Ryan's Christmas Stocking


What fun!!! Sure, Ryan will be two soon but better late than never. He will get this stocking for his birthday. I used Encore bulky yarn and several different patterns/ideas from the Christmas Stocking book - Holiday Treasures to Knit from Interweave Press. I think it turned out pretty darn cute!

MARCH SOCKS


Made this pair of socks with Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino in the Birches colorway - for my Mom. I used a modified version of Nancy Bush's Canada sock from Knitting on the Road and size 1 dpn's.

My First Socks


This was the first pair of socks I made- decided to take a picture and add them to my blog. I used Teal Cotton Fleece and the Iowa sock pattern - probably size ??? 3 needles. The first time I turned a heel it was ALL WRONG and I'll never forget the look on my friend's face! Patty was helping me to become a sock addict - and when she looked at the heel - it was like the expression that spoke a thousand words (and not all good, I might add) .... it was priceless!
