I am just a gal who loves to knit and spin in my spare time and thought it would be nice to share my projects with everyone.

First Time Blogger




This is a new experience for me. A first time blogger. I thought I would start with a pair of socks I just finished. They were made from Trekking XXL and I don't remember which colorway. My mom says they look like a coral snake. I love the pattern and they are very soft. These were top down, DPN size 2. I used a basic sock pattern.

The navy blue socks are done with Regia cotton and I used a free pattern off the net. they are called
sour apple socks and you can find the pattern at http://cherryyarn.com/PDFs/sourapplesocks.html
I have never done beaded knitting before and I think I found another addiction. They are super fun to do!

The other SIP is from Sockotta. Another basic top down on DPN, size 2. I like the mindless knitting when taking road trips in the car. I don't have to count or think too much and it keeps my hands busy.

Boy oh boy, I made it through my first post. The format is a little funny but I guess it is a learning experience. I will do better next time.
