Socks!


I love the look of just plain socks. I dont like alot of patterns on the leg. However I am looking into doing just that. I thought I needed to challenge myself a bit more. I used the 2 circular needle method and knit top down. I only knit one sock at a time! I used a number 1 size needle.The yarn is called dreamcatcher by Opal. I will be casting on for more socks soon. I plan on making my daugthers a pair each for Xmas as a surprise.

Baby Surprise Jacket


I have finished my first Baby Surprise Jacket (BSJ) by the great Elizabeth Zimmerman. I so enjoyed this knit and plan to cast on for another BSJ soon. I used a yarn called "Mexican Wave" that is 100% acrylic and a size 6 needle. It knitted up so well! This one was knitted for charity but I am planning to knit more for family and friends!
