New Socks // New Blog
Welcome to the newest outlet for all that is me. I have combined the Knitwith.us website and the Nautical Knitter blog into this little corner of the internet that I call Deborah Fillmer dot com. If you are new here and want to know more about my past, check out the Me page. For updates on what I am currently doing or looking forward to, hang out here for a while. Please feel free to leave comments on the posts and get involved in my adventures.
What better way to start a new blog than with a finished object? These socks were started at the beginning of the 2008-2009 college basketball season. They were a great “grab and go” project for taking to the games and the cable pattern was quite simple to memorize. This was the first time I had ever done a cable pattern and the pattern was written well enough for a beginner to understand.
I am a notoriously slow and methodical knitter, so finished objects for me are something to be celebrated! Therefore, I present to you my completed Updraft Socks.
Pattern: Updraft Socks – Air Collection
Modifications: Eliminated the cable pattern on the foot
Yarn: Knitpicks Essential – Ash
Needles: US 0

They look great. Yet another sock pattern to add to my ever increasing queue. Those are cool sock blockers too. Where did you get them?
