3rd Pair for July

Never have I ever finished 3 pair of socks in one month before, until now! I must have some hot sock mojo going on this summer.



Pattern: Charade by Sandra Park

Yarn: Fearless Fibers Superwash Merino Wool Sock Yarn

Colorway: Midnight Passion

Needles: Size 2 Addi Lace Circular.

Cast On: July 11, 2008

Here is the next sock yarn from my stash that I'm going to use.


It's Cheeky Monkey Fibers Sock Yarn in the Water Nymph colorway, which is a pastel lime green, violet, and white in a 75% superwash merino wool/25% nylon blend. It is one of the softest sock yarns I've felt in a long time. I bought it some time last summer. In keeping with the hot sock mojo, I have already cast on and started the next pair of socks.



This will be my first pair of toe up socks. So far so good. I tried the Turkish cast on, and it went well.


Have a great day.

Petticoat 1295

I finally have finished my Opal Petticoat socks.




Pattern: My own.

Yarn: Opal Petticoat in #1295 colorway.

Needles: Size 2 Addi Turbo Lace Circular.

Cast On: June 12, 2008

Completed: July 18, 2008

Comments: I made this pattern up myself. I really like the way garter rib patterns look with self striping yarn. I am writing this pattern up to post on my blog (for free) so check in once in awhile to see if it's up. I hope to have it up in about a week. (Maybe sooner.)

Here's a close up of the stitch pattern.



Have a great day.
