Self Striped Socks another SSS completed.

I cast these on way back in November and quickly got bored with the stocking stitch. They are knitted in Lincraft Hot Socks yarn. I'm pleased with the final result but in future will avoid a plain stocking stitch sock. I did learn a new skill knitting these .. Breastfeeding and knitting at the same time!

Thuja socks finished

Pattern here

Great pattern. Very easy and quick to knit up on ADDI Turbos 3.75cm 30cm's circular needles.

I love the feel of this yarn Heirloom Cashmino, very soft. The stitch definition is beautiful.

I find black a pretty boring colour for socks but Peter loves it.

More socks

Fixation anklets pattern here

Nice and quick to knit up. In 8ply wool I handdyed from Bendigo Woolen Mills.



These are still in progress. In 4ply hot socks from Lincraft. on 2.25 dpns. The pattern is a basic sock pattern which was on the band of a ball of yarn.

Left Over Wool Socks

I had some left over wool from my last two sock club socks and not wanting to waste it I used it it make some anklet socks.

Needles: 3.75mm Addi Turbo Circs
YaRN: Fyberspates BFL in Blue Lagoon and Moss
Pattern: adapted from Lion Brand - striped footies

Modifications: I used a k1 p1 rib for the cuff and contrast colour for the heels and toes. I didn't do the stripes.

Moss Socks

First pair of my Southern Summer of Socks finished.

Yarn: Fyberspates BFL Moss Colour way
Pattern: Moss from Fybersplates Sock Club
Needles: 3.25mm DPNS

I used a sewn off cast off to keep the ribbing elastic. Instructions came from Woolwonder.com

I have cast on the first sock for my second pair.

New Challenge

Ok time to set some goals:

1. To knit 2 pairs of socks per month until xmas, 6 pairs in total
2. Learn and try the magic Loop method.
3. Finish one pair of socks before casting on the next :) - this is the hard one!

But before I can start I NEED to finish the Mommy Snug. I don't have too much more to do but I'm so bored with it. Miles and miles of 2x2 rib are so boring. I fell like that fish in the Finding Nemo movie ... just keep knitting...just keep knitting.. just keep knitting.
