Haley's Birthday Socks

Finally - socks for Haley to match her Mom's pair in reverse colors. Had great fun making them - a little tough during the move but done in time for her birthday. Made with #2 dpn and Fleece Artist yarn.

Socks for Laurie

Hello Friends -

Well, between a new job, garage sale and packing this hasn't been easy but when I thought I wouldn't finish in time for the Sock a Month Knitalong I knew I had to crank it up. Finished with 1 1/2 hours to spare. Hahaha....

Used the Lace Anklet pattern from May-June 2007 Cast on and size 2 dpn.

Meagan's Birthday Socks

Finished these on time for my daughter's birthday - Yahoo!!! Made them with Anne yarn by Schaefer using size 1 dp needles and the April Fools Pattern by Wildhorse Farm Designs. They fit Meagan perfectly! I love it when a plan comes together.

July Socks

Hello - Knit these K2P2 socks for myself in Interlacements Toasty Toes yarn - Southwest colorway. The colors are so vibrant that I doubt a pattern would even show - plus I'm needing some "nobrainer" stuff these days! Love, Renee' :)

SAM5 June Socks / Ravelry 2008 Sock KAL

Socks for June are knit with Mountain Colors yarn in the Northern Lights colorway. Simple 2 x 2 rib pattern but the simplicity helped show off the beautiful yarn. Darn, knitting socks is therapeutic!

May Socks

Hello - Just finished these socks I made for a friend that had a baby girl (after three boys!) I figured she needed something girlie and what is better than flowers and lace. Since they are tiny I made two pairs. I used Knit Picks Merino yarn (which was very soft and nice to work with). The socks were made with size 3 dp needles. Welcome to the world little one..... Love, Renee'

April Socks

I finally finished a pair of socks I started quite awhile ago. Love both the pattern and the yarn but you know how it goes when another project calls your name. These socks are for Tracie for her birthday - and I plan to make Haley a pair with the reverse colors. Used size one needles, Fleece Artist Merino yarn (in teal and seashore) and the Chain Link Socks pattern designed by Deby Lake for the Six Sox KAL.

MARCH SOCKS

Hello All - These socks were made with Mountain Colors Bearfoot yarn in Steelhead. I used size 2 needs on the leg and size 1 on the foot. The pattern I used was Cobblestone from The Sock Journal. It was a lot of fun and is very comfortable. These are for me!

Ryan's Sweater

Finished just in time for Easter!!!! It was suppose to have a bunny on the front but then I dedided Ryan wouldn't be able to wear it much (and his Mom agreed!) so instead -viola - stripes. The blue will really look great with his eyes!

Busy, busy girl...

Also finished a sweater for my friend's new granddaughter - Simone Rose. Love the pattern! Worked on it when we went to Hawaii so it has been done for awhile...except for sewing it together. I can drag my rear on that forever.

Busy Girl

I just finished my February socks for SAM 5 and Ravelry 2008 Sock Knitalong. The socks are made using Dream In Color Smooshy sock yarn in Wisterious - absolutely gorgeous colors!!! I used the Garter Rib pattern in Charlene Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks book - It was a great pattern and her book is filled with all kinds of great information - including losing the gap at the top of the gusset! Yahoo. I made them for my Mom for her birthday!

JANUARY SOCKS...SMALL FEET!

The socks I knit as my January Socks are for my grandson, Ryan. I used Buttons Yarn and an Ann Norling pattern. I had high hopes of making a pair of socks for my mom as my January socks, using Dream in Color yarn and a pattern from the Sensational Socks book. But between my mom going in the hospital, being layed off from a civil engineering firm and having to find a new job it just didn't happen. (I am now working as a receptionist at a small animal hospital which I've done before and loved.)

2008 - whack, whack...ouch!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope 2008 will be a great year for all! Good Luck that your year will be filled with all the things you love to do! I am signed up on several sock KAL's so I've got my work (ahhhh, if only work could be this much fun!) cut out for me. Starting a new pair of socks tonight so pictures should be coming soon. Also have a baby sweater to finish for a friend. Take Care!
