Another Gingham Pattern Sock

Decided to  knit up another Gingham Pattern Sock. This time using Stroll Merino Fingering weight. Started casting on with 84 stitches Actually used circular needle. Pattern is in repeats of 6 stitches by 8 Rows. Pattern is easy to remember so knitting is fairly fast and I am getting better at knitting with 2 colors. Pattern from Helle Hansen on Addicted to Sock Knitting.

Blue Scrappy Socks

So looking in my scraps again and got to say it is amazing how much I have in bits and pieces....some bits of stash that I used and then forgot about. Came up with an array of blue. Didn't think I knitted so many blue socks but I have and I have to say that using the scraps for socks is great with so many patterns that you can create. I do scrappy socks not as just stripes but with 2 color fair isle type stripes. So the result is these that I really got into. So much fun to knit I can't tell you and put them in my Etsy shop to sell...we will see.

Cotton Gingham Anklet Socks

Started knitting a pair of cotton socks using a gingham like pattern…I saw in a photo. Love cotton socks…with the added thread of nylon on the cuff for more stretch these will be a favorite. Fun to knit and if they come out right should be nice for the summer months ahead. Stay tuned.

Scrappy Fair Isle Ribbon Socks

Got to a point that I was frustrated at the bins of bits and pieces of leftover yarns from my sock knitting. So this past weekend had to start cleaning out and get rid of lengths that really were too short to do much knitting....although amazing what you can do with just 2 yards of a strand of yarn. Fair Isle is the answer and hopefully these will be something that I can do for the next months and put good use to the yarns that I would have tossed. Just never know where your next sock will come from!!!!

UPDATE! And then finished the socks that I think came our great…only to deal with those bits of tail. I show a picture of the sock inside out as actually thought after I wove all those tails it looked pretty interesting on the wrong side! So the only thing I think I was challenged by was those darn tails! anyone have a solution to weaving the tails.
