Heels and Toes Socks


Ah, a pair of socks finished for when autumn leaves are falling.  I bought this yarn when I was visiting my sister last November.  I was attracted to that brilliant yellow and new I needed a pair of socks.  Who knew I would be treasuring that memory of browsing a store without a care in the world!


The sock pattern is a memorized pattern with 64 stitches cast on on size 2 needles constructed from the cuff down.  The body of the leg consists of four rows of stockinette and two rows of 2x2 rib.  Easy peasy.


What are you working on this week?

I have high hopes of finishing a cross stitch project in less than a week.  It's a daring goal.

    What fun socks. Grey and yellow are always great together and I really like the pattern you knit. I'm plugging away on various projects - socks (or course), a Hitchhiker and some Granny Squares.

    Look at you, living on the edge with your daring goal of a fast cross-stitch project! I love those socks, especially because they remind you of a lovely, easier time. I'm knitting my next Hitchhiker (of course)!

    Love the gray and yellow together. A real perky combo for those dreary days of winter. What heel.did you use? Looks like the FKL. Just checking as I am getting ready to make my first pair of socks with heels and toes in different color than the main body. A cross stirch in a week? Amazing!!!

    Great socks come with a treasure of memories. The yellow is going to feel like a bright cheerful spot next winter. I seem to be in a pink and white phase - a new shawl and a Love and Hearts Hat for my granddaughter. Colors in my knitting seem to come clumped together. Who knew?

    Re: your comment on my blog... Pin curling hair reminding you of your Grandmother, who did that, to you, and you hated it. I did it, to my daughter too. >,-)))) Always wanted a curly haired child. -smirk- ~evil mama~

    Love the socks, the colours are a great combination. I realised, last night, I had knitted a stitch all week! We watched a film last night and put that right!

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
