to finish knitting my 6th Christmas sock.

We have had a fair amount of snow the last couple of days so the more woolly things we have to keep us warm the better!

Have a great week and enjoy your knitting.

number 1 is all knitted up. He just needs his “mate” now.

My current work in progress:  

THEA 

 

I am using Rowan Kid Classic in claret – a lovely red wine colour.

Well today was a bit more human weather wise with a little bit of the cheery sunshine. Rumour has it it warmed up for one day only – back to minus 5 tomorrow!

Better get knitting those winter woolies!

Happy Knitting

Who would have believed we are in to December. Very cold too, colder than I ever remember it being this time of year. Fortunately we have not had too much snow aroud here but there is time yet!

Anyway good progress on the 3rd pair of Christmas socks.

I love the sparkly bits in these but they do feel a little thinner than the others I have knitted. Nevermind I am beginning to think I should be knitting 6 ply socks to keep the tootsies warm and snug throughout winter.

Hi

It may have been a little quiet around here of late but there has been knitting albeit in small dozes.

                             Some Christmas socks – 2 out of 3 pairs finished!

Emma is also finished and I am busy sewing the final touches to her – she wouldn’t go over my head at the first attempt. Never mind if at first you don’t suceed try try again.

More of that white stuff is forecast let’s hope it is nothing compared to last winter.

Happy Knitting.

My latest project is Emma.

The yarn is hand dyed in Chile, called Azapa and is 30% alpaca, 45% merino, 15% silk and 10% donegal – soft as soft! Love it.

Better get knitting on those sleeves so I can wear the jumper!

Happy knitting

I do intend to finish this and then it is going in to the “sew-up” box and I am going to concentrate on my winter jumpers. I have a few things to sew up all of which are Spring / Summer garments so I will do them over the course of the next 6 months ready for Spring 2011!

Ok so Christmas is a little way’s off but I needed something cheery for a “long” journey earlier in the week.

The trick now is working out where the pattern repeat starts. The yarn for these socks was very expensive so I kind of feel a duty to “match” the pair.

Have a great week-end.

Christmas is coming…..

Progressing nicely

Not had time to do much knitting on this this evening but I don’t think it will take me long once I get going! I have done a few rounds of a “second sock” whilst my iPad updates – it is all second …….. at the moment!

Happy knitting.
