Pair of socks for me
Using Knit Picks Essential yarn in Lantana.

Socks for Tess
Using sock yarn sent to me by auntieknits quite a while ago (sorry it took so long!). I don't like the focus on this one. I'll have to take another when the light is good.

7 Days, Day 4 - 52 Weeks, Week 7
In my favorite jammie-pants, knitting one of these for a friend's daughter, watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I wanted a picture with Packet in my lap, but she up and left faster than I could even grab the remote for the camera.

7 Days - Day 2. Killing birds with stones
The theme for today is RELAX. It just so happens that I put my feet up to take this picture of the socks I just finished. This counts as my FO photo, too! Yay!

WIP - socks
I've been working on these for a while, but haven't gotten around to taking any pictures of them. Almost done!

365.071 - Dad's socks, take 3
Switched to the largest size (82 stitches) and a 3x3 rib. Despite each sock being 82 stitches, the socks are progressing more quickly than I expected.

365.063 - Before the frog
These are the socks I'm making for Dad, in their first incarnation. Today I decided, after getting to the heels, that they're too skinny and too short, so I ripped them out completely and started over anew. Part of me hates losing all that work; part of me doesn't mind a bit because I'm a process knitter.

365.060 - Fine, I'll model your socks.
Packet is so sweet, isn't she? So I finished Ma's socks, and I hope they're the right size this time. The slip-stitch heel is tricky to guesstimate - for me, at least.

Ma's socks
Started, frogged, and restarted. I'm pretty confident I got the size right this time. I'll finish in the next couple of days and should be able to mail these off very soon.

365.018 - A farewell to feet
I love this yarn (Koigu, a gift from the lovely Wen), and I love my new Knit Picks Harmony sock needles, but these socks don't want to be plain stockinette. The next time you see this sock yarn, it'll be sporting some nice lace, I think. Or maybe it'll be mittens. No, it's so soft and sproingy. Socks.

Mmm, socks. I love knitting socks.
I even kind of wish I were still a DPN girl, just because socks look better on DPNs. I don't think I'll go that far, though...at least, not with stockinette.

First heel is finished, second heel...tomorrow.

Rainy Day short row heels
Loosely based on the Magknits pattern. Mods: toe-up, 2 at once, short row heels, twisted rib cuff, sewn cast-off.

Rainy day socks, kinda
Very quick and easy, especially because I didn't follow the posted recipe. I made these two-at-once, toe-up, with magic loop on size 3mm needles. Oh, and short-row heels instead of flap and gusset. I didn't do the picot bind-off, either, just twisted rib.

Rainy Day socks, kind of
I'm really just using the stitch pattern. I'm knitting them toe-up and used short-row heels. This is my BMFA handspun.

Mister models the purple socks
You can move your feet now.
Seriously, you don't need ME to show off your socks. This is getting old, Mommy. I have butt-licking to do, and I don't need all of Ravelry to see that.

Stop putting your feet near my face
Just because I wake you up by sticking my feet on your face doesn't mean I like it.

Sock progress
My fingertips are all rather pink. See the color of the cable on my circs? That's an Addi Turbo. Not an Addi Lace. It's supposed to be gold.

Ravelympics WIP no. 1 down
All I had to do was weave in the ends and take FO pictures. Only one FO picture turned out well thanks to my thick ankles and Mister's tendency to sit between me and the camera during timer shots.
I used Wendy Johnson's toe-up gusset heels, which fit fabulously. The only problem is that I intended these socks to be for my mom (her feet are two sizes smaller than mine), but they fit me. On the one hand, I'm thrilled to have another pair of socks for myself, but on the other, Ma doesn't have as many pairs of handknit socks as I do. Plus, these are perfect in just about every way. The stripes MATCH. That was completely unintended, and I didn't notice until they were finished.
