Socks Rock

PS3 Fire socks completed!
Pattern: Yarn Harlot's generic sock pattern from Knitting Rules
Yarn: Trekking XXL

These socks were my quickest knit socks so far. They are a little snug so I don't know if I will keep them or give them away. They have some ladders in a few places so I'm not sure if I am comfortable giving them to anyone. I thought about my mom but the colors may be a bit bright for her.

Monkey socks on the needles. I started the Monkey socks last weekend after finishing the PS3 socks. So far I'm really liking them. This is my first time to knit with Koigu and now I know what all of the fuss is about. I'm definitely going to try and make these socks fit me.

There has been a lot of sock yarn stash enhancement over the last few weeks.

Can't wait to knit with the Socks that Rock!

Socktoberfest 2007

Socktoberfest is almost over and my goal of two pairs of socks has been missed by a mile. I did finish one sock for my mom. I actually finished it a few weeks ago but it was too short in the foot so this weekend I frogged the toe and increased the foot length and finished it again.


Since I had such a rough time with my Jaywalkers, I am going to put them on hold for a while. I might try the toe up pattern to see if I can get them to fit better.

Home Sweet Home

I know this was originally set up as a knitting blog and I do have a little bit of knitting content but I also have some house and flower pics I wanted to share. We have now lived in our house for a little over a month and while we haven't taken on any major projects, we've made a few small things happen.

Here's the house (I love my front porch!)


Here's the flower bed we put in a few weeks ago (the flowers aren't doing so hot yet.)


Here's the back deck


Here's some containers I planted

And last but not least, the one thing no Southern girl can live without on her front porch


My husband is leaving early tomorrow morning and will be gone until late Friday night on a business trip so I have a whole week to keep myself occupied at night. Other than having dinner with a friend, I think I will spend most nights getting back into my knitting. I bought some Zephyr yarn in a deep blue and am now searching for the perfect lace pattern to do. I've also been going back through last year's issues of IK with the lace articles trying to get ready and catching up on knitting podcasts. In the meantime I have picked up a pair of socks I started last year and am now on the foot after finishing the heel and gusset over Memorial Day weekend. Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather!
