Knitting

I created this page to document my knitting life and share it with others who have a passion for Knitting.

One thing I noticed as I looked at the photos of projects completed so far in 2018- I like to knit socks.

When my daughter Laura told me she liked the socks I’ve knit for her, I felt motivated to knit more.

This purple variegated yarn is from Homer, Alaska. The solid purple heel yarn is from Miss Babs.

Buying yarn from places I visit is a great way to remember your travels. A skein of local sock yarn doesn’t take up much room, either.Here are the Good and Plenty socks. Yarn by Abi Grasso (now I’m thinking I finished these in December- ooops.)

But they are so cheerful.

Laura was wearing the Good and Plenty socks and she didn’t know I was coming to see her that day! So satisfying to know the recipient likes what you made for them.

Here’s the label for the cotton yarn with a bit of nylon in it .

These cotton socks above are yarn I bought in Berlin. I knit them for my good friend V. She’s allergic to wool

These socks are knit with an Afterthought heel -Smooth Operator Socks by Susan B Anderson.the yarn is from Must Stash. The colorway named OCD

My friend A and I knit these striped socks at the same time too. Same yarn. Magic Loop method . She finished first. I started other projects.
