April Madness

My April socks are more Sock Madness socks - I made it to Round 3 and here are the socks for Round 3



Pattern - Painted Madness by Tricia Weatherston
Yarn - Opal handpainted "Herbstmelodie"

Lovely cuffed sock with little garter points around the cuff, heel flap and round toe. Cast on Wednesday 4th April 5.30pm, finished 1.50am Saturday 7th April. I made it into Round 4 - the competition is hotting up - only 4 people left in each division so I've made it to the final 16! I can't believe it.....and I love these socks.

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.

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.)

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.
