Betcha thought the next FO from this blog would be my green hoodie huh? Nope! It stills need some work. Instead, I show you a pair of socks I finished while watching the Steelers lose on Sunday.
Specs:
Yarn: The sock body is Lana Grossa Meilenweit Colortweed, color# 1004. The Heels and Toes are Brown Sheep WildFoote in Deco Lime, color# SY44.
Needles: Inox US 1’s, 29″ circular. My absolut fav for socks.
Pattern: My own, toe-up with turkish cast on and short row heel. Knit magic loop style.
Notes: I have quite a bit of both yarns left over, enough to possibly knit another similar pair. I bought this yarn in Michigan back in July. I think I started these in mid August, and finished the first one pretty quickly, then kind of let the pair lapse. I feels really good to lighten my WIP list!!
Last night I cast on for another pair, using this beautiful Hello Yarn sock yarn I bought about a week ago.
The color is “Flurry” I was really excited to see how this would knit up cause with varigated yarns, you just never know. This is kind of mini striping, and pooling at the same time. I’m liking it so far, and I’m going to keep going. I like to use differant yarn for the heel and toe alot, and usually really like how that looks, but decided to see how this yarn looks by itself.
Hopefully I’ll have my hoodie done soon, soon, soon. James and I are headed up to Detriot, yet again this weekend. To retrieve my hopefully all better car, and celebrate my Birthday *cough cough October 15th cough cough* with the fam. Just a short trip this time, and I’ll be up there agian for T giving and Xmas. This year I’ve been to Dertoit the most ever since I moved away, once a month since July. Crazy.
Happy early b-day. Mine is Oct. 14! Hope you are buying yourself some fun yarn 🙂
Love the sockity socks!
Happy Birthday to you…
hehehee, i’m loven the green toes!
Happy early Birthday girl! Hope you have a great trip to Detroit
Happy early birthday!
Beautiful socks, Love the green. They match perfectly!
Great socks – I love the contrasting heels/toes!
The Hello Yarn socks look a little like the “Daffodil” colorway in Lorna’s that I used a while back!
love the socks! 🙂 i’m an ex-detroiter too but hardly ever go back there. i’m now a tried-and-true city girl and going back to the suburbs is never fun for me! regardless, michigan is not such a bad state to visit 😉
happy early birthday!
That yarn is gorgeous!!
I love those Lana-Brown-Grossa-Sheep socks! (Okay – you need a better name for those! Ha!) And I’m enjoying the new Hello yarn. And they’re both so… green/yellow/blue. Is this a new phase your in, or are you just enjoying them… for now?
Happy early Bday!
hee hee, funny you mention how you love green. when i first saw your socks in bloglines this morning, i made a mental note of the wildefoote color 🙂
and yeah, those 1″ inox circulars are AWESOME! my KSKS pal treated me to a pair and i have to discipline myself from wanting to use them for all of my socks-knitting needs.
celebrating birthday with family is always good 🙂 hope you get some yarny goodness for your birthday!
Happy early birthday!! Love those socks – the bright lime heels and toes really make ’em fun.
Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day with lots of cake.
Those greenie socks are adorable. The contrast heel and toe really set that yarn off. Nice work.
i love the colors in your sock!
Wow! My favorite colors! Yummy. 🙂
Happy birthday!
