Tidal Wave Socks Complete!!

My first pair of socks that are actually finished!! I am so pleased with them and the yarn that I used is so yummiliscious to knit with! I can't wait to start my 3rd pair! I know, you are all asking "3rd pair? What is she talking about? Doesn't she mean her 2nd pair?" Normally you would be right, but had I actually completed the 1st pair of socks I started, this would have been my 2nd pair. I had started a pair of socks back in October and completed one sock and was immediately informed to cast on the 2nd so that I would not get what is internationally known as "Second Sock Syndrome." That didn't work *giggle* I had to put the 2nd aside in order to get Christmas gifts completed and then somehow that project bag got lost in my house! I found it this past weekend and have been working on that 2nd sock, but had to stop when I got to the heel because I couldn't remember what heel I had done! I took it to my Wednesday night S'nB and the woman that taught me how to do the first heel was there and I asked her if she remembered. She did! So I am working on completely my 2nd pair now! You can see it on my blog.

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.
