For the Holidays...The advent Calendar of yarns from my daughter Leslie. It is hanging and today is day 11 ...Thought I would knit up a scrappy sock using the yarns that are in my calendar. So starting knitting yesterday using day 1,2,and 3. Just a basic rib tube and will do an afterthought heel. Hope I can get it done by Christmas! Happy Holidays.

Cable Rib Socks

Started a new sock using Lorna Laces Sock Yarn. 4 st cable with 3p between. Lots of stretch and different look for a rib sock. Heal and toe are partridge stitch. 

Baby Argyle Vest

And Amanda had a baby boy. Wanted to knit a nice little something for him. Came across a great pattern for Baby Argyle Vest and knitted it with a monogram. A really fun knit. The Pattern is Baby Argyle Sweater Vest by Sherrie Kibler available on Raverly. 

      

Scrappy Socks or Stash socks

Today will be finishing up another pair of Scrappy Socks or Stash Socks as I like to call them. The pair of warm colors was the one I knitted from the Opal Yarns that my daughter sent me as a gift. The current ones I am knitting are from a combination of yarns she sent me as well as the many little scraps of yarns that I have from too many socks to count. All are Merino and Nylon blend. I decided to knit cool colors

Cuffed Twisted Cable Mitts

Again I receive orders for this mitt. Mind you I love to knit this one up but have to knit 3 pairs for a lady requesting different colors. After you knit one pair it starts to get difficult to knit the next pairs but I am up to the challenge. They take about 4 days on and off knitting to finish. Probably could do these in 2 days of knitting but I do like knitting at my leisure....
I remind myself that this is a hobby and not a full blown business

I do love how the cable pattern makes the mitt snug up to your hand and the cuff is
great on chilly days to cover the fingers.

 

Fair Isle Short Anklet Sock

Thought I would start some Fair Isle work. Haven't done fair isle pattern work for a while but wanted a change from cables. Found this pattern in a book of Fair Isle patterns and incorporated it into this sock. Simple pattern with added "dots". Actually a pretty fast knit and think will do more.
