Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Fair Isle
This is my very first Fair Isle project and I love it!! I have knit the Corazon mittens from Knitty. The pattern can be found here http://www.knitty.com/issuewinter06/PATTcorazon.html
I used Lion Brand Micro Spun yarn, in the colors white and Turquoise. I know that I will try many more Fair Isle knit patterns. I really enjoyed knitting these mittens

Chain Link Socks
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: 2 color socks
This is my first pair of 2 color socks. I just love them. I used Knit Picks Essential, the color Gulf Stream for the main color of my socks. My Contrasting color is Patons Grace, the color rose. I love the contrast in these 2 colors. It makes the design of the chin link show up nicely. The socks fit perfectly! The pattern for these socks can be found at http://oc-knitiots-freebies.blogspot.com  This pattern was written for 2 circular needles, but I used DPN to knit this pair.

Checked Slip Stitch Cloth

I have finished another 2 color slip stitch cloth. I am ready to knit 2 color socks now. Actually I have cast on my 2 color socks, and have about 1 inch of the cuff done.

The pattern for this cloth can be found at

http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/clothslip.htm

The reason that I knit this cloth with purple and green is, because I had purple and green yarn in my knitting basket next to my knittting chair, so I decided to use the 2 colors together. I was to lazy to walk upstairs to my yarn closet.
