52 pair plunge kickoff

Monkeys and Cables Twists.....


I started and finished this sock yesterday. I am really liking Neon Monkeys! This is my second pair of Monkey socks in Opal Neon. This if my first sock for the 52 pair plunge kick off, now I just need to do it's mate. I only did 4 repeats on the cuff because I don't really like high cuffs and they don't fit well with my thicker calves. This is the um, the fourth sock that doesn't have a mate.... help! I am sinking in second sock syndrome - but yet I cast on another sock that isn't a second. What is wrong with this picture!


So speeding along.....I started this sock yesterday after completing the first Neon Monkey. I want to finish these socks before the weekend. There will be no second sock syndrome with this one. I am really going to try, really try and if I don't succeed then I will have five socks without a mate.

Pattern: Cable Twist Socks
Yarn: Regia Royal
Needles: KP Size 1 circulars
I changed up the pattern just a bit to be 64 stitches and the repeats are k6, p2 instead of k5, p2


So really now.. keep your fingers crossed for a second sock to come from somewhere.

Socks in need of a mate:
Carolina
Charade
Neon Monkey
Steelers sock (this is 45% done)

I need to start doing two at a time, maybe magic loop method....

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

More details always on my Ravelry account

WIP-February Socks(Valentine Edition)

Jaywalker ONE is done!!! I am taking a brief jaywalker hiatus to start a pair of Prism socks. I really like the pattern and can use up some misc multicolored yarn that I got thru Destash. I will def get both pair done before the end of Feb so there is no second sock syndrome or any other sock related illness on the horizon.



I haven't worked on Mr Tealjeans in over two weeks :(
The goal was to have it done before superbowl. The superbowl is tomorrow and I am not even close. I will def finish it soon but I hope there will enough chilly weather to wear it.

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 .
