Finished Mystery socks

These were finished days ago, but I finally got some not-so-great pictures! I did a little bit of bling on the big toes. I wanted something subtle, and the left toe was the first…way too subtle! The right toe is more like it. Didn’t feel like completely redoing the left toe…so I have a little bling, and a lot of bling!!!

I used Plymouth Dye for Me Happy Feet...which I then dyed, of course! The colour doesn’t show quite true. The colour is a greyish-bluish-greenish colour, like the ocean on a foggy day.

edited by adrienne to add yarn used.

Look, Look I finished somthing!

Progress, progress!

I finished set of dishcloths. Count the yardage for 2 of them at 273.5 yds. Yarn is Lily Sugar 'n Cream in violet Veil and Cornflower about 1 ball per cloth.

I'm working on Mystery sock clue 4.

I finished the red stealth socks.

One pair of socks

...I had totally forgotten about to post...
I had knit this pair in early Summer (June) and the pattern of this pair is released in Yarn Forward issue 18. Roses socks. Made out of Panda Cotton (2 balls) and 1 ball Panda Superwash in the colour Joyful.

52 Week Challenge & Mystery Sock KAL-Brenda (Owlsrook)

Here are my finished Mystery KAL Socks - I knit these on dpns, using Kroy Sock Yarn in a Colour called "Muslin". Used 380 yards of yarn, and thought for a few minutes that I was going to run out of yarn. Each ball held 195 yards. So very little left.

It was a really great KAL and the pattern is beautiful. Or "Simply Lovely".

I am really interested to see the diversity of colours that will be used for this KAL, as well as the many types of yarn.

Thanks very much Adrienne.

Finished Socks

I finished my socks, but I misread the instructions and kept knitting the instep with the same pattern until it was time for the toe. I love everyone else's socks. I will definitely knit this pattern again but the next time I promise to follow the instructions better! Thanks for the pattern Adrienne.

first sock finished

I made a boo boo reading the instructions and didn't do enough of the 4 row pattern, so had a bit more of the plain knitting than I should. So I decided to put a heart which I'll see when my feet are up knitting by the fire which represents this whole experience. I will knit another pair the correct way very soon. The second sock is almost finished. :) Razzle is happy that he will get a bit more attention now that this is off the needles.

One down, one to finish!

I have one sock complete for the mystery sock KAL!

I still need to finish clue 4 and 5 on the other sock.

mystery sock clue 5

28 rows finished on the first sock. Love the way it tapers down. I really like the heel and how it fits snuggly. I know I'll be making another pair of these soon. I found that solid or nearly solid colors makes a big difference with this pattern. I started it in a couple of other yarns and they fought with the lovely stitch design.
I think this is the best sock pattern EVER!

Mystery KAL & 52 Week Challenge-Brenda (Owlsrook)

Here are my Mystery KAL Socks in Progress, just finished clue 2. As you can see from the picture I am knitting both at the same time on dpns. Really nice Patttern
Adrianne. I am using Kroy yarn for these as I had it in my stash, but I will do these again at some point in a nice soft pink.

August FO

I see that I forgot to post a finished project in August. I finished these socks August 30. They are for one of my daughters whose birthday is today. Yarn is Patons Kroy Sock 4 ply in blazing blue. The pattern will be available soon. I used 292 yards of yarn.

I think I got distracted by the mystery sock. I have started clue 4 on one sock.

52 week challenge for September

This shawl is loosely based on Gabriel's Wings. Instead of using a skein of Noro sock yarn, I am using many different odds and ends of sock yarn in my stash. None of it is labeled but there may even be some CPY in it before I am finished. I'm doing a solid color (Knitpicks Risata in Dusk) in-between each patterned yarn and will probably keep it going until I run out!

I finally remembered to post a picture of my mystery socks-in-progress. I really like this pattern Adrienne, it fits beautifully! The yarn is Plymouth Happy Feet which I first dyed a silvery-grey, then overdyed with blue and green, trying to create the look of the ocean on a foggy day.

My DH gave me such a lovely compliment on these socks: David said that if I wore these to Las Vegas, we would be asked to leave the casino, because the players would be looking at my socks, instead of playing!! Awwwwh, what a guy!!

Not enough time to knit

Adrienne knows already. I can't work on the mystery socks at the moment. I frogged the first clue and started an easier pair of socks that needs to be finished soon. But in the coming weeks there will not be much time to knit. At the moment we're in the process of packing, and we'll be moving to a bigger house in a nearby town. Exciting, but also a lot to organize. I'll keep you posted though!

52-week progress for Sept.

Hi, finally feel like I have something to post. I am on the second set of the rounds on the first sock ( I know I am behind!) Loving the Happy feet yarn and my new Kollage square needles and the cool design! Hopefully I will finish in time. I am doing a 70 Co but with 2.25 needles. I might add more if it is too short for me. Any ideas on that? Hope to catch up when the Katie goes back to school.

Jody

P.S. Darin will be going back to work at the job he was laid-off from (back in December!) Yeah Sort of empty house again and back to a schedule!

52 week challenge

Finished my Mini Mochi Double Knit Hat on Aug 31st. Used 328 yds. Now the hat covers my ears. It has a deep crown for 'floppy' look. Love it. (The 'original' only used 242 yds and was snug fit.)
