KAL Cauchy

Since I have changed yarn for this KAL
[Knit A  Long]
the pattern has emerged.
Unlike the previous yarn choice
this lighter, solid shade
certain does Cookie A's pattern right.

The cuff and heel which is knit in a green yarn
in an attempt to use up stashed yarn.

The Raverly Cookie A
Knit.Sock.Love KAL
officially begins in January
so this means poor little ol' me will have to
do a little yarn shopping for
some solid yarn
so that the intricate stitches are shown to their best.
Poor me .  .  .  .

Have also been sewing and
gee, guess what,
ORGANIZING ! ! !

Haven't made much headway on any of these fronts.

Hugs

I knew this wasn't the best choice . . .

You know I joined Rav's Cookie A Designed Socks KAL.

And, you know I chose to use this self-striping yarn

which I knew wasn't a good yarn to knit any kind of a pattern and expect it to show up.

Can you see any pattern besides the ribbed cuff?

These sox are destined to be frogged [rip-it, rip-it, rip-it out]

back to the ribbed cuff.

I've found some solid color yarn that I'll begin 

once more making Cauchy.

I'll post photos of the new sox/yarn as soon as 

I do more than Cast On.

Michele of     michele made me   tells us all about 

her newest Brain Wave.

This gal really comes up with some creative ideas and this one is right at the top of the list.

Make a Fabric Turner

Daughter Deb and I spent this afternoon sewing.

Cut 400+ inches of 2.5" binding strips.

GO! figure ! ! ! !   We used the GO! ! ! 

Once she squared up her Patriotic Stars quilt

she was able to get the binding sewn on to the back of the quilt.

We attempted to use Pat Sloan's machine method of finishing the binding but we were not successful.

We have not given up on Pat's way and we will

give it a try again down the line.

Here it is mid-week already

Cookie A's new sock book is just about to come out.

Shipping date November 20th 

I've pre-ordered my copy. 

YeeHaw

You may remember I joined the Rav group for Cookie A's book

Sock Innovation last year

and committed to the KAL.

Sad to say my intentions were disrupted in September 

when hubby encountered a  couple of medical problems.

Well, those problems have sorted themselves out so that we are back to our usual routine more or less.

So when I was invited to join a new Cookie A RAV Group: 

Knit. Sock. Love.

I jumped right in

[wearing hand knit sox no less]

You still have time to join in the fun

RAV Knit.Sock.Love Group  

There are already 181 of us.

There's to be the beloved KAL 

which/that won't begin until after the holidays.

In the meantime, we are doing a 

Free For All KAL

Any Cookie A pattern.

So I decided to knit a pattern from Sock Innovation.

Cauchy is a simple knit-purl combo that 

forms lines that resemble inequality signs.

You know I favor Toe-Up Magic Loop Method of knitting sox, 

but this time it'll be Cuff Down still on Magic Loop Method ending with the Kirtchner Stitch.  Oh, happy day ! ! ! .

While I ordered my copy of SKL I also purchased a 

pdf downloadable copy.

I want to have a jump on picking my faves so I'll be ready when voting time to chose a pattern for January comes 'round...

Here a pic of Cauchy just past the cuff section

I'm having lots of fun getting back into knitting

Cookie A designs.

I've been following a really good blog titled  Blog Buddy  

If you haven't found this blog and have had issues with Google Blogger, well  -  -  -  -

The Blog Boddy is the brain child of

Karen of Sew Many Ways

What she sez about her Blog Buddy idea:

"What is a blog buddy you ask. Well, I have had so many emails asking me different questions about blogging, pictures, emails, blog buttons, how to follow a blog, etc...I thought I would start a feature on my blog called Blog Buddy. This ongoing section of my blog will give tips and helpful hints for you, your computer, your blog and blogging in general. I blog through Blogger, so most of the info will be about Blogger. This will be a "go to" feature for blogging help."

IF you've ever had questions about or problems with Google Blogger you just may be able to get a resolution by visiting Karen's blog.
