Five down..
Five to go, (that is, if I don't finish anything before I've blogged all my backlogged FO's)
Did you have any doubt in your mind that socks would make up the majority of the 10 items I haven't blogged about? C'mon now! Count 'em up, five pairs knit between April and August.
mamaFasu's Birthday socks
Pattern: 3x1 ribbed socks
Yarn: Regia Jubilee, 1 skein
Needles: Inox 2.25mm
Your basic 3x1 rib, my go to ribbing pattern. Nothing fancy here.
Pattern: Charade, Sandra of I May Be Knitting a Ranch House fame
Yarn: Yarn Pirate in Pure Knits, 1 skein
Needles: Addi Turbo 2.0mm
These were problem socks, not the pattern, but the yarn! It kept pooling something awful no matter what pattern. So I decided to start another pattern but from the other end of the ball and guess what, it worked!
Pattern: 3x1 ribbed socks
Yarn: Yarn Pirate in Shamrock, 1 skein
Needles: Addi Turbo 2.0mm
These socks are also known as the Incredible Hulk Socks, named, of course, by B himself. They're his socks so he can call them what he wants. I had the same pooling problem with this yarn as well, but hey, it pooled into stripes which is helluva lot better than pooling in to blobs any day!
Pattern: Conwy, Nancy Bush from Knitting on the Road
Yarn: Koigu KPM, 2 skeins, color 242040
Needles: Addi Turbo 2.5mm
Love these socks and now I finally have a pair of my own! I knit my first pair for Lori two years ago for a holiday sock swap. This time I knit them exactly as written and only used two skeins, but just barely as only a few yards were left from each skein.
Pattern: basic stockinette sock with cuff from Giotto sock pattern
Yarn: Cookie A. yarn, 1 skein
Needles: Inox circulars and Crystal Palace dpns 2.25mm
This pair of socks were blatantly copied from Kris. That woman and her socks never fail to impress, I tell ya. I want to make every pair she makes.
And to appease the shoes with socks god(s)..
No worries, B's wearing shorts. It's not quite cool enough to bust out the hand knit socks, but it's getting there. Fall weather, hurry up and get here already!
