What a Pair

Here they are! They are finally a pair.




I have decided that I love the pooling too. They look good and the fact that they are similar enough to be a pair but not totally perfect appeals to me. Let me know what you think :)

Sock Swap

I just recieved my socks from my sock swap buddy today. Didn't she do a great job?! They are warm and cozy and I love the colorway. My swap partner says this yarn is a Socks That Rock yarn and the color is called Fairgrounds.


I like that I can wear them folded in half, scrunched down, or up my leg for really cold days :) They were made toe up and she used the Icelandic bindoff method.

My son loves them too and decided to include himself in this pic by hugging mommys feet :) It's because they are so cozy and soft of course!

Thanks Linda, for the great socks! They fit my personality...and my feet...very well :) I'm sure Linda thinks that I am a slacker but her socks are coming along nicely...an acrylic and wool blend that feel lovely to knit with. I cant wait to see if she like them as well as I like hers!

Cotton Candy Socks

Well, yesterday I decided that I needed to start the socks that I wanted to make from the yarn that I got from ebay so I did. Not sure if I like the pooling or not but they really seem to look good on so.....hrm.

I think it's just that the pics don't do them justice :) You all can decide!!


The skein, right out of the package from shipping!!

Seemed like it was SOOOO repetitive that I wanted to kill myself BUT....I finished this first sock in JUST over 24 hours....yup, lots and LOTS of time on my hands....

Here is my first, pretty sock on my foot :) I'm calling it my cotton candy socks because I cant read the label. If anyone even knows what language it's written in so I might be about to see what it says let me know, LOL!!

Well I finally did it!

Ok so here they are...I finally finished a pair of socks that fit ME! WOOHOO! They got me so inspired, infact, that I went straight to knitpicks and ordered 4 balls of simple stripes so I can make some socks that aren't made of crappy acrylic yarn, but of awesome wool....and not just any wool but super wash which means I dont even have to be careful with them, they aren't going to felt because I'm an idiot or because gma doesn't ask before throwing things into the dryer!

These were a pattern that I found online and loved so I hope you all enjoy them too! Hopefully I will be able to make them out of something nice soon!

My New Undies!

So...I finally finished my cute thong that I decided to knit. I think it came out rather well so here it is:

CRAPPY, OVERLY BRIGHT PIC
So I guess it's time to finish another project when all I want to do is start another to keep mt short attention span from going haywire.

New Scarf and Sock Update

So here it is....the sock that I posted earlier that was merely a cuff. Now it is about 4 inches away from being an entire sock, HAHA! Anyway, there's the update.....

Here is my current project. I bought this bernat baby lash because it was SO soft and fuzzy and I just couldn't make myself put it down....it took me forever to decide what it was hoing to be but I finally decided and made it a scarf. If you purchase this yarn I highly recommend that you rewind it into a ball of sorts before using it...as with Bernat tradition, there are knots that form in the middle if you dont because bernat winds both ends into the middle and they wrap eachother as you work...just a warning! Isn't it pretty?!

My Yarn Stash, Second Item Syndrome, and Dishcloths :)

So, if you are anything like me then you have a TON of things on your needles at any given moment...non-knitters do NOT understand this but it is by far a huge part of a knitters life to have partially finished items laying EVERYWHERE! Here are a FEW of mine...yeah, I have about 9 on the needles, LMAO!

Boo-tiful Scarf for my mommy...Hope she likes it :) I think it's pretty and
it's partially fishtail lace :)

A sock for me!

Sweater. What kind of mom would I be if I didnt force a sweater on the boy?!

Now we are on to the more productive days where I actually FINISH things! Yeah, this is a small step of the knitting kind but they are done so dont mess with me!

Was SUPPOSED to have a rooster knitted into it for moms rooster kitchen...note to self, no patterned clothes from verigated yarn, HAHA!

Yeah, corrected rooster cloth on REGULAR cotton....it looks a LOT more clear in person though. Hard to catch it on camera....

THUMBS UP dude! This is actually a partial lie....this is the only mitten I have done....other one is in a ball in my bag with half the ribbing cast on, LMAO! But one is done so....it's in the done section darn it!

Now this is where it gets insane....this is my knitting stash coming up....books, yarn in boxes, EVERYTHING....it's the knitting corner, lmao. I know it's bad cause I dont want to use it just because that depleats the stash and because all I want is more yarn....yeah, that's right, I have 2 hanks of 100% pure tussah silk on their way here in mint and winter white and Im already drooling...so HA!

So that's it....I'm a bit OCD maybe but it's my stash and that's why I love it :) Now I'm off to give it a nice hug....and maybe figure out what Im going to do with that skein of Bernat Baby Lash....it looks and feels heavenly :)

Till Next time!

First Pair of FINISHED Socks!

So I FINALLY finished a pair of socks. Not like it's a long going, stitch ripping, hair tugging feat...I mean, it's cotton baby socks that took all of two days....but still, it's socks and the heel is normal and they will fit SOMEONE without looking silly! WOOHOO!
Aren't they CUTE?! Guess all I need now is to meet someone that is having a baby huh? LOL! Then I can pass these off to them. If I know you in person hear this...get pregnant NOW so I can gift you these cute socks, HA!

Here they are!

OMG, I knitted my first sock...and not just ANY sock...this sock, well, it looks like a SOCK!! *Does happy dance* Ahem...anyway, lol. It looks pretty good and I am so proud. I just wanted to share with the world, HAHA!

Ok, so I know that the heel is a big...large. Thus that wonky weird looking foot thing I posted in my last message...but I chalk it up to being my first sock. A total learning experience. So instead of making an equally large but matching counterpart for this beastly thing I am going to put this up and save it as my first of (hopefully) many and make another pair that has a normal heel. WooHoo!

What a day!

Ok, so here is my first blog. I know that it's pretty sad but all I do is knit so...this blog is about ..........knitting! TA DA!
Today I decided to get a jump on some socks that I (finally) learned to do....well, sorta. I am decreasing for the toes right now which seems great...except that I made the heel a weeeeeeeee bit large....and it makes my son look like his foot has a rather large and odd shaped appendage. *sigh* Hopefully people aren't going to try stopping me in the street to ask what is wrong with my sons foot or with my knitting skills....or my sanity and ability to parent for choosing to let my son run around in such horrible made socks, LOL. I guess we will see. Im off to finish that toe. Wish me luck....and my poor son too, lol.
