Ah The Joy of Sock Knittiing

I admit I haven't knitted sock in ages, okay maybe about 2 years. So the needle shock was quite alarming at first. To go from knitting with size 7's constantly to size 1 dpns...took a bit of adjusting. But I love my socks now! I won't take them off - ok to wash only LOL! Here's the pair, the yarn is Trekking XXL in greens/blue I think I have enough left over to make my daughter a matching pair. ;-)

My daughter's punk skirtie

I had originally planned to sell this on my cart. But after it was sitting here for awhile with no buyers, I just fell in love with it and no can't part with it. Plus it just looks so darn cute on my baby!!

All Done!!

Just finished these shorties with that handpainted yarn. I love how they came out!

Lovin It!!

I am so loving this colorway! I dyed up some Cascade 220 wool. I actually like the Cascade, I've been told that it's similar to Knit Picks WOTA - but I really don't like WOTA and I like this...so IMO they aren't that similar. Anyhow, I was going for a purple/blue/green colorway and actually ended up with a very boyish blue/yellow/green/brown. It's knitting up very nice. These are going to be shorties for a custom. I hope I can remember the exact color mix to recreate it later. It was handpainted and boy is that so much more fun than kettle dyeing!!
