FO: Socks Wip: Socks

I found the cord to my camera the other day (finally, it was in the bottom of a box underneath stuff I didn’t have to unpack if it wasn’t for my frantic camera searching) this means I’m including some pictures in todays post :)

The summer of socks is a good thing this year, what with all the moving combined with the weird weather. It’s either hot and humid or cold and humid. Great…

Cabled Widdershins
I made two, both finished.
Interlacements Tiny Toes yarn.
Cabled Widdershins from knitty
2.5mm needles, the dye in the yarn rubbed a little of on the needles, they now look like they’re rubbed with newspaper pages…

Fun to make these, as I learned to cable without a cable needle. And it was my second cable project ever. They make me want to do more cables, possibly a sweater ;)

Pomatomus
Pomatomus by Cookie A. in Knitty
Crazy by Idéna yarn
2.5mm needles

I made these for my BF/sweetie/soon to by husband. He loves them, and actually wears them. The first pair of socks I’ve made him, and he seems so happy with them that I’ll probably make him more socks, even though he has giant feet…

Striped
I love these socks.
Made from Yarn Harlots Basic Sock recipe.
Opal Feelings yarn Farbe 1705.
2.5mm needles.
56 stitches around, and they fit me like a dream. I think this is the first pair of socks I made completly without a pattern, but doing everything as it seemed fitting (in the spirit of the yarnharlot).
The matching stripes of the yarn isn’t intended ;)

img_4214.JPGI got a package from Katie, my partner in the “Yarn in a tea cup swap“. Unfortunatly this is the best photo I have of the entire pack as the candy is eaten up, the buttons she made from old cartoons is in use and I’m drinking from the cup right now…

and lastly, my WIP, a sock ;)

Bellatrix
I started this last night. Weird drop-stitch pattern, fun FUN fun.

pattern: Bellatrix from Socktopia
yarn: J.knits superwash me- sock. Rhode Island.
needles: not 2.5mm needles, but 2.25mm and 2.0mm :)

Look how the yarn plays out in the pattern! Yesh! It works like I hoped.

    I got my parcel from you today, and I wanted to stop by and say a big THANK YOU! It had been stuck at the post office because my apartment # was missing, but my crafty regular postman saw it this morning and knew it was for me :) I love the yarn, and can’t wait to have a drink out of that cool mug. Thanks again!!
