October Socks for Sock Knitters Anonymous Complete // Bring On November
September 1st I challenged myself to knit a pair of socks a month following along with the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on Ravelry. Here are my October socks:
Specs:
Pattern: Having Hope
Yarn: Trekking Pro Natura (Dark Grey Color)
Needles: #1US
Started: October 1, 2009
Completed: October 31, 2009
Notes: This was my first complete project with cables throughout. It was a challenge and I learned lots of new things along the way. One thing I did learn was how to do a Vikkel Braid which I really like!
Time to move on to November’s Socks. Will post about those when I cast on.
Fair Winds, D
One Down // One To Go
This is what it looks like in the evenings at our house these days…
Ebby helped me, in her normal way, finish the first of this month’s socks tonight. I love the sock and the way the cables turned out, but it was harder than I had expected…Cables are in my future, but as with anything else, practice is sometimes painful…
The second sock will be finished at the beach this week. One week between semesters and we are goin’ to the beach! Yay!
Shoes for Trade // Yarn Trade Anybody?
I am putting these in a post on Ravelry as well, in case anyone there might be interested. I have three pair of clear shoes that I purchase a while back. One pair was to be for me, and two others were to be for gifts, when needed. Problem is, everyone I know has feet my size…big! All three pair are brand new, never worn and would look great with hand knit socks. I wear an 8.5 shoe normally, so I bought a size 9 for myself. Being a tennis shoe type of person, they just didn’t work for me, so I never wore them. The other two pair are size 7 and 8. Anyone interested in trading a pair for some yarn or anything else knitting related?
Let me know through the comments page…Thanks
