The evolution of Socks

So here they are.......  Well, here is the beginning of one of them. But it seems to be going ok so far! 

I know the photos are rubbish, sorry. But I love the colours.

Socks

Having 'rabbited' my sock project twice already I've made my third and final attempt at a pair of socks using my Crazy Zauberball in Indian Rose.
I havent really found a pattern to follow that really seems to fit the wool so its trial and error but I've finally gone with casting on 60 stitches.

Has anyone got any idea what I should be doing?

Help!

New Kid on the Block.

Some of our neighbours moved out last week. We were pretty sad to see them go as they had become pretty good friends over the 4 years they'd been around.

But we met the new neighbour yesterday. She seems lovely AND she can knit. So I'm hoping I'll be able to get her to show me how to knit socks the right size.

Maybe we can hold some crafty coffee mornings with Ellie-Petillant.


Anyway..... back to the reports. :( zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What next?

I've just handed over the baby blanket, ready and in time for the arrival.

So now I need another project. I still have the socks, and they're coming on ok but i quite fancy knitting some flowers.

I've never knitted in the round before so I was quite pleased it worked. I'm not really sure what pattern i'm following or if they'll fit but it will be fun finding out. And I LOVE the wool.

But I quite fancy some of these:



It's a bit of a pie in the sky project but we'll see how it goes.  I've got some lovely Debbie Bliss wool to have a go with :

We'll see how it goes. There's a lovely rose pattern i'm going to try.

But really I should be writing reports :( 



I've done it again.

A new week, a new project.

And this week it's socks!!!

I'm really enjoying it.

I have no idea whether they are going to cut off my circulation or keep falling down but I guess i'll find out sooner or later.

The yarn is really fine so they're taking a while to get no where but I'm away this week so maybe i'll get a chance to finally finish the Baby Blanket (I only have 4 weeks left!) and get these bad boys well under way.
