Chugging along...

Here's another pair, number 5 to be exact. Still not caught up yet, but I'm not giving up! These are for me, knit from sale sock yarn (we love sale yarn!). For reasons I can't figger, I knit these two inches longer than usual. (No wonder they took so long to knit!)

And I was in such a rush to post, we skipped the blocking...pardon us.

Off to start the next pair...

Been knitting, but not blogging here. Blogger seems to hate me, so I'll leave the photos out for now. For details, feel free to browse my blog or my Plunge page.

Suffice it to say, I'm in the middle of Pair 20 and having a blast. I took a sock "breather" in May to work some other projects, a fingering-weight sweater for me and cotton tanks for my daughters.

Nice to see such a huge amount of progress from all!

Pairs 2 - 7

Well, I have been knitting, just not posting... These pairs are all ones that I'd started ages ago but had put aside when I grew tired of plain stockinette and discovered hand-painted sock yarn. It feels good to finally get them off the needles.



Pair 2: Opal Petticoat (stockinette, Addi 1)



Pair 3: TOFUtsies (stockinette, Addi 0



Pair 4: Regia Cotton (stockinette, Addi 0)




Pair 5: Opal Petticoat (stockinette, Addi 0)



Pair 6: Mystery Yarn (basketweave, Addi 1)



Pair 7: Treking XXL (broken rib, Addi 1)

Way Behind But Determined to Catch Up

Pattern: "Seduction Socks" from Interweave Knits
Yarn: "Golden Sunset" from Susan's Spinning Bunny
Needles: Size 2 Addi Turbo circs

Yes that says "1". I'm terribly behind but I am determined to catch up, at least to my personal goal. I have socks cast on all over the place and will just work on them all a little more each day.

Fire on the Mountain - 19/52

Using Fire on the Mountain, medium weight STR from Blue Moon Fiber Arts, my original intention was to knit Vinnland from Anti Craft. But the pattern got lost and will be saved for some solid green yarn that just came in. Switching to 4/1 ribbing on the fronts - knit on 60 stitches on 2,5 mm needles.

The rest of the information can be found on
my blog along with the joys of two weeks of field duty in the back corner of Germany.

4 pairs to add

I think I haven't posted about these 4 pairs yet. This will make my total 6 pairs so far. Counting that I only finished one pair in May, I'm horribly behind. I think I'll knit a few pairs on bigger needles (my fave being 2mm needles for socks) but I'm not going higher then 3mm. Well, with one exception. I fell in love with a pair of socks from Favourite socks, and part of the leg is knit on 4mm needles. I plan on going down to 3,25mm for the foot so it's only cheating a little bit on my own rules!

Anyway, here are the 4 pairs I still needed to show (I wanted to make a nice collage but I can't work Flickr well enough yet and I don't have my usual programs on my new Laptop so I'm just going to do it this way). For more info on the socks go to my Flickr page (by clicking on the picture).



Knit for my Sockret pal! First I couldn't post about them as she hadn't recieved them yet, and then I forgot! They were finished at the very beginning of April, so I'm counting them as a pair (I think I'm a bit desperate as to getting my total amount, but I'm still knitting plenty of socks!). Pattern from Nancy Bush (need to look it up again), with Satakieli yarn.




Pomatomus socks for my sister, Lorna's Laces Sheperd Sport in Bittersweet.




Based on Sensational Knitted Socks, out of left over Lorna's Laces and Dale of Norway Baby Ull. Love them!





Anklets, my own handdyed, toe up with short row heel.


So that's it for this update. Hopefully more socks in the near future! I have plenty on the needles so I don't think it'll be a real problem.

Happy knitting!

Pairs 7 and 8

I've been away from the blog world for a while because my laptop was broken, but I did manage to finish a few pairs of socks!

I finally finished my Hippy Crunchy socks (highly modified) from last year's BMFA Rockin' Sock Club:



I also finished my first pair out of my own handspun, with a big of commercial yarn for the heel, toe, and ribbing:



I didn't intend it, but they make very good Red Sox socks. :)

Pair #8

Pair # 8 is finished. They are knit in OnLine Highlander yarn. Plain Jane stockinette socks. 68 stitches on size 1 needles. This is the only pair I have knit in May so I better get busy or I will surely fall behind.

Good mindless pattern.
What simple pattern will I find for number ten?

2 pairs for May

I was a big slacker this month, I only finished two pairs of socks. I did a pair of plain socks in STR Peaseblossom. I did another pair in the vertical eyelet pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks. I do have one more pair in the works right now, but I've only finished the cuff on the second sock. I hope to get more done in June, I don't want to fall behind!

Pair 7 completed

It's the same Syncopated Rib pattern that I did last time. Opal yarn; size 3 needles.

My 3rd and 4th socks

The 3rd on pattern is Monkey sock by Cookie A, 2mm needles cast on 64 stitches, This is my second pair of Monkey and I enjoy making them very much.

The 4th Pair is plain sock pattern with 64 stitches; 2 mm needles also.

My first pair of toe up. I love knitting toe up but I just cann't the heel going backwards.
