More socks

Kind of on a roll here with my socks knitting...



Pattern: Angee by Cookie A. Her patterns are so pretty and I admit, a bit intimidating at first. When I first started knitting socks, I was just looked at the patterns over and over but was too scared to try them. Finally, I'm more confident in tackling them and they're well written & wonder what was stopping me.

That's the great thing about knitting, there are so many levels of difficulty but it all depends on the knitter. What may be challenging to me, may be totally easy for someone else. So I'm definitely challenging myself with more Cookie A patterns this year. I also belong to her sock yarn club and I'm really behind in that so I'm trying to remedy that.



I only knit 1.5 repeats on the leg chart because I thought the leg would be too long on me with the 2.5 repeats the pattern suggested.



I probably would have been fine as the pattern was written but I'm still very happy with them. :)

We Have Socks!

I finally have a finished knitting project! This was started July 2012 for a SKA challenge which was colorwork. Joshua needed another pair of socks since he outgrew his last pair. I had this project in a Ziploc that was shoved in the cabinet. April's SKA challenge was colorwork so I thought this was the perfect time to finish the socks up so I brought them on our spring break trip to Mammoth Lakes.

I knit the pair a bit bigger so Josh will have some growing room.





The socks are called Sneaky Argyles from the book Socks from the Toe Up for Everyone.  The most boring part was the foot portion since it was just knit knit knit until I reached the colorwork portion.

Joshua should be able to enjoy these socks for a while and keep his cold feet warm.
