Pomatomus Done

I have finally finished my Pomatomus socks. I love them. No, I LOVE them. Prettiest socks I've ever made. Almost the most perfectly knit socks I've ever made. I guess the 2 month wait was worth it.


Pattern: Pomatomus from Knitty.

Yarn: Pagewood Farms Yukon sock yarn in Prism colorway.

Needles: Size 2 Addi Turbo Lace Circular.

Comments: I LOVE this pattern!


Next yarn pulled from the stash is this:


Some Regia I won in a contest on Barbara Bretton's blog. She's a well known author who also knits. I'm going to knit some plain Jane socks with this cos I need a break from the more complicated stuff I've been making the last few months.

Before I start these, though, I'm going to make some baby socks in leftover purple sock yarn. I joined a little KAL on Ravelry being held by the We Love the Osmonds group. We're making purple baby socks for charity.

Happy knitting!

Two Pair for Feb

I have been working on two pair for February. I need to have a kitchener party to finish the afterthought heels but other than that two pair will be complete.



First pair of socks is made with Regia in the Jaywalker Pattern, second is a pair made with Knitpicks Essentials in ash and some misc multicolored sock stash.
Blogger is being really irritable today so I will need to edit this post....

January Socks-Garter Rib

Here is a quick one of my January socks... I came and saw all of the excellent progress that everyone is making and I had to post too!!

So far I am 90% on the first sock and 20% on the second. I divided up one 50gr ball so I have to make the most of both little balls and wait until I get to the ribbing on the second sock to make sure I have enough yarn for both.

Yarn : Schachenmayr nomotta Regia Color 4-ply / 4-fädig
How much? 1 skein = 230.0 yards (210.3m)

which socks count?

Hello all, I'm glad the sock-stash club is off to such a vibrant start! I've been having a lot of fun checking out new patterns and getting ideas from everyone else's posts so far... Here's what I've been up to:

So I live in Chicago, but I came to my parents' house in Oregon for Christmas, and I'm still here until Friday. I knew I would finish the knitting project I was working on when I got here some time over Christmas (a cashmere shedir hat for my bff) so I grabbed some sock yarn before I left home to start the KAL with after that. Well, I finished the hat well before 1/2 so I cast on for some socks, on 12/27 to be precise! They're sidewinders, which are socks knit sideways. This pattern is BRILLIANT. I was sure to measure my foot and be particularly careful about gauge, and so far it's paid off! I finished the first one on 12/31:



It's in Schachenmayr nomotta Regia Crazy Color 4-ply:



Trouble is, I only brought one of those two balls home with me because I thought that would be enough. (bad decision on my part!) Thankfully, I've bought about 10 tons of yarn since I've been here (my mother is also a knitter - I taught her! - and she looooves going to yarn stores with me) so I had something else I could work with. Tonight I'm casting on some entrelac socks, using Eunny Jang's pattern from the spring '07 Interweave Knits. (Here it is for those of you on ravelry.) I'm using that brand new Noro Kureyon Sock:



Time to go measure my feet some more and then cast on!!!



PS - wanna be friends on ravelry? I love knit-stalking people. I'm hungryknitter. My blog is also www.hungryknitter.com!

Can't wait....

I couldn't help it.... I cast on for my mom's socks. At xmas she was kinda bummed because she didn't get a new pair of socks... so I promised her my first pair for 2008 and ensured she would get a pair before the end of January because of joining the KAL.

I am doing a pair of ankle socks with a 50 gram ball of camo colored Regia in garter rib. So far I am about 3 in into the first sock and it is going well. Updates will follow.. along with more sock knitting excitement....GL to all knitters!!!
