Moc Croc Socks


Completed these socks on April 11th, 2009 - This is a free pattern from www.knitpicks.com
It knits up fairly fast. I used one 32 inch Knit Picks circular needle in size 2.25mm, and the yarn is also from Knit Picks - Imagination Collection - Color Name is "Munchkin".

I really like the yarn and will buy other colorways to try. It is hand wash, but oh so soft.

Garter Stitch Rib Socks in Trekking XXL


Just finished these socks, 346 yards of yarn used, 6 inch cuffs, done on 4 dpns size 2.25. Colour #172 - Trekking XXL yarn.

I really love Trekking XXL yarns. The colours just sort of flow nicely in my opinion and it is great to work with. Alas, this was my last ball of Trekking XXL from my stash. I know it won't be long before more wonderful colours find their way to my house.

Bluebell Rib Socks



Just finished my Bluebell Rib Pattern Socks, knit using Paton's Stretch Yarn, and 2.25MM Dpns.
I liked this stretch yarn for these socks. It is a cotton blend. The Bluebell Rib is such an easy pattern repeat, it makes these a quick knit.
