVE the Hedra Pattern (although it's just Little Arrowhead Lace with some ribbing, way cool that she figured that out!)! I also did some Eye of the partridge in the ball of the foot area (after the increases) but didn't do it down far enough, so I'll start later for my next pair. I did EoP for the heel as well. :D

Forgot to sign! :D

This pattern was fairly easy, if you follow the chart religiously. I did make a few mistakes and had to tink back, but they were worth fixing!
Pattern: Pomatomus, from Knitty
Yarn: Fortissima Colori Socka Color (unremembered colour...I'll have to check that out)
I've already started another pair...Friday Harbor from Knitting on the Road. Since they are DK-weight, they might even get done before the end of the month!

Marching Socks

Hi--I joined the KAL earlier this month, and finished my first official pair of socks this weekend. They started out as the February socks from Blue Moon Fiber Arts' sock club, but the ankle was too tight to fit over my heel, so I adapted the cable pattern so it wouldn't pull in as much, and now they fit over my (apparently gigantic) heels just fine. Here they are:
I describe the changes I made to the cable pattern a bit more on my blog--and there's picture of the socks with the cable pattern as it was pre-rip. I really like the short row, garter stitch heel and toe in the pattern--usually I do a figure 8 CO, then increase every other row (because I'm too lazy to figure out my gauge before casting on for socks), and a stockinette stitch short row heel, so it was fun to do something a little different.

March Socks

I finished these last week, but it's taken me a while to get them off my daughter's feet so I could take a picture. Garter rib in Lorna's Laces Lorikeet.

More details should go up soon on my blog, but in the meantime you can come over and check out my latest published story, which features a lot of knitting.

The Jolly Ewe's March sock

Here they are...my first completed SAM3 socks

Pattern: Anastasia socks from Pepperknit These are toe ups

Yarn: Koigu KPPM in p610-33

Needles: Size US 0, 24 inch circulars from knit picks options

Thought: This is a great pattern and I would do it again. The sewn bind off was too tight, I will use another, looser bind off if I do these again.

March soks completed

I love the sock a monthalong. It's really helping me achieve my targets of a pair of socks a month. I finished my March socks with plenty of time to spare! These socks are for hubby

The yarn - Sweet Georgia Speed Demon sock in Rusted (steel grey, charcoal grey and chocolate). I love this yarn and I will miss her while she goes on her sabbatical. Please come back soon.

The pattern - Thuja from Knitty Winter 2005
Modifications - I went down 1 needle size to 3.5mm for a better fit and cast on 52 stitches. They fit perfectly I am happy to add!!

Coffee socks?? Huh?? No, I'm not insane. I have a perfectly sane reason to call these coffee socks! They're made from Plymouth's Sockotta cotton blend, and they contain all of my favorite colors! I got the yarn from a swap on Swap-bot.com. (I love that place!)

My feuding and badly behaved female cats had a fight on the table next to my bed and proceeded to knock an entire cup of coffee on them (the finished sock, the partial sock and the rest of the skein....they didn't waste a drop!) before I had gotten to the heel of the second one. Luckily I don't use sugar in my coffee so I didn't have to worry about ants! However, when they dried the OVERWHELMING ODOR of old coffee was all over the remaining skein!! Yuck!! I don't even know what the colors will look like after I finally wash them. I am so glad to be done with these!!!

Thanks for looking.....everyone's socks look great!!

Crazy Stripes

These are my March socks. They've been finished for several weeks now but I've been a lazy blogger. There's just been too much other stuff going on.


Pattern: Just a basic vanilla sock with a short-row heel
Yarn: Regia Crazy Stripes
Measurements: Made to fit a women's US8
Started: Feb ?, 2007
Finished: March 12, 2007
Other Details: Matching stripes are not that important to me which is evident from these socks. I thought, since they're crazy stripes, matching would be crazy.

March Socks (Oh yeah, and hi.)

I just joined SAM, so 'Hi!' and thanks for the invite.

Here are my March socks, knitted with Trekking XXL (in Pacifico? Not sure, the ball band is long gone) on size 2 needles. They're pretty simple -- just a K3-P1 rib.

More details are in this entry on my blog.

Thanks for looking!

Second for March

Here is another pair for March. I call them my Goosebump socks! The yarn is Nature's Palette Fingering Merino. It's very soft, and a little glossy, but the dye turned my fingers blue and the yarn was a little too splitty. I don't have negative feelings about the yarn, but don't think I would purchase it again. If anyone is interested, the pattern is posted on my blog.

My March Socks

Yarn is Tofutsies, which I absolutely loved knitting with. More details can be found on this entry over at my blog.

Meanwhile, I have two more pairs on the needles and am off to a knitting retreat this weekend. I'm hoping I'll complete another pair by the end of the month.

Finally...

This is probably the longest it has taken me to knit a pair of socks. Certainly not a difficult pattern. More like a difficult schedule. Lunch hour knitting can only do so much. Even so, I really like this pair. It's made from the Sockret Pal colorway from To Knit Perchance To Dream (whose yarn, by the way, is being sold at The Loopy Ewe's site! And her Esty shop too.)
I love the way this yarn pools. It's awesome and anyone who saw my knitting them commented on their brightness. The yarn is so soft and warm. It's one of the best yarns I have worked with to date.

March Socks -- done

2 pair of socks done this month -- one for me and one for my husband. Mine are Broadripple in the blue Fortissima, knit on: 3.25 mm needles I got the yarn in the markdown bin at the LYS as it was the only one left in that dye-lot, knit them with short legs, and still ran out of yarn ... had to go back and use the scraps left over from matching up the pattern sock to sock -- annoying to just be a yard too little! Ahh well, I still think they look good, and someone might like them - if they weren't too small for me, I'd keep them !

My husband says he says they feel like they were custom made for his feet! The Yarn: Austeman Step, colourway: 03 - Gras, 3 mm needles (except for 2 inches of cuff were knit with 3.25 mm).

I like the feel of the Step, but the patterning is weird -- as you may have noticed in the pictures, the repeats are not the same from sock to sock. I worked one from the centre of the ball out, and the other from the outside inward to make sure I had enough yarn, because when I had finished one sock, it looked like I had just then reached the end of the first repeat , but you can see the swaths of colour are not even close to the same length/size (look at the length of the brown repeats and the white and pink repeats as well! one sock has very long washes of colour, the other has "brief" ones!) - the washes seem to be placed randomly (so if you are someone who "needs" identical socks, I would pick a different colour for your socks!). Time: 16 days

Tiny Socks for March

I'm hoping to also get a pair of 'grown-up' socks done for the month (I'm on the heel of the second sock, so there is still a chance!). But, I was digging through one of my drawers at work, and found one little baby sock that I started last summer. I decided I needed to finish these up! The pattern is 'Heel and Toe Socks' from 50 Baby Booties to Knit. The yarn is leftover Schaffer Anne (I think?) that my friend Amanda gave me a long while back. I think I like the other baby sock pattern I found better - but can't deny these are cute!

More Duet Sock yarn!

This is my second pair of socks for March. A very quick knit while on vacation in Puerto Rico last week.

Pattern: My own toe-up Magic loop
Yarn: Duet Sock yarn in Lemonade Stand by Swell Yarns

The color used is a very fun and springy color. Usually I stay as far away from yellow as I can, but these I could not resist, especially with the contrasting pink.

You can read more about these socks and see some pictures of my vacation to PR on my blog.

Done!

I'll have to practice taking pictures of my own feet.

Yarn: Mountain Bearfoot in Wild Raspberry (Knitpicks Essentials for heels and toes), on size 0 needles. Short-row everything, 2x2 ribbed cuffs (they roll a bit where I started the ribbing, maybe I should have put some on the foot too).

I also finished these Knitpicks Cape Cod socks in March, but since I'd knitted most of them in February I wanted to challenge myself to do another pair all in March.

-Rahime (Prayer for Rain)

Just so I'm not dashing in under the wire, here is my first pair of March socks--Monkeys by Cookie A, in a colorway from Miss Lime's etsy shop.

Ta da!

Here are my first pair of socks for SAM3.

I only signed up 10 days ago, so I knew I wouldn't get my Monkey socks finished by the end of the month (I'm SOOOO slow) so I knitted a pair of baby socks, finished on Sunday evening. These are for my cousin's new baby.

Pattern: Meg by Megan Humphreys
Yarn: Opal Rodeo in colour 1156
Needles: 2.5mm bamboo DPNs
Modifications: picked up 8 stitches each side of heel flap, added one extra decrease row when shaping gusset.

100 Gram Ribs

I think I forgot to post the first pair of socks I finished this month, so here's the second pair. They're made from 100g of sport weight yarn, feature a 2x2 rib, short row heel, and were knit toe-up with a picot bind off to make even the top super-stretchy. I also made another pair of socks like this, and more details on both pair of socks are in today's post on my blog. ;)

Cow Madness Strikes Again

Another pair of socks for March! (People, this is unprecedented.)


Project Specs:
Pattern: Mad Cow Socks by Jennifer Brooks Young from Sock Madness 2007 Round 1
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill in Burgundy and Northern Lights
Needles: 5 US size 1 (2.25 mm) metal dpns for the foot and let, US size 0 (2 mm) for the cuff
Size: CO 8 stitches for a toe-up sock, increasing up to 56 stitches
Started: 10 March 2007
Finished: 15 March 2007
Pattern Mods: No modifications were allowed for the competition! After I was out, however, I doubled the length of the cuff and used one needle size smaller to work. I used Grumperina's bind-off.

Personally I like the fabric that results from size 0 needles than size 1!

More glamour shots on the blog. :)

March Socks

I finished my March socks. These are the Cabled Footies from One Skein. I love making them. They are so quick and easy. I used Artyarns Handpaint Stripes in color 153. I would highly recommend the yarn and the pattern. This is the second pair I have made and I love them. They are for my Sockret Pal so I am off to mail them!

March Socks are Finished

March socks are finished. This is my first pair of socks from the new book, Favorite Socks The yarn is Lisa Souza Sage Sock! Merino knit with size US 1/2.50mm Knitpicks circulars.

I also knit two pairs of the Monkey socks, finishing the second pair in March. After using a multicolor yarn for the first Monkeys, I thought the pattern detail would show better in a solid color. There are photos of both pairs on my blog for anyone who is interested.

I love seeing all of the beautiful socks everyone is knitting!

March socks!

I finished my March socks with plenty of time to spare:



Pattern: Ripple Weave sock by Charlene Schurch, from the Fall 06 issue of Vogue Knitting.
Yarn: Fleece Artist Merino. It was too busy for the pattern, but I still like the way it came out.
Needles: 2.75 mm bamboo DPNs. I usually use 2.25 mm for socks, but I wanted big fat ones. They're very comfy.

March Socks Done

My March socks are done.... These were made for my eldest son, Chris.

I named them 'Commando Socks' for the colourway of the yarn used.

The pattern is my own, but it's just a variation of double rib.

Auntiemichal's March Socks are Done!

Wendy's Toe-Up Socks pattern with my own experimental ribbing (K3, P1, K1, P1) and EZ's sewn bind-off. Knit Picks Essential Tweed in Flint on size zero needles. The yarn was a bit splitty on the sharp bamboo needles I used. This is my first pair of toe-up socks and I haven't decided whether or not I like this method; the jury's out until I wear them for a while. Since I have small feet, I've had plenty of yarn left over on all the socks I've knit so far (only four pair!).

Added note: sorry about the picture added late and the duplicate entry. I don't know what happened (blogger weirdness? operator error?) but hopefully it's fixed now.

Monkeys

My first pair of socks off the needles in march are Monkey. I love them!

March socks. Green, of course!

Siljas socks for march.

Stats:
yarn: Opal Uni 6-ply
pattern: March pattern in Sokker 2007 (the pattern is no longer available at the site it was on) They are called Brigid.
Needles: 3,5 mm dpns
Modifications: I made the socks longer on the leg. I planned to do more cable-repeats, but gave up as the pattern bugged me big time bacuse it was not symmetric. I like patterns that are
symmetric for some reason. Also used a star-toe.

March Socks Done but pictured on blog

My March socks are the Feb Kit from the BMFA Socks That Rock Club. In the interest of not putting a "spoiler" on this site I would like to ask you to click over to my blog (www.castingaway.wordpress.com) to see these. Maybe once everyone has received their sock kits I can edit this post to contain the picture.

Thanks!!

Count me in for March!!

I am probably one of the last to make the famous "Jaywalker" socks, by Grumperina. They were all the rage a year or so ago - and after making them, I can understand why! It was a fun knit, a perfect fit, and has produced what I am sure will be a very wearable and practical sock! I am very happy with these.

I used Lisa Souza "Sock!" yarn in "Graphite" colorway. I have once again used my trusty 2.25 Pony Pearl DPNS. (Someday I am going to try circulars - I promise!!)

Another pair of March Socks

I finished a second pair of socks for March. I've been referring to this pair as "The Socks from Hell", aka My Dad's Birthday Socks. Why Socks from Hell? Because I used Regia Bamboo and 1) it's very splitty and 2) the colorway is such that it looks blurry all the time. Hard to see the stitches as I worked on them. I do love the finished product though. These socks are incredibly soft; even softer than the Regia Silk socks I made a while ago. Will I use this yarn again? Not likely.

Finished ~ March #1

Yarn: Lorna's Laces - Shepherd Sock ~ Lakeview

Needles: 2.5mm bamboo & 2.25mm birch DPNs

Pattern: The pattern is based on Gentleman's Fancy Sock from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks, but I made some alterations. Instead of doing leg decreases, I started with the # of stitches you decrease to and used a larger needle size, then switching to the smaller needles for the foot. I did my regular heel (with an eye of partridge heel flap) and toe. I had planned to continue the pattern onto the foot, but then decided it looked better plain.

Thoughts: I really enjoyed knitting with Lorna's Laces and I'll definitely be using it again. I've used this pattern before and it's fun to knit. The socks are nice and comfy too!

Edit: Oops, forgot to add...

Not quite there but I couldn't resist showing them off.

Knitting has been going slowly this month. For some reason my family has expected me to cook, clean house and do laundry. Go figure. But my socks are almost ready to wear. They should make their first public appearance this weekend. I really like this pattern. It is a fun knit.

Have the yarn for my next socks wound into a ball and waiting impatiently for Monkey's completion.

My March Socks

Here are my first socks for this knitalong. I started these socks in the middle of February and finished them yesterday, 15th March.

I am on a stash busting mission at the moment so they were knitted using Sirdar Country Style 4ply on 3mm needles, with glass beads knitted into the cuff. This is just a basic sock pattern but the lovely soft blue yarn and the glass beads make them a bit special.

Three pairs for March!

First up is the Sock Madness pair, done in Austermann Step (the brown/blue) and a heathered blue. I had a few contrast problems, but it was sunny yesterday when I was playing with my kids in the back yard, so I could work on them. I'd have been done a half day sooner, but I had to rip out half a sock on Saturday afternoon because I didn't like the colours I'd chosen. So these were started late Saturday night, and completed at 10:30 last night.


The socknitters list had been discussing the strong heel, and I had the Knitters magazine with the article in it. But I then googled "strong heel" and found this pattern for Amy's Socks. What I wanted to experiment with was how the strong heel would affect the colour sequence of a striped sock. The answer: not much at all. It's a pretty neat pattern because it's not your usual heel, and there's no picking up of stitches. (Though I did pick up a couple to fill in the corner where the heel was turned.) Plus I got to try out an eye of partridge heel, which was new to me. These are now off to my sister-in-law, who admired them while I was knitting them up.

And these are my first socks of March, but I've only just finished the picot cast-off because I put them aside for Sock Madness. They're cashmere yarn, and oh so soft. Basic pattern, with the addition of the Dublin Bay pattern up the leg.

March Socks

So I finished my March socks (Wonky Lace socks from Trek Casts On), but forgot to take a picture before sending them off to the recipient for a first birthday. Of course. You'll just have to take my word on it.

I've started another pair- Dublin Bay- with some Opal yarn. So far, so good! I don't think I'll finish until April, so it's good I got those March ones in!

-Julia

And the socks came Marching on

Apologies for the terrible pun - I'm in that kind of a mood :)


Anyway


My March socks are all done comme ca:

The yarn is Opal 6 ply, the colour is something H gave me for Christmas and the pattern uses the Socks of Doom rib with a round heel and a standard toe - very comfort knitting.

I've called them my colours of spring socks because they have all the colours of summer but keep me warm in the spring!

March Socks

Here are my March Socks! I knit them for Sock Madness. They are Mad Cow Socks, in Lorna's Laces Navy and Watercolor. I knit them over five days, but I did most of one of the socks in one day. I didn't make my bracket, but it was fun anyway.

I did make January socks, but I didn't post them and I did not manage to finish the February socks at all. I just kept starting over again with different yarns. I guess I was creatively blocked.

Now I'm going back to work on my Koigu Monkey Socks for Project Spectrum 2.0.

Second pair for March

Just in time before I go to the hospital, I managed to finish my second pair of socks for the month of March.

The sock is called Dancing into May and the pattern can be found in Friendly Socks book 2

My socks were knit in one solid colour: Knit Picks Gloss, 70% Merino, 30% silk, in the colour Concord Grape.

I'll take a week off now - as I mentioned before I have to be in the hospital on Tuesday, as on that day the doctors are going to induce labour; hopefully the baby will come safe to this world on that day. At least it gives me time to think what to knit for the month of April :-)

March Mermaids!

Though these were cast on in January, knit mostly in February, I am counting them as my March socks because I finished them on March 9th. They are the Mermaid Socks from Lucy Neatby's Cool Socks, Warm Feet book. It's a spiral rib pattern, with garter stitch short-row heel. I really loved making them, though I had some issues -- user error, not pattern error. You can read my blog for more details if you like.

Got Sock Stash?

I know that many of you out there have sock stash that you're never going to knit... Want to help a great cause (SAM3) with your extra sock yarn? Please consider donating some stash for SAM3 prizes!

If you have some stash you can spare, please e-mail me at knittinmom at gmail dot com. I'll send you my address and you can mail me your prize yarn. You will be thanked in the blog sidebar for your generosity as well as earning the adoration of hundreds of SAM3 participants along with some good sock karma.

The more prize yarn we can gather, the better the final prize baskets will be! Thanks, sockers!

Worsted Weight Socks

I am going to be teaching my local fiber guild sock knitting in about a month. Since the meetings are fairly short (about 2 hours) I was thinking about having them knit short socks (like maybe 7 rows before starting the heel flap) on worsted weight yarn. But I have not knit socks with worsted weight yarn. Any suggestions for worsted weight yarn suitable for socks? What size needles should we use? Any good patterns out there?

Thanks so much for you help.

March Socks - Making Progress

Here’s an update on my socks for March. They are the Friday socks from “Knitting on the Road” by Nancy Bush. I’m not sure yet how I feel about these socks. Most of the time, I don’t follow a pattern, and I just knit plain socks. I have a standard stitch count and needle size for sock yarn, and another for heavier yarn and needles. The few times I’ve follow specific patterns, the results have been mixed. I’m just not convinced yet that these socks are going to stay up, despite the ribbing on the back of the leg.

I already have yarn and pattern picked out for my April socks, though, so I need to get these done, and move on! Stay tuned!

March Socks

Green socks for St. Patrick's Day!


Pattern: Rib and Cable Socks by Nancy Bush, Interweave Knits, Fall 2005
Yarn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot, Juniper colorway
Needles: Lantern Moon Rosewood, size 1 DPNs
Cast On: 1-March, 2007
Finished On: 10-March, 2007
Deviations from pattern: The directions call for a 3 inch cuff but I have chunky legs so I shortened the cuff by an inch. Otherwise, I followed the pattern as written.

They're (finally!) finished

Here are my March socks. Finally. I feel like I've been working on these forever. You may not be able to tell from the picture, but these are big. Very big. They're for my brother, who wears a size 15 shoe.
They were done with KnitPicks Essentials Tweed in Inca Gold; 2 at a time on 2 KnitPicks classic circulars size 1.

More Mad Socks

Here are my March socks: Mad Cow socks from Sock Madness. I wonder how many of these that will turn up here, I've already seen a fair number :-)


Cast-on: Saturday noon, cast-off: Sunday evening. I'm pretty amazed that I made a pair of socks in a weekend! More details on my blog.

March socks!

These socks have been finished since March 2nd. They have been so comfy and I LOVE wearing them so much I haven't taken a picture till yesterday.

The yarn is Patons and the pattern is A Child's First Sock by Nancy Bush.

The leg is shorter than the pattern calls for, but I still LOVE them!

March Sock Finished

March socks finished! They're Fortissima Socka, dark grey 1410. This was a color request for a gift. The pattern is Charlene Schurch's 2/2 rib done two socks at once on one circular needle, size 2 addi, 7 1/2 st/in. Plain, but fits very well. This heel using 3 garter st. each side is lovely. Eternal question: is the fussiness of the heel on one circ worth the great feeling of completing both socks at once?! On the sidebar, I think I'm Laura D, so I'll sign off as that as well as my auto sig,

Monkey Madness

Not one but two pairs of socks already....

First, Monkeys


Pattern - Monkey by Cookie A. at www.knitty.com
Yarn - Superwash merino hand-dyed by Scout www.scoutsswag.com in a one-off colourway specially for Sockret Pal swap
Needles - 5mm bamboo dpn's
Cast on first sock 15th Jan and completed in a couple of days, then something of a hiatus before starting the second sock on 2nd March. Completed in the pub at knitting group 5th March.

second - yep, it's another pair of Mad Cows for Sock Madness!


Pattern - Mad Cow by Jennifer Booker Young
Yarn -Opal Uni in a sky blue, Opal Petticoat shade 1295
Needles - 2.5mm bamboo dpn's
Cast on noon Sat 10th March completed 1.15pm Sun 11th March

I may well have some more socks by the end of the month as I am in the midst of a pair of socks commissioned by a friend and also Snicket Socks in Posh Yarn received from my Sockret Pal.

Even More Mad Cows from Sock Madness

My March socks are done, courtesy of round one of Sock Madness:Pattern: Mad Cow socks, available to Sock Madness participants
Yarns: Dalegarn Baby Ull (solid navy blue)
Perchance to Knit superwash Kona Merino in the Cha Cha colorway (variegated)
Needles: size 1 circulars, using the magic loop method

This was a personal record for me to knit a pair of socks in two days. Besides the ribbed cuff, it was all stockinette, so that helped a lot.

As an added bonus, I knit these socks in the Feb/March Project Spectrum colors of blue, white, and grey. Three birds with one stone! Can you stand it?

Congratulations to all the participants of SAM3 who advanced beyond round one in Sock Madness.

2nd pair of March Socks

I started these waiting for my Blue Moon Socks That Rock Club yarn to arrive.
I figured... if I start a new pair of socks, the yarn will get here -- right?
Backfired on me.
Because I finished the first sock before the yarn arrived.
So... then I had something that could no longer be easily cast aside.
And I had to finish the 2nd sock.
But here they are!
And now I can move on...

Size 1 needles.
Yarn: recycled from a Laura Ashley sweater. (I don't usually use recycled yarn for socks because the yarn plies are stranded and not twisted so the fiber is too weak and easily breakable for sock yarn. But this sweater happened to have a twist of plies in order to achieve the color effect. So I went for it.)
Pattern: None. Simple top-down stockinette sock.

And now I really AM 'footloose and fancy free'
LOL!


this 2nd shot is truer to color. Aren't hand knit socks the BEST?
Unfortunately they are also slippery on hardwood stairs...
As I found out when I was wearing my new socks
and I slipped and fell down the stairs today.
Oops.
Maybe I should knit some stair-coverings next...

March 101

My March socks for Sock-a-month3 are done! With a few weeks to spare. Admittedly, they're kind of cheaters, a fulled footie pattern written by Larissa for her upcoming book instead of my regular fingering weight calf-length socks. I knit them in order to test-knit them (a test-along, if you will), but I stalled halfway through, and decided to rip the first out and reknit them as mediums instead of smalls. They're for my granny for Christmas, a little late. Also, my granny turned 94 last week (holy crap!).


Pre-fulling


After fulling, on location in Laurelhurst park, while walking The Trickster

The Specs:
The Pattern: Socks 101, by Larissa. Attempted as a test-knit for her new book, but due to re-sizing I did not finish in time. However, when I started the better size, I knit them in a day. It's a lovely pattern, and a great way to use one skein of a luscious yarn. They're super super cozy, and I'm planning on using this extensively as a gift knit in the future. I think they're more comfy than Fuzzy Feet, and from the sounds of things, much more straightforward. I can't wait to buy Larissa's book; I think it's going to be a keeper.

The Yarn: Less than one skein of Manos del Uruguay in color 118, Mulled Wine. The pattern calls for two skeins, but it looks like most people have made it with one. I had a fair bit to spare. I bought it at the Yarn Garden. Perhaps you've seen their ad in Interweave. Brief Yarn Garden review: I know a lot of people view Yarn Garden as the end-all-be-all of Portland yarn shops. They certainly have the most yarn. If I can't find it at other shops, I'll find it at the YG. And their cafe is very charming. However, I've found their staff to be a little arrogant. They're very pushy about their classes, and they've treated me as if I have no knitting knowledge, which is irritating. Maybe they are just accustomed to new knitters, but a lot of people do know how to knit already, and know what they're looking for. And, why don't they carry Blue Moon Fiber Arts, especially since it's an Oregon yarn? The staff I talked to didn't even know what it was, even when I mentioned Socks that Rock. Do you live under a rock? In my several visits there, I have had one delightful staff member: the guy working the espresso machine who wound my yarn.
Anyway, I'd never knit with Manos before, and it was luscious. However, (warning: heresy ahead) I prefer Malabrigo. It's much softer. I'll be happy to knit these socks with Manos, or Malabrigo, or Rio de la Plata (from Abundant Yarns), or whatever.

The Needles: Chiao Goo Bamboo DPNs, size 10. Purchased from Yarn Garden. They're fine. I'm not too picky about DPNs.

Thoughts: Great pattern. The only mod I made was too make them a little bit and full them a little more. I haven't sent them to my granny yet, so we'll see what she thinks.

I'm already working on my next pair of socks, another pair of Jaywalkers. I anticipate them taking until April, so they'll be my April socks barring catastrophe.

I've been enjoying all the great socks! Alison's post today may interest some of you. She linked a bunch of great free sock patterns in pdf.

March Socks

Wow I finished my March socks up early!! I made these socks for CIC and will hopefully keep some child's feet warm. The gold is from the $1 bin from my LYS and the variegated yarn is some leftover Lionbrand Landscapes. I used a size 5 dpn and did a plain vanilla sock.

More Mad Cow

Here is another pair of Mad Cow Socks for Sock Madness. I finished mine Sunday night around 7:00 PM and was totally sick of them! Mine look like Easter eggs in person with their blue and orange stripes. I really like the color combination! They were knit out of Lorna's Laces on size 1.5 DP's from the cuff down. We were given the option of cuff down or toe-up which I thought was very thoughtful of the designer. Here is a link to the Flickr Group if you care to see even more! Now I am off to rest my hands.

March Sock Madness!

Thanks to the Sock Madness competition, I have at least one pair of socks for March. Can you think of a better incentive to make socks? ;)

And please ignore the bunny fur on my skirt... I had to chase Caesar away from eating Julius' dinner which meant crawling around on the floor!

Happy Feet Socks

Here are my contribution for March. These socks are for my husband. I am lucky in that he wants me to knit him colorful socks. The colors are so bright and happy. He really likes them and says they are comfortable. He is dubious though about how well they will stay up. I guess only time will tell.

Pattern: Gentlemen's Plain Winter Sock from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks

Yarn: Froehlich Woole, Blauband, Maxi Ringel. I received this yarn in a swap several months ago.

Needles: Size 1

Dublin Bay in J. Knits

My latest socks are the Dublin Bay pattern in J.Knits sock yarn, North Carolina colorway. This was a super easy pattern, and good for a busy variegated yarn. And I love love love the yarn. The colors are so happy and bright - rasberry, pink, lavender, blues and tangerine.

update: Thanks for all the help, I can monkey now!

So I have nowhere to turn but to all of you talented sock knitters out there, how do I read this chart? I know that I should read the pattern from bottom to top, and from right to left, but I have other issues. The pattern for Monkey is over 16 stitches, but don't the decreases "eat up" two stitches at a time? I tried knitting it as I have highlighted above so the decreases start at the right edge of the blue boxes, but one side of the pattern is bigger than the other. I know many of you have knitted Monkey, but for me even the written out pattern on Knitty doesn't add up to 16 stitches (example: round 3: P3, k2tog, k3, yo2, k3, ssk, p3 = 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 18). There is obviously something I am missing here, can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Update: Thanks for all the help in the comments, it turns out I was counting the stitch directly following the yarn over as part of the yarn over, thus creating an inflated number of stitches. I can now safely say that I understand not only the written out directions but also the chart! Thank you sock knitters!

Pattern: Mad Cow (1st round of sock madness)

Yarn: Lorna's Laces in Firefly and Gold Hill.

My sister calls these Harry Potter Socks. They were knit for the first round of Sock Madness. I had them finished within 24 hours and am still recovering.

Fearless Stripey Socks for March

Hello! I just joined at the very end of February. My name is Valerie and I am a sock addict. It's warm and sunny here, and I've been standing outside watching the kids play, knitting on a pair of socks. I've just finished my first pair for March, knit from superwash sock merino from Fearless Fibers. It was awesome to knit with, and I sure do love these colours!

Valerie

Fire Mountain

is the name of these socks. I love them so. Knit with Koigu. A simple vanilla knit which lets the colors shine through.



Ink, charcoal, eggplant, lavender, persimmon, crimson, salmon and the softest pink all rolled into to one luscious skein of yarn. This is the second pair of socks for March.

My first pair is aptly named, Electric Nights was gifted to a novice knitter. More details on my blog.

Cheers, Abigail - 1870 pearl

March - In Like a...

Monkey? Yep! I finally got around to finishing my Monkey socks. The pictures aren't that great since I took them at night. This pattern was fun and easy. I did an eye of partridge heel though, just to kind of show off the color. This yarn is seriously my favorite ever, it was worth the extra money to get it here from Canada.





Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A on Knitty
Needles: Addi turbo 40" circular, size 2.5mm (1 US)
Yarn: Mama-E's C*eye*ber Fiber in Suzanne (discontinued)

My First Pair Finished!

I finally finished my first pair of socks! Look!

And the mysterious heel that kinda stumped, (and scared), me:

Yarn: Koigu KPPM

Needles: Clover Bamboo 5 DPN's US size 3

Gauge: 7 1/2 sts=1"

Pattern: From Charlene Schurch's "Sensational Knit Socks", I used the 4 Stitch Garter Rib pattern.

March Socks

Hi Everyone! I finished my first pair for this month on Thursday night. I chose this color because it fit with the February/March theme of Project Spectrum. As always, details are on my blog.

March Socks

These socks are of my own design, I used the Leaves of Grass lace pattern from Lion Brand. I just kinda put the lace pattern on the sock. I finished these within a few weeks and it's my first stab at making them without a pattern.

Toe Up Self Spiraling RPM's

I finished my March socks today and took them outside for a little photo shoot. I frogged these socks so darn many times that I must have knit them two and a half times. The gorgeous yarn held up splendidly to the repeated ripping and the colors kept my enthusiasm from fading.

Yarn: Rohrspatz & Wollmeise superwash sock yarn, color "Am Kalten Polar" in medium-deep color saturation
Pattern: RPM from knitty
Needles: Addi double pointed 2.0mm (US size 0)
Modifications: Everything except the purl three knit six in the original pattern. Knit toe up using magic cast on, increases were made so the toe sloped gently, stitch count was a multiple of 9 minus 1 for the left foot, multiple of 9 plus 1 for the right foot to allow for auto spiraling, short row heel with double wraps, knit one purl one sewn bind-off from Vogue Knitting page 51.

March BFF socks

Yeah, my first socks for SAM3! Knit in Patons Kroy, I used the BFF socks (lovely pattern) from the famous Cookie A. If the top sock looks a little longer than the bottom, your eyes are not deceiving you. I don't know what it is about cuff-down socks but I can never get them to be the same length. Even though it's supposed to be in the high 50's today, I'm wearing my new socks and loving every minute.

Some more yarn candy

Sorry, for not posting any socks but htought I'd give you all a bit of yarn candy to drool over for the weekend.

It's all from Posh Yarn (no,I'm not on commission honestly, but it's my favourite yarn company).

From left to right we've got some plum cobweb cashmere lace, 5 skeins of purple cashmere 4ply, 1 skein of pale green cashmere/silk lace, 3 skeins of blue cashmere lace and the ball on the top is cashmere/merino sock yarn. The sock yarn and green lace was bought from a forum and blogging friend.

ENJOY!

Nephew Socks

Hi Everyone.
I was having some technical difficulties and wasn't able to post in February before now.
But I wanted to share with you a wee pair of socks I made in February for my Nephew,
out of cascade 220 wool. (I wrote about them on my site here. http://bassetknitter.blogspot.com/2007/02/sunshine-snow-and-floppy-ears.html )
They were a bit of sunshine in the dreariness of February.
I am almost done with my March socks and will post them soon.

First Pair, Complete!

I was starting to get worried. Well, ladies & gents, we have my first pair of completed socks for the knitalong. Oh yeah, my name's Anna. Anywho, these will be gifted to my oldest brother at his wedding on the 17th of this month.



Here's the specifics
YARN: Caryn's Creations Hand-Dyed Sock Yarn, 75% wool, 25% nylon, 400 yards per hank, colorway: (Seattle) Seahawks. (this stuff is currently on back order!)
NEEDLE(s): Size 1 Addi Turbo
METHOD USED: Toe up, Magic Loop, 2 socks on one circular needle
PATTERN: K3P1 for foot/leg, K2P2 cuff
STARTED: late January 2007, completed this past Sunday, March 4th

All in all, this was a VERY boring knit, but I know my brother will like 'em and use them. They're very comfy, as I've tried 'em on myself. ;-p



I love all of the socks I've been seeing so far. Now I can get back to knitting for moi! First stop, my first package from my Rockin' Socks 2007 Club! :-D

Back to go peruse the other gorgeous socks . . .

March Socks Done!

These were a really fun and quick knit!

They are the Child's First Socks from Knitting Vintage Socks. More details on my blog!

Blog: On and Off the Needles

March Socks Are Off The Needles!

Just cast off this morning, and I was feeling a little slow with these after seeing all the "completed" posts for this month already :).

These are one of my favourite patterns - this is the second time I've made "Fluted Bannisters" and I rarely make a sock twice.

Yarn and needles details are linked to the picture, so feel free to click if you'd like to know more.

Lots of great socks folks, thanks for keeping me inspired :).

February Pomatomi

I finally, finally, finally finished my Pomatomi. The Pomatomi I started in October when I was in Sock-a-Month2. The reason I only finished one pair of socks for Sock-a-Month two. And gleefully, my first pair of socks for Sock-a-Month 3. These are actually my February socks. I finished them a few weeks ago, but haven't had time to photo and blog.

Although I'm making it sound as if I didn't enjoy making these socks, I really did. The pattern is intriguing and engaging. And, it looks pretty wicked, too. But they're not exactly mindless knitting, so they simply took a while. I couldn't pick them up during my weekly lectures, and they sort of simmered for a while as I was focusing on a wee bit of holiday knitting. I enjoyed making them, love the look of them, and I'm glad they're done and I can start some different socks.

A photo montage:

The yarn


Better colors in this shot


The yarn, on my new, totally radical Nostepinde by Hello Yarn

I've been using my Nostepinde for a couple of months now. I got it from my mom and dad (who henceforth shall be known as Ole and Lena) for Christmas. No, it's no fancy, shmancy ball winder, but I like the low techiness of it. I'm starting to get very even, very appealing balls of yarn from it. And it definitely beats by previous low-budg solution: winding it around my index finger.

Vertigo

Ok, I will be the first to acknowledge that this was perhaps a busy yarn choice for an already busy pattern. But, you know what? I don't care. I wear scrubs to work almost every day, so socks are my way to spice things up a bit. The Pomatomus pattern still looks awesome, and this yarn is one of the best I have used so far. Very soft, very squishy, very durable with no pilling or other ickiness after a few runs through the washer AND dryer.

The Specs:
The Yarn: Spunky Eclectic SUPER SOCKS. Hand painted Superwash Merino Wool. Fingering weight sock yarn. 100 g = 420 yards. Colorway is Aztec. I won this yarn in a contest on Jennifer's blog. I really love it. It's durable, soft, and very comfortable. The colors are fantastic.
The Pattern: The famous Pomatomus. This is the first one of Cookie's patterns I've knit. I'll agree with the pattern description in that it's a bit of a challenge, as far as most sock patterns go. But if you've knit lace before, or you know how to read a chart, then it shouldn't be much of a problem. The pattern is repetetive, so you do get the hang of it after a while. The only problem I had was in Chart B. Make sure you note the highlighted stitch in row 1. It says: Slip 2 st. Place two slipped stitches back on left needle. Knit three together tbl. I had mistaken it for a similar symbol for "Knit 2 tog tbl" for a while and it was messing up my pattern and stitch count. Overall, the pattern in the work of genius.
The Needles: As per usual for my socks, socks on two circs. Addi Turbos #2.
Thoughts: This sock is very, very stretchy, and is very comfy. I would lean toward a tighter versus looser guage. I made my feet a bit too long, as well. But they're very, very comfy, and I will enjoy them very much. On their virgin voyage out in the real world, I received several compliments from non-knitters.

Part of what was stressful about these socks was knitting them cuff down from one large skein of yarn. I don't have a scale, so after sock #1, I felt I had enough for the second sock, but no objective way of knowing. As I knit down on sock #2, I started to have the sinking feeling that I would run short. Since sock #1 was done, this would mean ripping it all the way back, past the heel, to take out one pattern repeat in the leg (I had done 3). I decided to risk it, but I was really hoping to make it just to the toe of sock #2, where I would not be totally heartbroken to finish the toe in some other crazy leftover yarn. Miracle of miracles, I made it. I have a little bitty nubbin of a ball left. I'm so glad I was able to make it through both socks. After working so hard on these, I really wanted them to be near-perfect, but I would not have had the energy to rip both socks back past the heel again.

I'm elated with these socks and recommend the pattern to anyone up for an engaging sock-knit!

March Socks!

Here are my March socks. They were originally supposed to be my 2nd pair of Feb socks and time ran out! I was so inspired by everyones beautiful work that I tried my first pair with a pattern instead of ribbing.



Pattern: Columbine Peak from Socks Soar On Two Circular Needles
Needles: Addi US 2
Wool Koigu KPPPM Color 457 (I think?)

Happy Knitting!!

My March Socks Are Done

Hi! I have finally finished this pair of socks! I started them some time last year (not sure of the exact date) and set them aside for the longest time. I used the Cable and Rib pattern by Nancy Bush in the IK Fall 2005 issue. They are knit with Regia 4-ply 5033. I'm going to love wearing them, they fit great.
