First colorwork!

I actually managed to finish this colorwork project (we shall not speak of those that have been abandoned) and I love these socks. Even if they are a bit too snug in the calf.


Pattern: Red Herring
Yarn: KnitPicks Gloss Sock
Thoughts: I think practice makes perfect with colorwork. I clearly need more practice, but I'm happy with these all the same.

Pretty Socks

Lovely, simple socks.


Pattern: Monkey (modified to have no purls)
Yarn: Fleece Artist Merino

This year I'm not going to have a lot of resolutions. I will just have a general intention to a) knit more garments and b) knit for ME!

How'm I doing so far? Well, I'm doing well on some socks for me:

I finished a hat for myself:



Pattern: Gretel
Designer: Ysolde Teague

And I just cast-on a baby blanket for a friend's baby.



Pattern: Op-Art
Designer: Melissa Dominguez

Ok, so I'm not doing too well so far. But the baby blanket is awesome. So I'm not complaining.
