  1. PSC2011 Complete

    December 8, 2011 by sunrisesister

    And with those socks, my Personal Sock Club for 2011 is finished :)

     

    mosaic02b26ec6b3fdae13966b98ebddf4ec08bae4129a

     

    The stats:

    6 pairs of adult socks

    2 pairs of baby socks

    1 pair of toddler socks

    one pair of mittens

    and a shawl.

    2 skeins of yarn were re-homed or given away to allow for a month off (Wedding, november) and another ball that was full of knots, and I had to admit defeat.

    All in all, a GREAT stashbusting exercise. I have plans for a similar thing for 2012!

     


  2. FO: Possum for a Bilby

    December 8, 2011 by sunrisesister

     

    These socks were a joy to knit. The yarn is squishy, soft, and yet somehow cool to the touch. A little fluffier than my usual yarn choice.

    Yarn: Waikiwi sock yarn – possum, merino, alpaca nylon blend

    Needles: 2.75mm circular needle (Addi turbo)

    Pattern: made up.

  4. FO: PSC2011 September Neon as F*ck

    Awful photo, thanks to the sky going dark at 3pm for a massive storm!

    So glad these are done. I was a little over the glaring crazy neon by the end.

    I have one more skein (very similar, if not the same) of this yarn up for grabs. If you want it. comment here and I will pick a winner :)

    Sweet merciful crap.

    Eyemeltingly bright.

    But fun. Tadpoles pattern, again, quick and easy, and on one needle again.
