I got a new toy.

I got a new spinning wheel. No, I don't really need one, but I got it anyway. It is a real Rick Reeves spinning wheel which aren't made anymore. Maybe now Thing #4 will fix my Ashford Traveller before it falls apart.

Summer of Socks 2008 update: I'm way behind. Right now I only have 9 pairs done and 6 pairs on the needles. The person in the lead has done 20 pairs. Even if I only size 4 or bigger needles, I don't know if I will ever catch up.

Horcrux Socks (worsted weight version)

Blueberry Waffle.

If you look at my Ravelry profile, they are the shut him up socks. Thing #4 thinks that all socks should be his. There isn't any such thing as too girly. He says he is man enough to wear anything or he'll wear boots. Any and all comments will be passed on to him.
Broadripple.

The yarn for these is a 3 ply handspun from a Sheep 2 Shoe kit. If I see anymore, I do believe I will pick up a couple.

Springtime socks. Okay it is a basic sock pattern, but the colors are springy.

Circle Socks

Relay for Life socks for Jen.

These aren't part of the Summer of Socks, because they were started before June 21st.

Easy Aran socks - Another pair for Thing #4

This Week in Socks

Only two more pairs done, but there are about 7 pairs on the needles. What can I say. I get bored easily plus changing it up keeps my hand from completely failing.

The first sock is a basic toe up sock made from Patons Decor on size 3 needles. The helper #4 decided this pair needed a long term test of about 24 hours before I pried them off his feet. Yes, he is on probation. He only gets to try one sock on at a time.


The second pair is Brigid from Goddess Knits made with Sugar'n Cream Confectionary Colors in Caramel on size 4 needles.


Here is a preview of a couple of the other pairs I'm working on.
