Socks Finished!

What a great pattern this is! It was a very fun knit, no boredom in this one!
The picture is not true to the color... But I am wearing them now and they are a great fit!

Blogger is not allowing me to upload my picture.. I keep getting an error.. Check out my projects page on Ravelry..

Bev's Mystery Socks

I finished them and I love this pattern. It was fun to knit up.

I used yarn that I had in my stash. I didn't use Sock Summit stash I'm still fondling it.

The yarn is hazel knits artisan sock in Sanguine Peach. I like how the pattern looks in this colorway. I did the Just a Bit Fancy on the heel flap and took the instep pattern down to almost the toe and started the fancy toe. I wish I had started to toe decreases earlier but I like how they turned out. That you, Adrienne for a great pattern can't wait for the next one.

Sarah's Mystery Socks

I knit these out of ShiBui yarn (SockC anime) on Addi 1 circular needles doing two socks on two circulars. I ended up changing the toe design (still not sure I'm totally liking it) and using the plain heel. I also knit with 70 stitches to begin for the leg, but decided to switch to 60 stitches for the foot. If I do it again I'll be using 60 stitches for both. I have size 9.5 women's feet, but they are narrow.

Thanks for creating the design. I enjoyed the design even if I had to take them off my needles twice to work as a test knitter on another sock pattern.

i was sick

they told me to go to a doctor weeks and weeks ago, but did i listen ? no. am i so sick, coughing like i have hairballs the size of grizzly bears, that i can not finish my mystery sock, let alone anything else ? you betcha.
at least i can see everyone else's gorgeous socks and i know what i'm doing when i get well...as long as i can squeeze it in beside our next KAL.
thanks for a fantastic KAL, please don't delete me. i can get a doctor's note if i need to.

Yarn Used for Socks

I forgot to post the yarn that I used when I posted my photos. I used ShibuiKnits Sock. I loved the way that it knit up, but for some reason I used almost every single inch. I think I had about 6 inches left of each skein when I finished the socks, and that is definitely too close for comfort. If I use this yarn again I will definitely buy an extra skein.

Cuddles and Hugs Baby Blanket 2

I did finish the second baby blanket. I so love this pattern and how it works up into these blankets. This photo even though taken outside the shade surprised me on how dark it showed up. But the colors are so true.

mystery sock and 52-week September update.

Hi, well I am soo behind! But, knitting hard! Here is the first sock for the KAL. I used Happy Feet on 2.25mm square needles. I love this pattern but I scream around row 7 to 10 of the leg pattern. I keep making it harder than it is (rather than trusting the pattern.) I thought the second was going to be the same but I am fighting this part. It will clear up in another few rows. Plus, I tried to knit at church today, WRONG thing to do. The President of Compassion Intl. spoke today and I cried all over my sock to speed the blocking process. But, I need to rip a row because I was not paying attention to what I was doing! I hope you all have a great day!

My sock is more of the correct color in the picture with my big calves (or one calf!)

52 week challenge for September

I finished "Gabriel's Wings" for my September 52 week challenge. I used two skeins of Knitpicks Risata sock yarn @196 yards each, and about the same amount of various patterned sock yarn, so my guess is about 700-800 yards altogether. I added a crochet border around the edges. Love how it came out!

I'm several days behind the front knitters.....

...but I am finished. The sock on the left is what I did when it did not occur to me that Adrienne is a genius. I know, I could (should?) have taken it to the frog pond, BUT every time I wear these socks, I will remember that over thinking things is not always the best solution. Don't worry, Adrienne, I'm not putting them up like this on Ravelry....I have a different shot for that.

Thanks for hosting such a fun and beautiful kal. I'm sure I'll be knitting these socks again in more colors.

I used Maizy in an old color called tan suede.

Later!

belated knit items to show you

these are in Mochi-+, a long gauntlet wrister, about 3/4 up arm [want to do a longer one] and a matching hat .
used the rainbow colorway for the hat and gauntlet.
LOL, any guesses on which came first, hat or gauntlet?

here's a 2nd hat, using two colorways - babyface and jungle. it's gauntlet is next and will go up to elbow i think.

.

10 pairs!

wow! 10 pairs of socks finished so far! and i LOVE them all. of course, i may be a bit partial here, just saying.

who else is working on these? would love to see at least 20 more pairs posted by the end of the month. (or is that wishful thinking on my part? come on! you can do it!!!!!!) remember, the more pairs finished, the more prizes there will be!

The mystery is solved or finished.

I have finished my mystery socks. I used the fancy heel and toe.
Yarn: CPY Panda Wool
Needles: 2.5mm/#1.5
Color: Ultramarine that I won in Tour de Sox 2008.

3rd toe is the charm for mystery sock and September project

I frogged the previous toe(s) and Adrienne sent me star toe directions and NOW the socks fit me perfectly. I was swimming in them before. Next I will knit a pair with the correct length of the instep 4 row pattern. Even spending most of the time at the frog pond, I have still enjoyed knitting this lovely sock. I used Maizy by CPY in the "sea gray" color which is a light teal and lovely in person.
Great experience doing this mystery sock and I'm enjoying looking at all the finished projects using different yarns and colors.
When do we get to play again? :)

Mystery Socks!

Here's my pair of Mystery Socks! The yarn is Lion Brand LB 1878 in Claret, which I over-dyed with blue food coloring because I was tired of the original color. These have the plain heel and and the fancy instep.

Thanks for the great pattern! A KAL ended up being the motivation I needed to actually finish a pair of socks.

52-week september and mystery sock!

Hi, had to stop on the socks and do a dishcloth and scrubbie for my MIL's birthday. I used tulle cut into 1 inch strips and Peaches and Creme. The tulle is kind of rough to work with but after you use these for the first time you will be hooked and need to make your own for you. I know it is crochet but I have not found a pattern for a circle in knitting that I like (any ideas?) After both circles are done they are put together. My MIL loves them and they clean all of our pots without damaging them (plus they are machine washable.) I no longer buy sponges but make my own! So much cheaper and cuter too. Super fast project I will probably finish them in a day or so. I will add the yardage on the finished project. Then, back to the socks and a dishcloth set for my Aunt Judy who is moving soon.

Socks

I started these after frogging the first clue of the Mystery socks. Why, I don't know, but this pair had to become a pair of prayer socks. (Secret Prayer Sock Swap) The design is made by me and beside praying for my partner I also found comfort when I picked my knitting back up after the sudden passing of my pappa. A special pair they are...

I used CPY Panda Superwash Evening Blues (2 balls) and 350 meters in yardage went into this pair. Enough to make this count as my September project.
