FO's
Yes I have two. Both socks. The first is socks by Amy Meeks. The pattern is Dobby's Hidden Sock and is a bit different as it has no pictures. The idea is you don't know what it looks like before you knit it. Now I didn't do it exactly as written, I lost count of the rows and I put in a different heel, and I found the pattern quite tight so I didn't do as long a leg as I would normally do. But I do like them! I have only added a part picture just in case others would like to knit them in the same vein - I have linked my project page so you can see the stitches if you would like.
My Breathing Space is coming along, I am nearly up to the striping. I have not included a pic this week as it looks very much the same as before. Hopefully by next week I will be on the striping and it will start to look interesting!
My other WIP, I cannot show you either as it is a test knit for Knitterarium. These are another pair of socks and they are lovely, knitting up really fast. I will show you as soon as I can.

No yarn this week but very excitingly my copy of Pom Pom came. I had seen lots of reviews that sounded very good and it didn't disappoint. There are four or five patterns this issue that I would like to knit - so I am thinking next years list......
Anyway that is it for this week, have a lovely week.
Loving your socks. Your boot socks really grabbed me. I am looking forward to seeing your test knit completed. I am almost on the foot of the first sock LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like knitting mystery socks. And those are intriguing me to go check out your page. Oh my, and yes, I guess I have to start thinking about next year too.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely looking socks! :)
ReplyDeleteYour socks are lovely. Every time I see a new pair of knitted sock I wonder how scrumptious they must feel to wear. And how fun they must be to look at on your own feet. :)
ReplyDeleteYour socks are so pretty in that yarn and what fun...a mystery knit! I think I put week 48 on my post....I better go count or just stop putting the week number on my title....one less worry! This year I have got to have a project page in my bullet journal so I can keep on task. I put things up or 'away' so Miss Peeps won't get into my yarns and then I forget what I want to work on plus I think I will use generic projects with goals but not necessarily a pattern named. I did terrible this year but it was a messy year with this darn roof problem moving things in and out and in and out again. Oh well, enough excuses...this next YOP year will be better!
ReplyDeleteI love the Totally Mint pattern and the yarn you chose really shows off the pattern. Have a great week!
