2nd Pair for July!

Wow, I managed to finish another pair of socks this month. Good thing, too, because these are for my Sockapalooza pal & we need to send them out this week, I think. :D



The pattern is Periwinkle Socks by Lisa Dykstra, and I used the called-for Panda Cotton, in the Strawberry-Lime colorway. The pattern is super easy and was very simple to remember, and I like the length of the cuff, despite usually being a short-cuff girl. The yarn is a joy to work with, and I tried the 1st sock on when I finished it just to see if I'd like it enough to make some of my own. I do. :) I will be knitting this pattern, and with this yarn, again in the future. :) The yarn doesn't break the bank (I paid $6.75 for a ball... so $13.50 for a pair!), either, so if you're on a budget, I think it would work for you. I knit these for a US Size 7, though, and had about 6g total left of yarn, so if your feet are bigger than that, I'd get a 3rd ball just in case (might be able to get away w/ knitting a 7.5 out of it, but it'd be pushing it!).

Gimme a J!

I finished my June socks last week, just in time to wear them to work on Friday!



Yarn: Austermann Step
Color: #18
Pattern: Simple Stockinette over 64 stitches.

These socks feel really great on my feet. I have enough left of the ball to probably get another pair out of it!! (I knit fairly short cuffs.)

Same Day, Different Sock!

I managed to finish one of my other pairs of socks today while I was riding around in a car and hanging out with some knitpals!



The pattern is Thuja, from Knitty, and the yarn is Artyarns Supermerino #102. I have 7 grams left from each ball (14 total)... so it was getting kind of close there. :)

April Socks!

Woohoo! I didn't think I was going to make it, but I FINALLY finished this pair of socks! I've been working on them on and off for a few months, actually.



The yarn is Sunshine Yarns Ravenclaw, and the pattern is just a simple stockinette pattern over 64 stitches. I'm so happy to have these done! :)
