Finished June socks

Here are my finished socks for June, Roundabouts for mother. I bought her this yarn for her birthday and she told me I had to make her socks :) So, here they are, all ready for her when she returns from Germany on Monday.
July socks have been cast on....Spring Forward from the new Knitty. LOVE THEM!

Simply Cables in June

Well, I can hardly believe it, but I am ahead of schedule for a change. We shall see whether Blogger is more cooperative today. The pattern is called Simply Cables, by Anni Design from Sockamania. The cables were tough going at first, but by the time I started the second sock, I felt much more competent with them. I love the classic elegance of this design and will definitely be doing it again. The socks were knit with Scheepjes Invicta Extra on size 0 circulars. I used a 5" bamboo double pointed needle to work the cables. The yarn really is not as vibrant an orange as the photo would suggest; it is more of a pumpkin color. Anyhow, thanks to Anni for such a lovely design. See you next month!

~ June Socks ~

Hello everyone ~ such lovely socks you'll been making. ;) These aren't from stash but they were made for a friend who purchased the yarn. I'm ashame to say it but these socks were began in March and I just finished them. Well, the short story ~ I began a new job right after casting on and life has been a rollercoaster ride every since. I'm just glad they are done and can't wait to see them in her clear chucks ~ aren't they purty?!

Needles ~ Knit Picks #3 circs

Plain Old Socks for June

For just plain old stockinette socks, these sure did take me awhile to finish. They were supposed to be my MAY socks!

Now, I admit there were two weeks when I was sick and didn't pick up the needles much, but the socks contributed to the issue too. I had the hardest time getting the gusset on sock #2 to look nice.

But, now they are done and waiting for cooler weather (uh, maybe in December?????) to come along so they can be on the feet.

Happy knitting.
