FINISHED!!

I finished the co-worker socks for my mom's co-worker on Saturday. I was so glad to get those finished! A women's size 10 sock is LONG! They were done in Knitpicks Memories Smores and I didn't get a picture. They were just plain K2, P2 ribbed socks though. This yarn turned out a surprisingly cute sock. There is a light grey/blue color that you don't notice until you knit them (or I didn't) and it was a really cute sock.

After finishing those socks, I cast on for these

This is the Stansfield 30 pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks. The picture didn't turn out too great, but the sock looks fabulous. The yarn is Trekking from my awesome Lime N Violet Secret Pal. She hasn't revealed herself yet, so I'm not exactly sure who she is, but this yarn is great. I'm using size 0 needles. !!! I've never even knit with 1s before, so the 0s are soooo tiny! But, I'm loving the fabric that it's producing. :)

Speaking of pals, I'm really loving getting to know my Hurricane Sock Party pal. She is a really cool person and I've enjoyed shopping for her! I haven't yet heard from my spoiler yet. I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

I hope you all have a great day!!

Socks socks, socks! The L&V swap was fun, wasn't it?

What a pretty pattern. I haven't gotten that book yet but will soon. Once you've used 0s and 1s I bet you stick with them, the fabric IS much nicer and they wear better. :)

Hey thanks for stopping by my blog...I'm digging yours as well!

My husband is actually the newly-minted toxiocologist. Maybe I'm a dork, but I'm super excited to find a tox knitter!!!
