Refelections!

Today is a great day to refelect on the happenings around us!
the world appears to be falling apart around us, the news just tells of more layoffs, more wars, killings, and all the bad around us..........but yet the world keeps turning and the seasons are still changing. Soon Spring will be here and the world will be colorful and vibrant again. Despite a snowy winter here in New England, at least we can say other areas have had it much worse than we, the white refreshed snow fall at least adds a brightness we seem to need. As you continue to shovel and plow, take a moment to stop and look at the scene around you, the white freshly fallen snow, the birds singing in the trees getting ready to start nesting, the squirrels running to and fro looking for yet more food, bare in mind that below the snow the roots of the flowers are growing and strenghten waiting,waiting,waiting for Mother Nature to tell them it's time to bring their color into the world. The color of the new season will be here before we know it as each season seems to fly faster than the last! Enjoy today as you go through it and remember :: Tomorrow is a new adventure to be explored when it becomes today!
have a great day!

Pair 22 finally done. That took forever...or at least it seemed to. I don't quire recall when I started these and of course I forgot to write it down. The pattern is Lacy Mock Cable Socks. I had started a pair of plain toe up socks when I fell in love with the pattern after finishing a pair of socks for a friend in this pattern. The yarn is KnitPicks Felici in the Hummingbird colorway. Onward to pair 23 :)

I'm starting the new year off right with a couple pairs of socks:

Pair 17:



Thuja in Interlacements Toasty Toes

New Year's Resolutions...

I think we are about halfway to 52 weeks and EEEKS!!! I am very far behind. I have some sock orphans...they have no mates. I am resolving to finish some of my UFO's. I have a sweater due to my LYS by Valentine's Day that is about long enough for a Barbie at this point. I have comitted to 20 minutes of knitting for Socks for Solciers. So here is my next pair for 52 PPII. I just gifted these to my friend, Cheryl. They are made with Galway on size 4 needles.
Back to knit a bit!

Pairs 4-15

Hmm... I guess I'm doing ok with the sock knitting but not too well with the posting.

While moving cross-country and since then I've knit a few pairs of socks - I'll post pictures of a couple but all of them are on my blog.

The socks that drove across the country with me:



The Kauni rainbow socks:



And some wedding socks for a friend:

Pair 6

Here are pair 6. Time for some serious catching up I think!

These are Bunny Hop Socks knitted in Wendy Mode dk on 3.75mm dpns.

AngieLou My Mersey Paradise

pairs 13 and 14

Finished a little christmas sock knitting. This pair is for my niece. Woman's size 10 Opal crocodile in browns and oranges.

And this pair is for my niece's hubby. DGB Confetti yarn in blue/black/white colorways. These are a men's size 10 xw foot. I had issues finding the repeat so I ended up doing the tops in maroon knitpicks. I love them.

Pairs 16 through 21. These were a hoot to make. I got the pattern from "Last Minute Knitted Gifts". I just altered the pattern a little bit and added a crochet chain and turned a pair into a book thong. These were Christmas gifts.

Pair 15 finally finished. Well, they've been done for a while, but with all the Christmas knitting, I just didn't have time to take a pic and get it uploaded.

Pair #10. 

Cascade Handpaint - wonderful yarn, great color! I used a not too fussy lace pattern and it looks great (IMHO) in this yarn.

I hope she likes them. More on that eventually.

9 down

I've finally posted picture of #9!!! ALthough these socks look goofy as heck color-way-wise (great grammar, eh?), they are really fun and always make me smile. Whether they'll actually be worn by their recipient... 

Pair #26 Completed

I used my own Bella Catena Italiana pattern, modified the heel to incorporate ribbing, and modified the foot to ribbing as well. The yarn is Shibui Sock in Kiwi, knit on 2.00 mm needles.
