Bee Stripe Socks

I finished these earlier this week, but somehow forgot to post them here (oh the horrors!)

Anyway, they're simple stockinette socks, knit toe-up in Lorna's Laces Bee Stripe. Nothing else notable except the fact that they're quite tall. :)

More socks, but you don't get to see these...

I finished test knitting a pair of socks yesterday, but of course I can't post pictures until the pattern is published, but for your amusement here's some parts that proove they exist:

Cuffs:

Feet:


Now to finish the other few pairs I have on the needles (Bee Socks for Ana, Cedar Creek and Conwy for me) That's actually somewhat of a record for me, only 3 pairs of socks in progress!

Getting "Stranded"

Just so you all didn't think I was full of horse pucky, here's a quick pic:


This is Crusoe. For anyone who may not know, I once had two pairs of this at once on a very long circ. I have since regained my sanity and took one pair off and moved this to a short circ. The other yarn will become a different pair of socks, pattern TBD.

I'm only using the pattern for stitch detail.

Maybe I'll try a different heel, something fancier than a regular flap or short row. The original pattern has a rolled down stockinette cuff; I changed it out for ribbing.

Hedera, coming right up!

I actually finished these a while ago, but I couldn't find my sock blockers because of *the big move* and so I didn't photograph them until now.

Best Foot Forward Socks

Oh my Freakin' hell. I started these suckers back on April 28th. Only now have I finished them. I can't believe it took that long. I'm so ashamed. In my defense, they're knit out of KnitPicks Dancing ("Swing" Colorway) on size 1 needles, so yeah, they sucked up the yarn like nobodies business. Once I hunkered down and really put an effort into it, I had the second one done in about 10 days.


Here's detail on the patterning:


I know the yarn competes with the pattern. I kinda lost my mojo on them due to that. But I still liked the way they were knitting up. They fit like a dream!

I'm Back!

Took me for freakin ever to get on here. I'd forgotten my USERNAME of all things, so I couldn't retrieve my password. Then the old pooter took a nosedive and I was MIA for two weeks. Then I get back in the saddle and STILL can't remember my freakin name.. Well that's all taken care of.

What have I been knitting? I HAD two pairs of socks on one long circ going, but that got to be too much to handle. So I took a pair off the thing and am down to one pair at a time.


I've dyed some sock yarn for my little girls and will soon have some done for my son and a friend's son.

The tulip socks are no more. The yarn will be recycled to become mittens, instead.

Too many socks, so little time, not enough hands.

Pattern FINALLY typed up

I can't guarantee that there aren't typos in it- actually I would be very surprised if there were not typos- so watch out for them.
ZIG ZAG SOCKS

Currently I have a couple pairs on the needles, but I left them both at my parent's house. I think I'm going to have to cast on yet another pair since I won't be back there until Monday or Tuesday! (almost done with my opal prisma jaywalkers, and done with another pair of eyelet cheveron socks from my own handdyed yarn and pattern)
