Happy Valentines Day

Posted this photo on FB yesterday...this sock has become one of my best sellers. Amazing as it is really not exactly a mind boggling pattern but is more simple and clean. I love the heart on the heel, which is a partridge heel. (The heart is knitted in satin stitch with the heel and toe in the partridge pattern. Really easy but will work on any sock pattern from rib to lacy patterns.

BTW got over 100 hits on FB with over 70 downloads on Ravelry for the heart pattern. Nice.

Heart Clog Socks

Working on a Heart Clog Sock for my Etsy Shop. Knit Picks Stroll is the yarn and the sock is a Vanilla Sock with the Heart Pattern on the heel (Partridge Heel). I love the color combination.

Winter Knitting

Snowy days so knitting a lot more than I usually do. Wish I could knit faster as some on the group in Addicted to Sock Knitting do....one lady knitted 27 socks since the beginning of the year. Not sure if it was hand knitted or machine knitted but that is a lot of socks. My knitting always seems to get complicated with my mind always wanting to elaborate on a given pattern or just want to do something original...that is bogs me down I think. Anyway a couple of items I knitted the last couple of weeks: Lacy Alpaca Socks (merging two fine lace weight baby alpaca threads together) and a wrist warmer...new to me but were suppose to be a pair of socks. After I knitted the pattern I thought i would just make them into the warmers to show off the pattern!

Simple pattern and really warm.
