I completed the Sockdolagar socks (Round 1) - they feel wonderful on my feet, a challenge to knit but I finally figured it out.
Round 2 of Sockmadness was the Flying Dutchman, an Intarsia pattern. I had never done that either but plugged away and completed the pair in time to make it to Round 3. I used ShibuiKnits Yarn - Sock Yarn (from EatSleepKnit) for this, colors say "Go Cyclones"
Round 3's pattern is called Greenhouse but maybe mine should be Redhouse. The yarn is Dream in Color Yarn - Smooshy - Lipstick Lava from EatSleepKnit. The yarn feels so soft when knitting, hope the sock feels the same too. I'm almost to the toe for sock 1, it's has a different sole shaping, toe and bind-off.
I also made a few more sock knitting projects bags that I added to my Etsy site. I made some as gifts and for myself and they have really worked out great. I'm going to try and get a few more made and online, in between sock knitting of course :-)
And - Hi Amelia!!

Your socks look great. I especially love the bright colors (since it's been dreary and rainy the last couple of days).
ReplyDeleteThanks - it's been dreary and rainy here too.
DeleteSuch wonderful sock projects! I love the bright colors too :*) And I love your bags - very handy!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the bright colors best! The bags have been working out good, just the right size for yarn, socks and pattern. Thanks!
DeleteBeautiful socks! I love the bags too.
ReplyDeleteThose are very cool socks! Great job on all of them. Your bags are cute also.
ReplyDeleteThanks - both are fun to work on!
DeleteNice socks - I am always afraid to try new patterns, but have started to branch out a bit lately! I love having a zippered bag for knitting that I can quickly grab and pop into my larger day bag when I have to run out and I know I will be waiting... Great job making them. Cheers! Evelyn
ReplyDeleteI have really been branching out lately too - and been surprised that I can get them done! Thanks!
