Drowning.....

Lately I've been drowning in yarn and for some reason I keep buying more.

I see these projects I must do and I order a bunch of yarn. I have some DK coming for a baby hoodie, more sock yarn for an unusual pattern. What the heck.....I have enough yarn stashed to knit sox for a small country!

I buy some expensive yarn and some cheaper easy care stuff since I know I'm giving away the majority of sox I knit. I like to use easy care yarn for them..and save the good stuff. But why??? I'd better start using it all...and here goes.

These are for Kelly, whose favourite colours are the pinks, reds and purples.

Pattern:-Monkeys by CookieA., what a nice easy pattern with lovely results. (My first.)

My modifications:-A picot cuff , (another first) I used a provisional cast on, and also eye of partridge heel.

Yarn:- Socks that Rock. (yet another first) Colour:- Rhodonite. Lovely yarn.

I hope Kelly enjoys them. She is sixteen and she loves animals. I may knit her another pair with a dog motif.

I'm still working on my Truly shawl but I am on the edging after all the miles of garter stitch...hoping to see the end of the tunnel soon!

I am also knitting the Mystery Socks by Nancy Bush in yellow. This is for the SKA group on Ravelry. The clues are far enough apart I have the cuff done on both sox and waiting for clue#2. Something new on these sox..a "Vikkel" braid...umm...interesting!

Happy knitting and happy and safe Labour Day weekend everyone.
