L♥ve 'em.


On to Works-in-Progress
again, the third and last pair in the 6-on-a-stick project.


Frogged [that's ripped out to non-knitters]
this pair from mid-foot back to the leg/cuff part of the sock.
I am trying a brand new technique I've learned.
The Afterthought Heel.
Afterthought being that a length of waste yarn [in this case a piece of blue yarn] is knit into the sock
at the point where the heel is to be knit 
after the sock is knit to the
toe and finished.

At that point,
the stitches on either side of the waste yarn our picked up on needles and the heel is knit.

I'll post photos as I go along.

Next WiP:


Sunshine and Lime
my Camp Loopy Project II socks.

Knit from the toe up in stockinette stitch
will use the afterthought heel technique.
Project II for Camp Loopy must use
Cable Stitch in the design.
I will be knitting 
a Cookie A designed sox by the name of
what else? but
SUNSHINE
a cables with lace pattern.

  3. I have a busy day today but when I spotted the green socks glowing on my blogger dashboard I just had to have a look, lol!
    I'm afraid that now I've seen those delicious stripey ones and the bright yummy citrusy sunshine ones the greens will have to be in third favourite position.
    Thanks for brightening my winter day today :).
    Cheers,
    Robyn

  12. What a fun collection of socks! That first pair are really green. They'll be great for St. Patrick's day.

    Two at time magic loop style is the way I knit socks also.
