happyNow Playing: These socks are so sfot on my feet
I wanted to knit these Waterloose Socks, but I didn't have any DK weight yarn so I used Bernat Softee Baby in the color soft lilac. I am not sure how durable this yarn will be for socks , but they feel so soft on my feet and fit perfectly! I think that they are the best fitting socks that I have ever knit. The pattern is here at http://lionessdesign.dk/Waterloose_socks_by_Randi%20Knudsen.pdf
It is a simple feather and fan pattern and knits up pretty quick.

Broadripple socks
Mood: happy
Now Playing: I can knit socks again!!
Mood:
happyNow Playing: I can knit socks again!!
I was in a sock knitting slump. I just could not knit a sock. I bet that I cast on, and frogged 4 different pair of socks before I found a pattern that I could cast on and knit. These are the Broadripple socks. This is a very easy pattern. Knit on size 3 needles. Their are only 2 rounds in the knit pattern. I followed the pattern exactly for this sock until I got to the toe finishing. The day that I was finishing the toe on this sock. The show Knitty Gritty was on TV. I watched it, and on that show they just gathered the stitches together, and finished the toe like you would the top of a hat. So that is what I did. This is a very easy way to finish the toe of a sock. The heel on this sock is 3 inches long. That is a little to long for me, but I knit the heel just like the pattern said to, and I came out to be 3 inches. The pattern for this sock can be found at http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer03/PATTbroadripple.html
I used Knit Picks yarn for these socks.

Feather and Fan scarf
Mood: cool
Mood:
coolI knit this Feather and Fan scarf using Moonlight Mohair yarn. The color coral reef. I really like the color of this scarf. It didn't start out as a Feather and Fan scarf. I was knitting a different pattern, It was very wide and was more like a wrap. I would have had to buy more yarn to complete the wrap, so I frogged it and made this Feather and Fan scarf instead. I followed a dishcloth pattern for a Feather and Fan dishcloth, which will be on my needles this afternoon. I am going to stay in and knit all day because it is very, very cold out today.
