The blues...

These past few weeks have been a bumpy time for us but I did manage to do a little knitting.

(Balm for my soul.)

My mother is having a birthday and the woman who needs and wants nothing did however request socks and slippers...I have yet to do the slippers but here are the socks.

The denim blue were knit using:-

Regia silk; purchased at my LYS.

Sz #1 DP's using 60sts...a little of this pattern and a little of another.

I did do an eye of partridge heel flap just to break up the plain sock.

I loved knitting with the 'Regia Silk' but I did feel the yarn got a little fuzzy! (Hey, maybe it's supposed to be like that???

Next, ''Embossed Leaves" pattern by Mona Schmidt from 'Interweave Knits"

For the 'Embossed Leaves Socks' I used Claudia Hand paint 'Wisteria'

Sz#2 needles (I probably should have used #1's since I do like a denser type sock.)

I did leave off one pattern on the cuff and did an eye of partridge heel flap keeping the 3 stitch garter edge. I have incorporated the garter edge on most socks I knit.

I probably choose the blues because of my mood....couldn't be more apropos!!!

Happy knitting.
