Alpaca Cable Socks

And today sold the Alpaca Cable Socks easy.com to a woman in CA. I really love the feel of this yarn and the very fine weight. HandsomeFibers.com is the shop and Jo March Lace  is the yarn. Really a perfect fine yarn for intricate patterns. Working on an eyelet lace pattern that would be great with this yarn...we will see. A bit pricey yarn but worth it.

I Love Feedback

Always nice to get feedback and comments from customers. This one was especially rewarding as putting my designs on paper for knitters is always a much more difficult thing to do. Never know if the patterns are written well and that the final results are good.

"I just felt compelled to say Thank YOU for the Scrunch Cable sock - it  turned out so beautifully that I am on my second pair. I've made very few socks but when I saw a picture of the socks on my daughters pinterest page with her comment "mom, please, I love these" I just had to hunt down the pattern and make them for her. They will be a Christmas gift. I absolutely enjoyed working the pattern because it was SO easy to follow! I've never worked a chart and you made me feel so confident and the results showed that. I've never contacted a designer before but I just had to let you know how much I love these socks! Anyway, thank you again for the clear, concise, pattern and the fabulous results!" — te

Summer Trip with Scrunch Socks Packed to Knit

Harbour Town Lighthouse and Marina

 Last week we went for a week trip to Hilton Head Island, SC. It was a wonderful week of just relaxing and golfing and hanging out. Haven't been on a trip for a few years and this was a real treat to have a real vacation. Of course I had to bring a project with me and because the Scrunch Cable Socks have been really a special sock that I have been knitting I thought I would knit another pair in white. I am almost done with the pair and will post it on Etsy very soon. Still not sure if the price I put on it is the most reasonable but it will have to be. Have sold quite a few of these socks and the pattern that I wrote down for it has been selling also. Could be that maybe this is the best sock I have done yet.

Knitting on the Plane....always keep those fingers working.
