February Socks




I chose to do a lace pattern on #1 needles for my february pair. Socketta springy yarn in verigated greens. I really like the stripe and lace effects on these. The only downside is that these have turned out to be REALLY REALLY warm. It will be good for those snow days that are coming, but too much for today's 60 degree weather. I finished a lace weaving piece last weekend as well. I guess February was the month for lace. Now I have to figure out my March socks and what to get on the loom next.
Happy Leap Day

February Sock Panic

The sock is beautiful. However, I started knitting on the 26th of January and decided to do a lace pattern on #1 needles. The first sock finished February 17th. First sock took almost a month and now I have to do another one???? I've been knitting like a mad woman at night - 1-1/2" minimum every evening or I'm not gonna make it.

February Socks

It's the 4th of February and all of my good intentions to be really ahead of the socks are falling by the wayside. I have 4" of my first February sock done and I'm lucky if I can get 1" in an evening (I'm using a new pattern - lace and have 74 stitches on #1 needles). I love the socketta yarn I'm using - cotton with just enough rayon to make it stretchy. Between the socks, my two projects for my loom and the spinning, I'm not getting what I had planned done. We'll see how the rest of the week goes. I should be able to get a lot of sock time at the Caucas tomorrow!
Happy Monday!
