Mosaic Knitting...

Yesterday decided to knit up a pair of mitts using some extra Rowan Finest yarn I had...love this yarn for warmth and softness. Wanted to try doing up a pair of mosaic brick patter...very simple for a first effort....loved the results...no strands of yarn getting tangled up and not more floats to contend with. I hate putting on a pair of mitts or socks with floats that could get pulled easily. These worked out so well....I will do up another project with another simple pattern and see how that goes. 

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.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2016!

Can't believe that I haven't posted on my blog for so long...it has been a couple of months and have been knitting away. Did another pair of gray heart socks (seems to be a really good seller) and working on a random spotted color sock...a look of tweed. Then did another scrunch sock as well as a short scrunch sock for a woman who has purchased a total of 12 socks from me over the years. Thought it would be a nice Thank you to her for her continued loyalty to my shop.

This year hasn't bee any better than last year as far as my sock sales went but was very much filled with lots of conversations with my knitting community. I do love how my little hobby has given me more avenues to hone the craft and discover more ways to knit socks.

So wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New 2016!

I am sure it will be great year of knitting.

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.

It will be interesting if I get any responses from it. Sales have been down except for patterns...dud, do you think I should be writing more patterns? Haven't sold a knitted sock for a long while now and hopeful that the holidays might bring in customers....but who knows.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Ethan's Seahawk Socks

Hurrah....Ethan's Seahawks socks in time form his birthday. I hope he likes them and that they fit. Really was quite the project trying to create the Seahawks logo....I hope I don't get in trouble by using it. Love the colors of the Knit Pitcks Brights (Apple Green). Very bright and clearly the Hawks color.

Seahawks socks for Ethan.

New Socks

Today posted two socks that I had been working on for Etsy. Sales are a little slow but the holidays are coming and going to have a sale in my shop toward November. These are two socks with patterns: Basketweave and Lacy Rib. I incorporated the patterns into the socks and they came out really nicely. Hope that they sell.
