April Greens . . . Just a Few Days into May

Here are my late April socks, made with Austermann Step Sock Yarn with Aloe Vera. Very soft to knit and to wear. Once I got going, these didn't take so long -- size 2 needles. It's a basic step sock pattern I got online from Mary Maxim.
For May I'm trying circular needles for the first time. Wish me luck!

Brigid - April Socks finished

Finished these Brigid socks yesterday. Love the cable pattern. They are quick to knit as they use dk yarn, and the pattern is easy.

Lovely and warm socks.
The colour is actually the rose colour left.

Not What I Planned

Hi folks,
I had planned on finishing a totally different pair of socks this month--specifically Pomatomus socks in a variegated purple. However, they're not going very well. So I set them aside for a bit and dug out an old skein of Opal, and made these this week. I am especially proud of how perfectly matched they are.

April Greens

It's sure fun to look at other people's great projects. As March ended, I reluctantly frogged my springy cotton yellow/purple/pink too-huge socks. Boohoo . . . but my April socks in Austermann Step with Aloe Vera have cheered me up. Very soft yarn. Here's the first one. Today I was talking too much at knitting group, so I need to redo a few rows. However, the second sock is moving along well. Maybe I'll get back to the March socks one of these days.
