January closing

Carol, Maria and Karen at Creative Pursuits

Perfect end to a great month was getting to meet Maria Hart at my LYS , ABC of Creative Pursuits. We talked socks, the group and yarn. Heaven.

The year continues full bore. I attended a sock knitting session at ABC Creative Knitting and found a lovely pattern for another shawl. It was quick and turned out nicely.

A friend asked me to knit a pair of socks for her niece and of course I went overboard and have knit two pair with a third pair in progress.

She wanted green with a hint of orange in them. You see what I have come up with!

Prayer Shawl Ministry is going full tilt also with hundreds of shawls, lap robes and blankets knit and crochet. My latest contribution was to put the finishing edge on a lap robe made by another member.

Starting 2008

The year has started well with lots of socks already done and more started. I used the remants of a skein of Lorna's Lace and a small amount of eyelash to make these slip up pattern socks. The heels and toes are done in Knit Picks Essential black left over from some of my Big Black Socks.

The Six Sox Knitalong posted a pattern for socklets "Hidden in my Shoe" for the first project of the year. I had one skein of Knit Picks Simple Stripes that was perfect of this toe up sock.
The next project was a pair of Opal Magic Socks for my dear husband, Bob in his favorite color, blue.





I used a small amount of Claudia Hand Painted Merino combined with Knit Picks Essentials to complete a pair of Chain Link socks to go to Socks For Soldiers in my next shipment.
The January shipment contained one pair BBS (big black socks) and three pair leisure socks . A good start for 2008!
