... posting two days in a row. It is not my usual practice.
Completed these socks last night, waited and hoped for sunshine today. There has been none, so this is the best picture I could get today.
Socks for me with the regular pattern. Lang JaWoll Aktion #189 on US1 circs.
Back to my knitting nest. . .
I know Summer isn't here, yet. Really, Spring hasn't sprung, either!
These short, summer socks were knit with Fortissima Cotton Colori, white with pink and blue. The finished socks weigh 42grams, there is about 56grams remaining. I have enough to make another pair for a special little friend. Or perhaps, share the yarn with someone else. To ponder. . .
What are you knitting for summer?
Just finished these socks for my husband. They are Lang LaWoll Aktion 201. He loves these colors.
Detail picture of colors. They are pretty true.
More socks on the way, stay tuned.
I have a wonderful friend. She has given me several different sock yarns to knit. These are the socks I knit for myself from the last yarn she gave me.
The yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in Black Purl. I used my same old pattern with an added picot hem at the top. They are knee high, I knit them with the 2 skeins (200 yds ea) with very little yarn left over. Can you say WARM?
Thank you D, for the yarn.
Socks for the guy... he picked the color. They are so bright and beautiful. I'd like to knit another pair of socks using the bright colored yarn with a darker background color in a two-color pattern. Someday...
And they match!
I knit these with Lang JaWoll #132.0199. It is wonderful yarn and really a joy to knit. I use a very loose bindoff at the cuff, that's why they look a little ruffled. My husband will wear bright colors or even pink or orange; however, I think he'd balk at the ruffles. . .
Finished these Trekking XXL 158 socks last evening. Blocked them today. AND guess what? There was bright sunshine for pictures!
I love Trekking sock yarn. It makes wonderful, comfortable socks. However, there always is a color discrepancy. I know that they do not match most of the time, there is only one small problem this time. The color sequence on the foot of the bottom sock has two groups of orange in a row. Otherwise, these socks would have matched completely.
I love the colors in these socks.
Thought I'd change the look of my blog. Do you like it? Think it might entice me to post more often?? I hope so. I should either put up or shut up and delete this blog.
I have no pictures to post today. Socks and lace are all that I have knitted lately. My husband is waiting for his new re-knit sweater. I'm re-knitting an old sweater originally knit BC (before child). It is a fitted ski-type sweater knit flat. I am knitting it in the round with better yarns, this time. More details when I get it completed.
Have a good weekend.
