    September 26, 2011 by sunrisesister

    Seriously. There is bright, happy, cheerful sock yarn… and then there is this.

    Sweet merciful crap.

    Eyemeltingly bright.

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

     


  2. FO: PSC2011 August Tropical Tingle

    September 12, 2011 by sunrisesister

    I have to confess, I lost momentum for this in August, and fell behind. But here we are, back up to date!

    Rainbow socks for a boy.

     

    Yes, these are kids socks, and they are going to my friends son, who requested some loud socks. But what I *did* finally tackle is 2 socks on one circular needle! And guess what! The world didnt implode!

    It was surprisingly fast – magic loop is so much quicker, and working two socks at a time means no Second Sock Syndrome! I will be doing this from now on.

    It’s RAINING BABBYS

    I whipped these up for newborn gifts, using a brilliant little pattern called Malibu Beanie, by Amy Miller. I used oddments of Sublime baby cashmerino silk DK, and BWM Melody. Perfect!

  5. FO: Traveling Woman

    This was a very enjoyable knit! I will get some decent pics when it’s worn at the wedding very soon ;)

    Weird shape, but still pretty.

     

    My first blocking attempt. The shape was just not right (I knitted the smallest size, but added extra lace repeats) – thankfully my friend Lucy is a blocking pro, and rescued it!

     

    Lucy fixed it :)

    Much better! The red is hard to photograph, as it’s a wonderful deep rich red.

    Pattern: Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante

    Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug, in Vatican Pie

    Sticks: 4, 4.5mm
