I knew I loved knitting - but over the last few days I managed to lose my knitting bag and it had my camera in there as well. I have been doing some major cleaning at the 311 house and thought I must have put it SOMEPLACE... but thank goodness I managed locate it today under an air matress...
Whew. I was starting to freak out... I mean really FREAK OUT...ahem.... So here are the socks. I think I will end up needing to felt them. I under estimated the size...this wool actually is worsted and I am so used to knitting socks from fingering.. that it is hard to adjust and I have a little issue with following instructions on socks - I always think I know best..hence the narrow heel. Well- now if I could find a basic pattern that was perfect - I wouldn't fiddle...sigh...The yellow single ply ended up looking like stars.. really cool. I am about 3/4 of the way done with one sock. I have so say - I continue to be impressed with the lofly quality of the yarn. I am a wondering if it will end up being scratchy...I cant wait to wear them under my Muck Boots.
Mini Project below -- matching socks for my granddaughter Jovie. Mina has the green ones with the multi stripe-- so I thought this would be a fun - same but different pair for her little chubby feet.... is there anything more precious than chubby baby feet?
