I found a cute, little, crochet pattern for Christmas Socks and couldn’t wait to get started making them.
I have whipped up five so far. I have been working on a couple of different crochet projects and put the socks on hold for now.
Most of us who crochet and or knit probably have a stash of left-over yarn. These cute socks are a quick way to start using up all the stash that has accumulated.
You can find the pattern over at Le Monde de Ducrette.
And, I don’t mean the movie.
Saturday night I was well on my way to finishing the second sock. I was past the turning of the heel and finished the gusset shaping when I realized that I forgot to do some rounds. I had to rip it out to the heel and start over again. Of course, I was panicking, as I am not too good on rework or picking up dropped stitches when it come to knitting. Crocheting is a piece of cake to rip out and rework, but knitting…
In my defense, it was late that night, Tom had the movie “Saw IV/4” on (which I thought was stupid and annoying) and I periodically would sneak peaks here and there of the movie. I wasn’t paying attention to the task at hand and flubbed-up the sock. I managed to get the sock back on course and carefully threw placed it in the basket. I didn’t pick it up again until this afternoon. This is as far as I got-
I hope to have it finished by this evening.
My latest project.
I got tired of crocheting and decided to knit some socks for me. I have the second one, one third finished. It took me one day to knit this one sock. It is taken me a day and a half so far for the second sock. Brian had to go to the doctor’s today for a checkup and I didn’t knit all day.
I have put the 12 point afghan on hold for a while. I haven’t frogged it as I said I was going to do. I did add a few more rows the other evening. I guess I am getting used to the funky colors.
I am still not feeling to well and that is the reason why I haven’t been here to post or make visits. C’est la vie!
