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.

Yarn Candy

Okay, so I'm not posting a sock. Still got 1 nearly finished otn and started a new Fair isle sock today. Designing it myself and it'll be put forward for mag submissions later this month. So can't post pic of that either.

But thought I'd share a bit of eye candy. Just have a look at this gorgeous yarn. And all of it sock yarn too. I'm spoiled for choice.



First up,

Duet Sock Yarn in 'Berries' bought from The Yarn Grove. This came today with some mini sock blockers. This yarn is so gorgoeus and has 125gr of the main yarn adn 30 gr of solid.





Also from the Yarn Grove is this Lornas Laces Georgetown. Love this colour. Feels like spring.





Got this on Saturday from the Yarn Yard which is the March club yarn. Love the colour of this too. Cast on for this but hte pattern i wanted to use didn't work with the yarn so on hold now.

And some Tofutsies whihc arrived last week .Not got much further than the toe actually. LOL

And some Opal I've hand dyed myself which is nowhere near as gorgeous as all this ohter sock yarn but thought I'd show it anyway.

Also got tempted in the Posh sale on Sunday evening and got some lovely cashmere 4ply coming. Have knitted socks iwth it before but using it for a shawl this time. (Talking about shawls - some shawl pics on my blog (finished ones and in progress).



And I've got some Posh Lucia sock yarn which I bought from an online friend, whihc will hopefully arrive tomorrow.



Hope yo uall enjoyed the yarn candy.



And to all the posts I haven't posted on. Everyone's socks are fantastic. I pop on most days to check what people have done. And it's all gorgeous.



BTW, what's happened to all the stuff in the side bar (everyone's names etc)?

....and we have a pair.........FINALLY!!!!

It's 25th of Feb and I've just completed my first pair this month. Very, very unusual for me. I've got another sock on the needles and it's nearly finished and if I wanted to I could get the other one done before the end of the month but I've got too many other wips that are calling to me LOUDER, so I think they'll have to become my March socks.

These socks were inspired by the colours. I got 2 skeins from the Yarn Yard that were dyed in colours that came from the same base colour. I used the variegated colour for the rib, toes and butterflies. I'm sure it would look equally nice reversing this and knitting the sock in variegated yarn and using the solid for the toe, rib and butterflies. The pattern will be availabe on my website hopefully within a week.

I may complete after all

I'm making very slow progress this month. I started a pair of toe up rib socks a couple of weeks ago and still not finished the first sock althoug hI'm nearly done.

A few days ago I started a fair isle sock althoug hI'd promised myself not to cast on for another sock till I'd finished my toe up pair. But I've been wanting to do a pair of fair isle socks for a while and thought this yarn from the Yarn Yard would be perfect (using the purple and lilac skein).

So I cast on adn althoug hthe original pattern I'd decided on didn't work out I'm pleased with what I came up with instead. They wre supposed to look like little hearts but my daughter, emily, thinks they look like Butterflies so they will be called Butterflies socks. I've got halfwayt through the fair isle pattern on the 2nd sock so hoping it'll be done by the end of the weekend.
