New yarn

Trying out Barnyard Knits. Colourway witches cauldron. I'm nearly finished with Peas and Carrots so I wanted to have this ready to go.

See what you can do

It's amazing what you can do when you have a clear table!  These are some blocks for the Saturday Sampler at my LQS.

I really like the Judie Rothermel fabrics this year.

Progress!

One of my goals for the weekend was to clear off my cutting table.  It was a total mess and was preventing me from doing anything!

My niece likes to do her homework in my sewing area and DH commented that it was so nice of me to clear off a space for her! LOL

Hot Mess

One of my goals for vacation was to finish these Hot Mess socks.  My son is very pleased and hoping for cooler weather-soon please God!

Peas and carrots

I just love knitting feather and fan socks.  Whenever I see green and orange together it makes me think Peas and Carrots!  This is some Hobbii yarn in a Halloween colorway from last year.  I use size 2 needles to knit the pattern and the switch to size 1 for the heel and foot.

Hot Mess

So I'm knitting away on some Hot Mess yarn for Red. 

CO 68

K1P1 for 13 rows

K2P2 for 71 rows

Heel over 34 sts

This is Hot Mess yarn, specially dyed by Beach Bum for Red.  She even made a custom label for his skein!

Big yellow

Tig prefers all things yellow.  I opted to use a patterned stitch on this yarn because it is so plain.  That made this knit take forever-and he had big feet!  I was touched that he immediately put them on.

I used Opal color #5182 and the pattern is Classy Slip-UP from Knit Socks! by Betsy Lee McCarthy. 

And yes, I immediately cast on for some NBK!
