Friday Finishes

 


I have some finishes finally…..

It’s taken me a while and these are some of the socks that I shared back in May. 

There were 9 pairs in various stages of completion, so I have been determined to get them done. 

I was also working on other projects too and did finish a couple but right now I’ll just share the socks. 

Finished 6 of the 9. 

I am going to make this a short post for now but I need to continue looking for yarn labels and patterns. Will share them when I do. 

Here there are,


Such a pretty short stack…..



This blue pair is my recipe from ones I’ve seen before. 2x2 rib that I extended on top of the foot. 

The yarn I purchased online from Hobbii, fingering weight but lost the band with more info.



This one I’ll have to locate the pattern and info. So autumnal and I’m counting the days until autumn.



This yarn is part of my Christmas gift from my daughter.  It’s a monthly sock club from Annie’s 

Just love the colors in this yarn.


Now this pair is made from the same skein of yarn but what a change in how the colors pooled from one sock to the other. I really do not care too much for this pair but no one will see the striking difference. This one was also from the monthly sock club  



These shorties are the first pair of shorties I’ve have made and it’s only the beginning.  Yarn was given to me from a friend. The pattern is from Earth Tone Girl called Alacrity Sock. 

Love the garter stitched heel



This pair is made from scraps I had from other projects. 

The pattern is called Scrappy short socks by Charlotte of  Stoneknits design. 


Well that’s all

    You've got some really cute socks finished. My favorite pair are the ones that use the rainbow yarn.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
