My Serpentine socks need to be ripped back to before the gusset increases!!!!!!!!!!!! I always end up making my socks a smidge too small however I grossly overcompensated this time and the foot is too big by about 1"- There is no way I will get the pair done before the end of the month
I'm about in the middle with number of people behind/ahead of me- maybe another couple of weeks??? I'm definitely not posting alllllll my stash (unless lots of people have more;0)
I'm currently fudging the heel of my Serpentine sock- I knitted too much before starting the increases for the gusset. Yes I really HATE ripping back and since this is my first cabled project, I'm not sure I could get it all back on the needles right...I'll keep you posted.
Okay I finally cast on and made some progress on my Serpentine socks. The pics are not the greatest- I could not get the cables to show up in with the bright orange color- but I LOVE how they are turning out.
Top yarn is what I'm using instead of the Firebird yarn sent with my June shipment of STR- I'm using the Firebird yarn to knit the Fawkes pattern by Socktopia.
Here are some of my new sock yarns- the rainbow/blues one is from Perchance to Knit- it just sits on my dresser making me smile- the colors are very clear and vibrant. Above are two of my new Silkie socks that rock and two Mediumweight STR!
This is my changed stitch pattern for April's socks that rock club. I love the yarn so maybe I'll even have a pair of these some day!
I've also cast on for the Serpentine socks for the Sockamania KAL- I'll post pics when I've shown some progress- lovely bright orange color by Lucy Neatby!
So I finally reconciled my camera and computer- now the camera is with my hubby at work...hmmmm. I'm eagerly awaiting some Socks that Rock yarn so I can take some pics of that too. I'm in the SOM club with blue moon- the colorway this month is Firebird- I like it, I like the pattern, just not seeing the two together. I DO like the idea of knitting this in the Fawkes pattern by Socktopia- yes this house is eagerly awaiting the release of the Potter series. Those of you who know me, realize that I love to start projects, work randomly on projects, but finishing anything is rare. Well I have about 10 pairs of socks on the needles so it is my goal to finish at least that many this year so I can start more socks without buying more needles! Wish me luck!
Okay truthfully, I haven't even knit with it yet. (picture coming tomorrow) It is by Perchance to Knit from Loopy Ewe. I love it- it even comes with a pretty little stitch marker- which makes me feel pretty while knitting! Loopy Ewe- I just have to say- fastest service bar none! They have all the great hand dyed sock yarns too. Hopefully tomorrow my camera and computer will stop fighting so I can show Y'all my wonderful yarn!
For whatever reason, I'm not "getting" this blogging thing. Anyway, I' m going to try to post some pics of my latest progress on my Socks that Rock club from April. I've ripped them out twice and I finally decided to do a different pattern to save my sanity. (Cellular stitch from B. Walkers collection) I'll post a pic when I have some noticable progress.
