October 2015 socks

Maybe I shouldn't have used a brown background.   :-\  

Pattern:  My own.  I didn't want cables or other fancy stitches to get lost in this colorway. So, it's all stst, except for one bit of rib down the leg & foot.

Yarn:  Knit Picks Stroll fingering in Coffee Shop Hand-Painted

Needles:  US 1, two circs

Knit for:  DD3

They've grown!

My grandsons are now 10 and 12 years old!

What can I say

...but... Yes, I've been knitting.  Just not blogging.  When I tried to count all the socks I've knit in the past two years, I couldn't remember them all.  And, now I remember why I started the blog in the first place.  It's a place to document my progress & projects.  Oh, sure, there's Ravelry (which I'm years behind in also) but my blog is more personal.

So... During Fall 2013, I knit socks from Knit Picks' Stroll Glimmer - one pair each for my 3 daughters, mother, and a niece.  And socks for two other nieces. Here's one of them:

And a pair for Buster from October 2013:

And one for Sport in November 2013:

During 2014, there were these (and maybe more that I didn't get photos of)

Three for me.  The pink pair took forever.  The striped used leftovers from all the Stroll Glimmer I used in 2013.  And the third used left over Retro from Busters socks (above) - did that one toe up as I wasn't sure how far the yarn would go:

Then so far in 2015, there have been these (at least): 

More Stroll Glimmer, this pair for me:

and I finally knit the Crazy Zauberball that I bought several years ago for me:

That leaves the last two I've knit this year (2015) so far:

For DD2:

And for DD1:

On the needles now are a pair for DD3.  Next up a pair for Buster.
