Moonchild - Nov KAL


I've been working on these since August. Damn, I'm slow - but they were worth the wait. I signed up to do a Carefree Mystery Sock KAL - my first mystery sock - it was so much fun! I did peek at the spoilers - loved looking at all the great yarns and options. I used Smooshy sock yarn by Dream in Color in the Beach Fog colorway. The pattern, Moonchild, was designed by Adrienne Fong. I did the leg in size two dpn but when I got to the foot I switched to a size one and it worked out great. A super toe.... must remember this one. Very gradual and fits great.

I'M A VERY LUCKY GIRL!!!


Gosh, I have been so lucky lately I wanted to post my wonderful prizes!!!

First - I won a skein of Fleece Artist in the Rainforest colorway - which is absolutely beautiful - through the Sock a Month KAL!!! Then I entered a drawing for the Joy of Sox book from Adrienne Fong and the Carefree KAL and my name was selected. Adrienne is the designer for the sock I am currently knitting and she has a pattern in the new book. The book is amazing....
