So these colors are an unusual sight for my socks.<br />I adore Diane/Knitabulls she's a gracious personal.<br /><br />Oh, dear, don't feel too bad I've had a time with needle sizes also. Most of my socks have been knit on Size 2/3mm addi turbos<br />now I am using a Size #1/2.25mm ChiaoGoo<br />taking several attempts to get the sizing correct. But, Hey!, I love to knit.<br />We've had a bit of rain lately. Three inches or so [7.6cm?] and sure love it and need it. This week is going to be cooler and more like Autumn. <br />Thanks for taking time to read and comment on my blog.<br /><br />Valeria's blog: http://valeria1966.wordpress.com/<br /><br /><br />hugsGerryARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730757811478587648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280046644089635726.post-75912939658446370502012-09-06T17:38:55.264-05:002012-09-06T17:38:55.264-05:00AKA NanaMama

Loving the construction.

Had casted on 64 stitches as usual instead of the 52 because they're knitted with 3 mm........ yep ripped it all out and am knitting them now with the right count of stitches and hopefully they'll be ok now. I knit them for my son who's the greatest fan in my whole world ;) He adores my hand knitted socks and will always wear them when it's a bit chilly. <br /><br />Read a lot about the troubles with the drought in the USA, hopefully it will be ok. We had the opposite, way too much rain this summer and cold and that's no fun either. Typical dutch weather ;) But I guess that mother nature needs to get her priorties straigt ;) <br /><br />The last week we got some nicer autumn weather, so we're cleaning up our garden, the tomatoes were a total fail and the blackberries too so they're taken out and it's ok. We'll make some plans for next year. <br /><br />Trying to find a great lace autumn shawl pattern, got a great coat but it needs a fitting shawl so on my way now :) Wishing you a great weekend and lots of enjoyable knitting time with this gorgeous yarn :) <br /><br />Greets<br />Valeria Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280046644089635726.post-972721190660507992012-09-03T12:29:38.312-05:002012-09-03T12:29:38.312-05:00Evelyn, I love that when one is done, it's all...Evelyn, I love that when one is done, it's all DONE ! ! ! <br /><br />I don't feel it takes any longer than if I were knitting one-at-a-time.<br /><br />In the beginning I knit many CoodieA patterns and 2-at-a-time made those complex patterns a breeze to knit. It's like knitting one long pattern so each stitch is at the forefront of my brain. Don't think I would have completed very many pair of CoolieA's sox if I did them one at a time.<br /><br />This time I took the photos of myself holding the work. It's not an easy task LOL<br /><br />I've started my first Miranda Hat for DD#1. hmmmm, me thinks I could have picked a less busy yarn. Oh, Nutz, guess I'll have to knit another Miranda ! ! ! <br />pics soon<br /><br />hugsGerryARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730757811478587648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280046644089635726.post-39573811013353645182012-09-03T12:24:17.053-05:002012-09-03T12:24:17.053-05:00I've already knit four-and-a-half inches 2-a-a...I've already knit four-and-a-half inches 2-a-a-t<br />only about three more inches to the afterthought heel mark.<br /><br />Love doing self-striping, just waiting 'til the next color comes round!!!<br /><br />Hope you new adventure is exciting for you, Ivy.<br /><br /><br />hugsGerryARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730757811478587648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280046644089635726.post-37691778806341653382012-09-03T12:19:20.984-05:002012-09-03T12:19:20.984-05:00I love the toe-up method and seeing your great pic...I love the toe-up method and seeing your great pics is exactly why!!
