This is the start of the December sock of the month from Theknitter.com . I started these the last week of Jan. Yarn is a Cascade Handpainted.
Here they are done. I finished them Feb 2. They were a very quick knit on size 2 needles. These were knitted a lot taking care of my Dad.
The start of the January sock of the month from Theknitter.com. This is a trekking yarn. The matching surprised me as I was again taking care of my Dad and just casted on without thinking about matching them. I did not think there would be stripes in the yarn anyways. These would have been started Feb 2.
Here is another test knit. I started these as I needed another pair of socks going...Feb 4. Stash yarn. Yarn is socka. Bejeweled Diamonds is the pattern name.
Here are both pair completed. I think I have met the yardage for Feb. Again I am surprised at how well they matched up. The darker pink pair will go to Jess for Valentines day. The light pink pair will be for me to wear Valentines day. Also the light pink pair has beads that I am not sure show very well.Tomorrow I will cast on for this. Again the yarn has been waiting to be knitted for a while. I am having a hard time waiting to cast on. Oh and Dad is doing great and does not need the help anymore.

And I do believe that the bejeweled diamonds are on my list. AND if I do them in the right colorway...I can call them Jewel of the Prairie.......
Thanks for sharing all these great projects.

The bejeweled diamonds are gorgeous! I'm going to have to try those, maybe for my granddaughter. I still haven't started her pink panda silk socks, and she wants beads on them. Hmmmmm. She's only 9, thought....
