Another Snowy Friday

We were visited by another snow storm yesterday

and were left with a layer of sleet/freezing rain,

followed by 3-4" of snow. 

Thankfully I made my Joann's run earlier in the day!

I was completely out of white thread!

(and so was my quilt shop!!)

How did this happen??

Hopefully after today I'll be able to show you why I

needed the white thread.

In the meantime,

I have a completed pair of socks and another pair started!

Earlier in the week I finished the

"Maryland" socks for my daughter.

These are for her little size 2 feet and were knitted using a

solid black and solid red yarn together.

She loves them and was glad to have them yesterday.

A few weeks ago I found this publication put out by "Threads"

 in one of my local quilt shops...

It cost $6.00 and is full of lots of socks to make...

some beautiful and some unique!

The one thing I really like about this book/magazine is the patterns tell you

how long to knit the foot of the sock for specific sizes

instead of saying "measure your foot and..."

If I'm making a pair of socks as a gift or for someone who lives out of town,

I can't measure their foot.

 

Anyway...

Here is the pair I started from this publication...

The pattern was supposed to extend down the foot, but I find

wearing socks with a pattern like this on my foot is uncomfortable.

This pattern is the "Alpaca Texture Sock"

and is really easy to knit.

I cannot remember the yarn name or manufacturer as I lost the

tag.  I need to put the tag and ball of yarn in a

baggie after I wind it into a ball, so I can have that information!

Please visit Patchwork Times to see what others are knitting.

Happy Knitting!
