April Kal - Nutkins

I started my April sock on March 30th, which I know was a bit of a cheat, but really who is going to punish me? The knitting nazis might get me!! Anyway, I started knitting the first sock on size one needles. I don't know what made me think that I would get gauge with needles that small. I am a loose knitter but I don't care how loose I knit, I got the first repeat done and tried them on.. good to go :) and then.. I got five repeats done and I was ready to start the heel. I tried them on again, just because the progress is so fun to see on an actual foot...Yea so I pretty much wanted to rip my hair out but ended up having to frog everything but the ribbing. I decided on going to my trusty size 2 harmonys and was able to fly thru 4 repeats and now I have an entire sock done. I may have set a world record, or not.... I did this entire sock in four days including the almost losing my hair frogging incident.

February Socks

Two pair completed for February....



and I got a really nice pair of socks blockers for Valentine's day and I wanted to share....



I am spamming my own blog, I am so lazy that I copied and pasted this post from the socks from stash club.

February Socks

I have been working on two pair of socks for February. I need to have a kitchener party to finish the afterthought heels but other than that two pair will be complete.




First pair of socks is made with Regia in the Jaywalker Pattern, second is a pair made with Knitpicks Essentials in ash and some misc multicolored sock stash using the Prism sock Pattern

WIP-February Socks

I cast on for my February socks on Thursday and then recast on again yesterday. I had to frog the first start because they were way too big. I dropped 4 stitches and these fit alot better. I really like the pattern and because it is easy to memorize I can knit along without much thought. Mindless knitting is really my favorite kind.
Is it considered cheating if I cast on for a February sock in the month of January? I don't think it's a major problem. I wil most likely get two pair of socks done in Feb anyway, so oh well. Sock KAL's are fun. Ravelry is fun! Knitting is fun!
FUN FUN FUN FUN .
