FINALLY SOME SOCKS


Socks that Rock March shipment: "Electric Koolaid Acid Test" colorway and the
pattern is one of the club patters, Intrepid Traveler. I knit is toe-up with an
afterthought heel.

With our unseasonable cold weather, I am still wearing my wool socks! Is June
really tomorrow?!

SOCK LOVE


I won this yarn on the Sock-a-Month Club. It was like it was picked just for me
and I had to cast on immediately! Just a 3x2 rib. The yarn is Scout's SWAG in
Snowbunny.


This was Hazel Knits colorway "Belle" that I used for Through-the-Loops
Socktober Mystery Sock KAL 2010. You would have thought I would have learned
from the 2009 socks that her patterns are over-the-top. Very fussy with twists
and cables. I like how they turned out, but they were a bear to knit. Next up:
plain vanilla socks!

HATS GALORE!


On a hat jag of late. Here is top down ear-flap hat knit in Noro for my friend
Cerena. She wanted something muted and neutral. It fit perfectly and she loves
it!

Simple Slouch Hat for a friend who lost her hair due to chemo --not a happy
knit, but she really needed it.
And my wild Mountain Nights Toque. This sure brightens up a winter day! Love the
yarn:

Material Whirled Muse Hand Dyed.

I LOVE WINTER


This is one of the reasons -- handmade socks. As you can see I have worn a few
pairs in the last week or so. They are drying in the sun. Don't let that sun
fool you --it is cold here. Not by National standards, but California ones! We
freeze to death if it gets below 70! It is 5PM and 38 degrees!Winter is a time
to look inward and conserve our energy. Yoga instead of running, warm foods (no
salads or raw foods ), quiet activities. Everything around us is quieter: birds,
plants, and animals are laying low waiting for spring. I am trying to do the
same and I hope that winter is a reflective, quiet time for you too.

WEE TINY SOCKS!


Told you all way back that I would post some Wee Tiny Socks . This a monthly
shipment of yarn, a blocker, and some extras every month. I am am slowly
catching up! Here is July's "Wee Tiny Fireworks". The beading was fun. The
lace-weight, doubled, in black, was NOT!

June's "Wee Tiny Campfire Socks". See those flames?


May's "Wee Tiny Flower" knit sideways.

Aprils' "Wee Tiny Raindrop".

And March's "Wee Tiny Aran Socks" -- not a cable fan, so this was not my
favorite...

I have August - December to do still. Thanks goodness they are small!

SOME GREAT KITS


This is from my Wee Tiny Sock Club -- the Wee Tiny Origami Kit. Lovely yarn and
stitch marker.
I just love her kits. I am way behind! I think I have 5 to do!

This is the much anticipated Java Kit from Woolgirl. Tons of goodies, mug stitch
marker, coffee scented tag and lotions, lip balm, chocolate coated spoon, coffee
candies, gift tags, 2 patterns, coffee, a mug cozy, and the best bag! The yarn
is called "Aunt Honey"

Fa-la-la-la-la Kit from Simply Socks. The yarn is cashmere baby! The bag is fun
and I got gift tags and these great bottle-cap magnets.

Now to knit with some if it!
