Knitting Needles Friday

During this past week, I had some

large chunks of time to 

work on some knitting.

First, I was on a bus trip going to a

Basketball game ( my team won!!)

and almost finished

one Hermione's Everyday Sock.

This pattern has such nice texture and is a fun

sock to make.

I am using Madelinetosh Sock Yarn in "Spectrum."

The second chunk of knitting time I had this past week

was not nearly as exciting as a 

basketball game,

but I did get a fair amount of work done on

this sock:

I needed a mindless project, so this is a

Basic Sock with Opal yarn.

I do love the striping with this yarn.

I am also making this with the 

Afterthought Heel...totally mindless.

(The Heel will be added where the 

blue thread is seen...)

THEN...

I was in Michael's the other day and

found this book:

 

I have a friend who

LOVES

Sock Monkeys.

This book came home with me

along with some yarn

and this is what I have so far.

This is knitting up quickly

because of the larger needles and yarn.

So far, so good!

others are working on this week.

Happy Friday!
