Knitting - random list

I have started another pair of socks, but I'm not happy.  The pattern effect is not what I would like..

I am also annoyed at how difficult it is to get knitting needles for socks locally!

I was also tempted by Sirdar Crofter and this pattern.

 But I'm tempted by this outfit from Vertbaudet (for Little Squirrel)

But I am not paying £21 for a cardigan!  It is 80% Cotton and 20% Linen...  I need to have a look for a suitable pattern and yarn...

I really like the green colour.

Knitting - Socks

Finished them this morning whilst watching the tennis...

The second one is slightly shorter on the foot and I didn't match the wool up properly so they don't completely match.  BUT I'm very happy with them.

I used Silvers Socks Class.  Its a great tutorial for anyone new to knitting socks and double pin needles and I would highly recommend it.

I would not recommend leaving a year between socks...

I think I will investigate other sock knitting methods...

*knitting on 2 circular needles

*magic loop

*toe up

*knit 2 socks at the same time

Knitting - Socks

I am FINALLY finishing my pair of socks!

I started knitting them in January 2009  and finished the first one in a week.

It has taken me a year to get this far with the second one!

I have to finish it ASAP as I need to knit another pair in two weeks as I ony have one set of needles....

oh dear.
