Tidal Wave Socks

This pretty pattern called Tidal Wave was designed by my girlfriend Deby Lake for SWTC. You can get this as a free pattern on the SWTC web site. Deby has several very nice patterns out and I love knitting them. This is done with Tofutsies color #731. The pattern has made the color design stripe kind of like a candy cane. I used size 2 dpn's and took the design down the foot. I am ready to decrease for the toe on sockie #1. It is such a light summery sock. I am really liking the knitting as well as stopping just to feel the fabric. Great job Deby!!!!

Garter Rib Socks

I have been working on these socks for the past 3 weeks. With spring here and plenty of yard work, knitting and spinning time are at a minimum. But, I work it in every minute I can. Even if it is my half hour lunch at work. The yarn I used is Sockotta. These socks are called "Garter Rib" from "Sensational Knitted Socks" book. It was my very favorite sock book untl I got "More Sensational Knittted Socks" by Charlene Schurch. Now I think it is a tie. They are both my favorites!!!

As you can see, I only need to finish off the toe decreases on the second sock and I will finally have them finishsed.

Pencil Roving

This pencil roving is so pretty. It is pastel in color with bits of lavender, pink, yellow and off white and is a very very soft kid/Merino blend. I purchased it at Leah's shop If you are ever near Millington, Michigan you should stop in and see her shop. I am spinning this fiber to approx. a fingering weight. It should make a beautiful scarf.
