Time for Plan B

lilysunshine — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:21:03 +0000

A couple of month ago, I made a plan of things I wanted to work on. It’s been semi-successful. The cockleshells gloves have been finished and I even made a pair of matching mittens for Lucas. The skein of Scrumptious DK in magenta has been knitted up – but I can’t show you, it’s one . . . → Read More: Time for Plan B

Birthday Socks

My dear Mother-In-Law is one year sillier (her choice of words!) today – well, it’s already tomorrow where she is, but since we are still the 8th of September, it is still her birthday.

How to celebrate her birthday? By knitting her a new pair of socks. This might be the beginning of a tradition . . . → Read More: Birthday Socks

Ooo, a finished object!

After deliberations between the left and right part of my brain, I have decided to show you the latest socks I have knitted (for myself). I thought about submitting them for publication, but as much as I like them, I wasn’t sure they were worthy of such an honour. There’s nothing utterly special about them. . . . → Read More: Ooo, a finished object!

Going in er… squares!

I started knitting socks about 2 years ago. I’m not an avid sock knitter, but once in a while, I love working on a sock. Especially after a long tedious project, I really enjoy the assurance of a quick project (unless you decided to cast on Rhombuses by Cookie A., like I foolishly did.. now . . . → Read More: Going in er… squares!

A few weeks ago, as I was visiting my local yarn shop, I had to buy this wonderful ball of sock yarn by Regia which had the maddest green / pink / orange mix. I’m a sucker for pink and green combos, especially when we’re in the middle of a cold and wet British winter. . . . → Read More: Crazy Jaywalkers

Knit. Sock. Love

On Sunday, my lovely friend Tina ‘dragged’ me to Loop. Well, I was very willing to go, so willing that when the husband turned out to be too ill to watch over Lucas while I was gone, I took him along with us. There’s nothing like a little yarny adventures to entertain a little 1-year-old . . . → Read More: Knit. Sock. Love

Kia Ora! (That’s “Hi!” in Maori)

Another finished item that I should blog about: the sensible twisty socks! They’ve been finished for a little while now and have been waiting to be packed and sent away to their new owner. They are a birthday gift you see, and the lucky birthday person is in New . . . → Read More: Sensible twisty socks

Little Man Socks

Long time no post! I have been so busy working on different projects that I haven’t taken the time to write about them until now.

I’m going to start talking about my latest and smallest project first, and I’ll keep the other 2 finished projects for the coming few days.

Socks 2010 – Part 2

I have finished the mini Seaweeds! They only took a few hours to make and are really cute. They’re not perfect, far from it, but for a first time adapting an adult size sock into a baby size one, I think I’ve done pretty well.

Baby sized Seaweeds socks! The picture is not the best, . . . → Read More: Socks 2010 – Part 2

Socks 2010 – Part 1

lilysunshine — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:29:35 +0000

My Seaweed socks are finished! I can’t believe it took me less than a month from start to finish. This feat has been achieved thanks to my Little One whose sleeps patterns have become much more regular. I now have at least 1 hour every evening solely devoted to knitting! GREAT!
