Sockies

The red socks were a special order. I used the "Cauchy" pattern by Cookie A. from the Sock Innovation book. I've since knitted many patterns from this book and would highly recommend it to all sock lovers.


The blue socks were a gift for my friend Pam who was kind enough to send me a picture ;c) The pattern is called "Waving Lace Socks" (Evelyn A. Clark) from Favorite Socks Book by Interweave Press. The yarn was made from hand dyed rovings which were spun by yours truly ;c)

Another awesome book is The Joy of Sox by Linda Kopp (Oct 2009) which features 30+ must knit designs.

Curiously Clever Clogs

I knitted these during the holidays and used the lopi wool I had purchased during my last visit at Wellington Fibres (Elora, ON). The pattern I got from Stitch Diva Studios and is called "Curiously Clever Clogs".

The first photo is the before and after - how cool is that!



They are very comfortable and especially warm. I wear them all the time ;c)

Show and Tell



I knitted this beautiful Debbie Bliss sweater (shawl collared pattern) using SRK Perth (70% Merino, 30% Acrylic). I've knitted this pattern twice before. I love following Debbie's pattern instructions - always clear and easy.
