New Knitting Projects and Photos

pink socks

I had my computer professional over today to help me find my missing photos. It turns out the setting was wrong, so my computer  wasn't saving them. Now I can quickly and easily upload them. I recently  finished these feminine lace socks from Winwick Mum's blog. Here is the link.  lace socks. She is such an excellent teacher! I love her patterns and videos. This one is free. I think they all are, but she accepts donations.

This was my first time doing something different than a short row heel. I find this version to be much easier, although I really  love short rows. I bought the yarn  in Wrightwood, California, at a little yarn shop up in the mountains. I think it's so pretty. The lace gives them an antique look, but it's a very easy pattern. The second and fourth rows are just knits and pearls. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy making socks. I plan to list these in my etsy shop.

I've been crocheting another sock yarn back with leftover sock yarn. I gave the socks to a friend in San Diego. The yarn looks entirely different when it's crocheted. It's so  colorful. I love using these to hold a center pull ball of yarn. You can find the pattern here. It's at the Yellow Pink and Sparkly blog.

Here's a photo of the cashmere hat that I knit. The pattern is free. It's by Rebecca Graves. I found it at www.rebeccagravespottery.com. It was a challenging pattern for me. I'm not used to doing so many cables. I was excited that it sold it as soon as I had finished it, to a wonderful knitter! It just so happens that  she was looking for a hat, and this one fit her perfectly. I think she looks just gorgeous! I bought some more yarn in other neutrals. I plan to knit a few more of these; they're so pretty!

I will be blogging regularly and posting more photos to update you on all of the knitting projects that I've completed since January. I can't wait to show them to you! How are things going in your neck of the woods?
