. . . a knitter & spinner's journey

And yet more socks . . .

Maybe it’s time I found something new to knit. I’m sure you’re all getting tired of coming here and seeing nothing but socks, socks and more socks. But I truly am stuck in a vicious cycle of sock knitting. Ever since I learned how to do socks on 2 circs I can’t stop. It’s so fast!

So here are my finished socks from class. I’ve been calling them camo socks ’cause they look like camouflage. They were knit in Koigu KPPPM on 24″ size 2 Addi Turbos. Our class was so sad that we weren’t going to meet anymore that we all decided to meet again this Wednesday night at the store and knit.

I also finished the mate to my first Stripey. I didn’t bother trying to match the stripes on this pair. I just let the yarn do it’s thing. They were knit with Plymouth Sockatta on 24″ size 2 Addi Turbos.

I am now working on the one’s I started with the yarn sent to me by my last SP. Those are being done on size 1’s so I’m sure they’ll take a little longer.

I cast on another pair on the size 2’s but I’m not sure if I like how the fabric is coming out. I’m thinking it’s a little too loose for socks but I want to knit some more on them before passing judgment.

Knittyboard SP6 has started. I’ve claimed my awesome downstream pal and my fantastic upstream pal has claimed me. I’m really excited that I get to participate again in this round. I just love sending stuff to brighten someone else’s day and it’s also fun to get little packages in the mail. (Especially since the only mail I get is junk mail.)

Well that’s it. I’m still doing moves/removes at work so I’m exhausted and sore. At least after this week I’m done for awhile.

Dawn, I found your site by random browsing. Any chance you actually live in Kalamazoo, or nearby? I just moved back here after 10 years away & am looking for more knitting friends.
