My First Knit Sock In The Round Yarn Along 106

My First  Knit Sock In The Round Sock

It is so good to be with you during this weeks yarn along.

I spent most of my week reading and re-reading on how to make a sock. I decided to just go for it.. and that is what I would like to share this week. This sad little sock is not perfect and I am not sure if I completely like it..but it is a sock never the less. I am still slowly learning the anatomy of a sock.

I decided to go with the band heel because there is no gusset to worry about and that meant less thinking and more knitting. I decided to go with the star toe which I didn't really like and will not do next time.

I really like the yarn I used which is Deborah Norville Serenity  50% Merino Wool, 25% Rayon made with Bamboo and  25% Nylon. The sock is so warm and cozy. I am really excited to make a real pair with this yarn. I don't have enough yarn to make another long leg sock....so I have decided to use the rest of the yarn to make a ankle length sock for more practice:) I bought a skein of Patons Kroy which is 75% Wool and 25% Nylon. This I hope will make a nice pair of socks..but not until after I have one more practice of making a good heel and a toe:)

Thank you  for stopping by today friend..please tell me what you  have been knitting and keeping busy with...and always I like to thank Ginny for this weeks yarn along.....

Many Blessings to you reader,

Crocheted Doily Yarn Along 105

Crocheted Doily

So good to be with you during this weeks yarn along.

I am still working on my hooded cowl. It probably will be a while before it is finished.  I needed a doily for one of my tables so I crocheted one up real quick only took about an hour. I received this cross stitch kit from a very good friend. I have been spending my Sunday afternoons working on it..I am loving it! Out of the blue I decided to cast on a wrist warmer on Monday. It is the first time I have ever made one in the round. I am using  my 9 inch cord... I am slowly getting used to it.  I still really want to learn to make a pair of socks in the round...so these wrist warmers are really helping me practice getting the hang of them.

I can't wait to see what everyone else is knitting, crocheting or crafting. Thank you stopping by today reader...

Many Blessings to you,

My Finished Two Needle Sock ** Flat Sock Knitting** " New Knitter"

My Finished Two Needle Sock **Flat Sock Knitting** " New Knitter"

I know two posts in one day??....but I had to share my finished sock. I can't believe it actually looks like a sock and feels like a sock..~smile~

I finished the bottom of the foot and then shaped the heel by: decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together at the beginning and the end of each row until 12 stitches remain. I then immediately began increasing one stitch at the beginning and end of each row until the stitch count is back until 24.....I then binded off and stitched the ribbing and all angles..heel and toe.

I used Vanna's Glamour yarn color Topaz it is a very forgiving yarn...so don't look to close there are a few mistakes..~smile~

I am excited about making my second sock....although I might take a small break and work on a wallet that I have been wanting to make..~smile~ I look forward to wearing both of my socks this winter~~~smile~~

1 Hour on A Sunday

We had such a busy Sunday.... but my daughter and I found 1 hour to do what we like. I knitted on my summer looking dish towel while my daughter practiced her guitar. It was such a pretty day that I hated to be so busy...we broke a record yesterday here in Kentucky it made it above 85 degrees ~smile~
