Scrunch Socks Still Alive and Knitting

So sold these today but can't seem to get out of my doldrum of knitting Scrunch Socks....I want to design a new pair and write a pattern, but stuck with a back log of Scrunch Socks to do...can't complain but frustrating and wish I could just sit and design.

Maybe after this backlog......dream on.

Scrunch Sock Knitting

Yesterday received 3 custom requests for my Scrunch Socks...Yikes! I have some knitting to do. Three different colors: white, ivory and sea foam blue. I think I can knit the design in my sleep. I am trying to knit them together...what fun.

Fair Isle Border Socks Completed!

And finally finished them...They turned out really wonderful and hopefully they will sell in my shop. Good thing I got these done as got 3 orders for the Scrunch Socks....it must be coming into Christmas  as I seem to get orders for the Scrunch Socks around this time. You would think I would know better and just stock load the Scrunch socks but alas the orders are for custom socks so the fit has to be correct. I am on it now!

The Board Sock...Navy, gray and white. Love the pattern.

Harvest Time

It is that time of the year when I start to clean out my gardens and harvest the last of the tomatoes. Still have some pepper plants standing and will watch them before any frost gets to them...but for now my tomatoes are all picked and ripening off the vine! Yum.

Fair Isle Border Socks

This weekend started a pair of "Border Socks" a simple Fair Isle stranded pattern from Interweave Knits, 2011 edition. Had wanted to try this out and had a wonderful Navy yarn from Knit Picks. Pattern is using white and grey. Fairly simple and a really nice look. May do this in different combinations as it looks like something that would be popular on Etsy.

Knitting 2 sides at a time.

Addicted to Sock Knitting KAL

I am ready for the challenge: KAL with Addicted to Sock Knitting starts Sept. 1, and have my yarns picked from stash for the challenge. Will be knitting a pair of mens Stripe Socks using the Staggared Cable pattern. Base will be the gray with alternated stripes of the tan and brown. Should be really nice....Hope that I get these done as I have a custom order to do in Alpaca...waiting for the yarn  to arrive...

Scrunch Socks and Addicted to Sock Knitting

So today finished another pair of Scrunch Socks which I just posted on Etsy. I must say that I love this sock. I posted fit on a new site I joined: Addicted to Sock Knitting which I find brings more information on socks and different patterns that knitters are creating and knitting. It is a great site for ideas and information!

Close up on the counter...I snipped the loop that usually is on the needle and just hang it on the yarn. Stays out of the way when I am knitting.
