I have finished the pair of Sheri’s Lace socks for my sister’s birthday & began the Cascading Leaves, also for her birthday…but they will be late :rollseyes: I did several gauge swatches Sun. evening & decided upon the size 1 addi’s & I cast on & knit a few inches yesterday…this lovely pattern is going to take a while,well, let’s just say they won’t be done in a couple of days
Ahh, almost forgot…I’m using KnitPicks’ Essential sock yarn (but I’ve already ordered Lang Jawoll in heather blue for another pair
)
Sheri's Lace and Cascading Leaves Socks
those socks are going to be beautiful! lucky sister!!
Rebecca, have you finally converted to socks on circs???
Looking great, and I love the color.
I like them, especially the colour!
Very pretty! I just wish the lace socks I was/am working on would work out!
Verrrrry pretty! It doesn’t look easy.
I just love lacy socks! Much prettier than any spearfish I have ever seen!
Thanks everyone! KQ, yep, I’m loving
doing socks on circs…I actually began these on dpns, but quickly changed my mind
Those are going to be lovely!! The pattern is gorgeous and you chose a great color!
Thanks so much, the color is actually darker than in the photo (I’m not the best digital photographer, much better with 35mm
)…These are taking quite a while, I thought that I may actually have them done for my sister’s bday…but she will get one pair (Sheri’s Lace) and one sock & have to wait for sock #2 :roflhard: :rofling: …I have a great sister…she’ll be cool with waiting
I them!
Thanks!
Boy, these socks are taking forever to knit…I’m still on the 1st one!! Well, my not feeling well & going to my doc twice this week has a bit to do with it :rollseyes: AND, I’m running out of yarn…so, I had to order another ball…I’m going to be a few yards short, but I think the sock is going to look better with the long leg that I’ve knit (8"). I’ve also decided to keep them bc I won’t be finished in time for my sister’s bday & I will be much happier knitting her a quick scarf to go with her other socks. Or, I may yet give them to her…who knows?! They are quite lovely if I do say so myself I’m off to see if I can finish up this sock before I cast on for her lacey scarf
Wow they look gorgeous Rebecca! Hrm goes in search of a socks on circulars tutorial
Beautiful pattern & color! These are going to be great!!
Thanks, you guys…u sure know how to make a girl feel nice
LOL, well, the quick scarf that I knit for my sister last night was hideous…so I threw it away :roflhard: :rofling: I just don’t like to work with lace wt yarn :rollseyes: Soooo, I decided that tomorrow I will give her the Sheri’s Lace socks and 1 of the Spearfish socks for her birthday :lol: She will know that the other Spearfish sock is own its way, I will knit it in hope that the ball of yarn that I ordered gets her quickly
Here we have a pic of a sock…LOL!
:shock: OMGoodness, I must admit I didn’t think I’d make it, but I finished a lovely pair of Cascading Leaves (pdf file) socks for my sister. They were a quick knit after I felt better
I can so totally relate Becka. I got so discouraged and frustrated with my lace socks from my Patons booklet, that I got mad and frogged it. I am reusing that yarn for a pair of Cascading Leaves too, and I’m just fixing a mistake in one needle… in the 4th repeat of the lace. I’m hoping to turn the heel at some point this weekend {which is actually my work week}.
Too bad about the sock, Becka–it’s so gorgeous! Knitting should be fun though, and the Cascading Leaves socks look equally lovely!
Thanks, girls…I knew u would understand
I have the original sock in my sock drawer…one day, perhaps, I will decide to knit the mate…that would be one day when it hasn’t AGGRAVATED me so much :roflhard: :rofling: It’s a shame not to finish them
So, perhaps for Christmas
[size=2]or maybe not[/size]
Ahhhh, I love getting yarn, so I ordered a cone of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece for Christmas things[SIZE=1]…or stuff for me[/SIZE] I
LOVE
ebay & Oregon Trail Yarn & Books has EXCELLENT items & ships right away, I usually get my stuff in 3 days
This yarn was even faster! I think I will knit something for my sister to match the socks!
