sock-o-rama

I am still hard at work at perfecting my socks. That perfect fit, good yarn management that doesn't involve sweating bullets hoping you have just enough yarn to have closed-toe socks and an leg opening that is big enough to have your foot pass through is harder than it looks! However, I think that the sock bug is about to be squashed and a cardigan maybe on the horizon. Just in time for summer. Go figure.

I'm still working out some kinks on uploading pictures directly from Flickr and thus the really big picture of a pair of socks. Luckily (and I hope you agree), they are cute socks.

Stay warm and knit well.

sock-o-rama

For the last few months, I have only been knitting socks. Forget scarves, blankets and anything else... if it ain't socks, it ain't happenin' at my house! So, in my great sock recipe search, I have come across this great sock registry.

This website will lead you other websites with free sock recipes that are really cute (and free)!

Happy Epiphany!

Does anyone have any New Year's Knitting Resolutions that they would like to share? I have promised myself that I will Finish A Baby Blanket. I only have a few on needles currently, so one of them should do the trick! And a I have a few (only 3 pairs) of promised socks to finish, so that can be accomplished somewhat quickly. Somewhat is the operative word in that sentance. Hopefully this snow will keep me in the house and knitting like a fiend.

I'll see you all next week at guild!!!

answering Linda's call

I am hard at work on my sock-o-rama right now. I have sewn the ends in on the Aunt Jean's Socks of Many Colors and just need to mail it to Aunt Jean. I have also started Grandma Ferguson's Big Girl Red Socks. Coal black toes, heels, and cuffs with a barn red foot and leg. I'll have to actually take pictures of it in the near future.

After that, I'm thinking about starting a shawl (after I finish the SOS socks, that is) that is a candle pattern. If you join Ravelry, you can go to my favorites and find the recipe thataway.

So, what is everyone else up to?

If you have a question about blogging...

... feel free to call me. I will be happy to make housecalls if you think you need help, just give me a buzz on my cell phone.

So, on to knitting news: I've started a new pair of socks. I know, surprise, surprise, surprise. I really love making the toe-up variety and have gotten questions on how to start them. The man I took classes from (Don) has a his own blog and I have put the link in the sidebar. His blog is called Yarmando and the instructions to make the toe-up socks is on his sidebar. They are done on magic-loop, which is a great way to knit in the round, if you haven't tried it already.

If you need help with the magic-loop, you can give me call on that also. We can make my housecall a two-fer.
