March KAL Socks

Finally finished my March Socks... I did all the knitting during the month of March and finished the kitchener toes today. I took some indoor and outdoor pictures. All details on my Ravelry page.

2nd pair for March

I have finally finished the 2nd sock to the pair I started back in *&$$# ...... we won't say when *giggle* This pair was knit toe-up.

This pair was made with Tofutsies.

Pattern is Crosshatch Lace from More Sensational Knitted Socks.



I have to say wearing handknitted socks feels very different then regular socks. I feel like I can feel every stitch on the balls of my feet. So weird. But my socks are still a bit loser than I would like. How many pairs will I have to knit before I really get the hang of knitting the "just right" size for my feet??

Tammy's February & March Socks

I was so ambitious in February that I started 2 pairs of socks. Unfortunately, it took me until last week to finish them both.

February's Merino Lace Socks from Favorite Socks

Madelintosh Sock Yarn in Mourning Dove

(I really did finish but camera troubles prevented me from getting a picture before I gifted them to a friend.)

March's Groovy Lace Socks

Dream in Color Smooshy in Cool Fire

March socks finished

Finished these pair of burgundy marble Helter Skelter socks last night. A nice spiral patterned tube socks, from the pattern in Simply Knitting magazine.

Photo is not too good, but they're a lovely stretch pair, warm and cuddly for winter.A gift for a friend this coming Xmas.

Have decided to make a pair of Brigid socks next month.

March Update

I've finished two pair so far this month.


These were done in Fortissima Colori Mexiko #24 in a basic rib pattern. I wore them this week, and they fit great. I hope they soften a little after the wash. They're a little scratchy. I bought this yarn when I was at Stitches West, so no real stash busting with this one.


These are Zombie, from Sock Madness 2, Round 1. I used Cosmic Fibers Sweet Transvestite for these. The pattern was great! I'm looking forward to seeing what the next round will bring. I've had this in the "to do" basket for almost a year. I'm glad I held on to it. I know Rocky Horror has little to do with Zombie's, but the floorshow sequence seemed close enough.

I post WIP's on Wednesday's and FO's on Friday's on my blog. Come take a look.

Thanks,

Pink for Spring

Hi! I just joined this knit along and am glad to be aboard. My New Years resolution this year is to knit one pair of socks each month from my stash, so when I found this knit along, it suit my purposes very nicely.

I've been knitting for 40 years. My Dad taught me how to knit when I was just 9 years old. I've only been knitting socks a few years though. I've become quite addicted to sock knitting.

For January I made Some I Love Gansey socks using Red Shi Bui sock yarn that I bought last summer. I felt this sudden urge to have red socks for some reason.


In February I made socks for my daughters fiance. He wasn't her fiance then. Just her boyfriend. He asked her to marry him last Friday, so I'm thinking maybe the boyfriend curse doesn't work on future son-in-laws. I used my favorite basic sock pattern with 7x1 rib and Eye of Partridge heel. Yarn: Fearless Fibers 100% Superwash Merino Sock, a fingering weight in the Sublime colorway. Fearless Fibers is my most favorite sock yarn.


For March I'm making a pair of Jaywalker socks for me. I'm using Fearless Fibers 100% Classic Merino sock yarn in the Peppermint colorway. I finished the first sock yesterday and cast on the second one in the evening. No, I don't suffer from second sock syndrome. I get so thrilled when I see the first one done that I get all anxious and excited to finish the second one! I'm strange that way.


Looking forward to knitting socks with all of you.

Take care,

Tidal Wave!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the group and fair new to socks. I've been knitting for a little over two and a half years. I have one sock done in a Tofutsie and started the second, but the Christmas gift making got in the way and I can't seem to find it right now. I know it's somewhere in the house. I have been stashing sock yarn and sock patterns for almost a year now and I want to start using some of it! So I thought this group might help keep me moving along in my sock adventures.

Anyhoo, I went to a Sock Yarn party over the weekend. A woman in our knitting group has been dying yarn for around 20 or so years and now she's starting her own business so the group threw her a party to get her started. She had some gorgeous colors! Not like I really needed more sock yarn, but the colors were so gorgeous I just couldn't resist! (I bought 6 skeins, but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone) While at the party I cast one for a sock! Here's the Tidal Wave in this gorgeous Teal she had!



Oh, the yarn is from Sheila Rovelstad Designs. It's a Ravelry link.

Helter Skelter socks

Finished these Helter Skelter tube socks - pattern from Simply Knitting magazine, knitted in James Brett pink Marble.


Hope to knit another pair of these in burgundy this month too.

~ March Socks ~

I've finished the emergency socks and they will count as my march socks too. ;D I began these 2wks ago and finished the 1st sock in about day and half but it took over a week to make the 2nd. I'm now burned out and don't have a desire to make anything. I'm hoping after a road trip this coming weekend I'll feel better ~ need a little vacation. ;D Without futher ado ~ here are my march socks:

Pattern ~ Nancy Drew Socks by Stitch-n-Snitch
Yarn ~ Regia Galaxy Red (1559)
Needles ~ KnitPicks #2 circs.

Have a great week!
