One of the goals I have for this year is to make a dent in my yarn stash and one way is to knit a pair of socks each month.
This is most of my sock yarn but do have some solid colored sock yarn in another box.
I was working on this pair of socks that I started in December.
Had one sock done and close to half way done with the second.
But Monday while out running errands, which one was getting the oil changed in my car, I was knitting on the sock while waiting. But sometime during the rest of the day I lost the sock that I had finished. I do not have enough of the yarn to make another sock, so I just frogged it.
Since my goal is to make a pair and there is a KAL called #freesocks2020 on Instagram.
This was January's pattern on-the-fence
Free pattern
I am relearning how to knit socks and one thing I've learned is my tension. Started out loose but by the end of the first sock I've found my mojo. Ended up having a slight difference in size. It's okay, I can live with it.
I really do like the look of these socks and I would make these again.
For February's pattern woodland-walk
Finished these on the last day of the month and turned out okay
But for some reason, working a lace pattern, it took some to get the hang of it also. And again there is slight difference in size.
Love the color but not that happy with the yarn I used, not as soft as I thought it was. Here is the yarn I used.
Now for March

I'm using Red Heart Heart and Sole With Aloe that I had in my stash.
Bought it at Hobby Lobby, 4.99 a skein and using two cause they are 50 gms each.
This time I'm working on both at the same time. Reason is I want to make sure that they turn out identical.
I'm liking doing both at the same time. I know I'm not knitting any faster but it seems like it's going faster.
I'll take it thou as it is.Well that's about it for now but I have so many thoughts and ideas I want to share.
I'll be posting Sunday on the scrappy and slow Sunday projects besides a recipe I found and want to share.
Till Sunday
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy.
DeleteI love the socks that you made and are making. I am so sorry that you lost one. You have quite an array of sock yarn.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty socks. Sounds like a great plan to use up some of the yarn stash.
