Socks


 Finished my 2nd pair of socks. This time I used size 0 circular needles I stead of size 1. My stitches are tighter and the socks fit better. I used Patrons Kroy Socks in the color gray brown marl.

2nd Pair of Socks


 I finally started my 2nd pair of socks. For the first pair I used size 1 needles. They came out a little loose. (I am a loose knitter.) This time I'm using size 0 that I got for Christmas. I know I didn't start at the same point of the 2 skeins of yarn, but that's all right, they will be fraternal twins not identical twins.

My First Socks


 My first pair of hand knitted socks -- well, except for baby socks. This is the first pair to fit me. I used the pattern called Flawless Socks, but instead of the heel on the pattern I used Fish Lips Kiss Heel. both patterns can be found on Ravelry. The yarn is Cat Tails Yarn, from Covington, LA. I used a 40" circular size 1 Addi. I tend to knit really loose so for the next pair I got a size 0. I thought I would try the Chiaogoo. I did magic loop, two at a time.

Adalia Shawl

 


This is the Adalia Shawl. It is crocheted with Lion Brand Shawl in a Cake Metallic yarn. It took 2 cakes. I only went to row 54 on the pattern because the pattern called for fingering weight yarn and what I used was worsted weight. It's a very pretty pattern with a pretty shell edging.

Bumblebee Hat

 

I got the pattern for this bumblebees hat from Repeatcrafter me.com. I used soft worsted weight yarn. I don't remember which yarn I used but possibly I Love This Yarn.

Sleepy Dragon

 Another toy! This one is the Sleepy Dragon found on Amigurumi To Go. I used Red Heart Super Saver. I ran out of the two main colors so I did part in light pink.
