Sock It To Me!

Laugh- In!   A super oldie but goldie TV hit!  There was a bit of comedy that said "Sock It To Me"!  Oh yes!  what a laugh!  Sorry to say, that sock it to me has been in my life lately!

Yes, I'm addicted

 to sock knitting now!  Having so much fun with different yarns, patterns, designs--My pattern for February is of course, hearts in Fucsia 

I've never knit with this color--there is Red pair of socks  but this bright pink will be interesting!
The pattern is "Piece of my heart" found on Ravelry by DKissinger and I"m sure I'll have enough yarn to make a matching set of FLG (fingerless Gloves) with hearts as well.
The start of heart socks—two at the same time! Best way to finish a Pair!!
I changed my mind and decided to knit ‘Key to My Heart’, designed by The Kitchen Sink Shop’ free on Ravelry—I’ll knit the other pattern later. 


Finished socks!  Had these two balls of yarn in my stash.  
Second pair for January! 

While rummaging through my handknit sock drawer, I came across a long forgotten pair of my handspun, hand knit fuzzy socks!  Ah so warm and comfortable to wear!  I pulled them out to set my feet warm on a rainy cool day.  
These were knit from my angora bunnies fiber--I would wear them when I demo-ed spinning at livestock show.  It was a chance for kiddos to touch my feet and feel the bunny.  Sometimes, I would have the bunny on my lap spinning her fiber as she slept.  It was always a fun demo.

The pattern for these socks was spiral stitch--I had a difficult time finding the pattern again--lots of searching the internet and my files and then there it was!  "Spiral knit tube socks by Leef Bloomenstiel--1991!  Unbelieveable that it has been that long ago that I knit these socks!

As I'm knitting away--my brain is thinking of the next pair I'll begin......
So Sock It To Me!

It's Time--

 It’s time to think about greeting cards I’ll send out this year.  Most years, if I’m not feeling pressed, I’ll create my own cards.  One ye...
