My husband came to me yesterday and pointed out that the very first pair of socks that I made for him are wearing out on the sole. It doesn’t really come as a surprise to me, because he wears them all the time. Our office/ playroom/ family room area is on a...

Well, the hat and the scarf are now completed in my rainbow-colored winter accessories set… time to move on to the finger-less mitts! I am once again returning to a favorite pattern for this part of the set. I am doing the Hedgerow Mitts, but with two slight...

After spending so much time knitting black yarn, I was desperately in need of some color. I received some rainbow-hued Chroma yarn as part of my Christmas gift from my husband and I couldn’t resist diving into it. I combined it with a favorite pattern called the...

These gloves are a long time in the making. They are part of a project for my sister-in-law that turned out to be far more difficult than I originally expected. I had planned to have the entire set of hat, scarf, and gloves done before cold weather hit…....

Renae’s Hat ~ Part Three I have posted twice before on my progress with Renae’s Hat. The current version I am working on is the fourth. I ended up needing to pull it apart and start completely over when I realized it was growing to overly large...

I was making quick progress on Renae’s hat… then I hit the part where I switched to a decorative brim. I will be doing an embossed scarf as part of the set and I wanted to mimic the embossed stitch on the brim of the hat and eventually on the cuff of the...

I’m on a quest to finish all of my unfinished projects that have been sleeping for some time. I have too many! These socks have been in progress since sometime in 2010. I bought the pattern and started them as a gift for someone and had finished the first sock...

Renae, my awesome sister-in-law, asked me to make her a complete winterwear set… hat, scarf, and gloves. The project started because of a pair of beloved but worn out gloves. The gloves are lined and have a knit exterior. I’m re-making the exterior of the...

I have had this yarn in my stash for a few years now. I’ve made begun several socks and a pair of gloves with it, but the striping of the yarn never looked right. So, a cashmere scarf it will be! I’m using my Embossed Scarf pattern for this one. So far, I...

I’ve been intending to get around to using this particular yarn for some time. I’ve used several of the Felici colorways before, but none so subtle. I decided to do more of an ankle height than a full sock because I’m hoping to have enough left to...

This is probably the fastest I have ever knit socks. I’ve been in a groove! I now have Katrina’s socks completely done and one of Breanna’s completed. Katrina’s Breanna’s I have had many questions concerning buying socks like these....

After seeing a few sock pictures that I posted to Facebook, one of my husband’s relatives asked me to create two pairs… one for each of her daughters. Katrina leans toward purples as a preferred color and her sister Breanna is more into pinks. I had a few...

Since creating the Willow Socklets pattern, I have been wanting knit up a version with a higher cuff. The original Willow was created because I wanted summery socks and I only had one skein of the KnitPicks Glimmer in white. This time I have two skeins… so I am...

Over the years, I have seen many creative ways to use up leftover yarns. Since beginning my obsession with knitting socks, I have amassed a respectable stash of yarn leftovers. I wanted to do something with the bits and pieces… something that let me show off...

Occasionally I come across a yarn that looks amazing on the ball, but it falls flat when it’s knit up. This is the problem I’m running into with KnitPicks Stroll Multi in Blaze. The colors are an inspiring mix of reds, oranges, and yellows. In my past...

The first of the pair is completed. I’ve been working on it between other projects, so it took far longer than it should have. The Think Bamboo yarn has been a dream to work with. It is tightly wound, but still very soft and silky. I have gotten numerous...

I debated pretty strongly with myself on my current knitting project. Those following me for some time know that my relationship with my younger sister is nonexistent. Things got really awful between us since her current husband came onto the scene and, frankly, I...

Santa is being very generous to me this year and feeding the yarn glutton in me. I got a box full of knitter’s candy… enough yarn to make at least 15 pairs of socks plus a spare set of my favorite 2.00 mm double-point needles. Jolly ol’ Nick even...

The day I finished my pink Hedgerow Mitts, I cast on a new sock project with a yarn that was new to me called Think Bamboo. I found the yarn on Amazon in 2-packs for just $11.88. I chose a colorway called Cotton Candy. It is a bamboo, wool, and linen blend. Every...
