Closing toes

I'm busy closing toes on the socks. I have finally learned to close the toes from the inside of the sock. No more putting them on needles well that if i could remember to remove the heel lift on that last row. Form some reason I just started not removing it. Must be that I'm happy to celebrate another sock being done. ha, ha. We are getting a lot of rain on top of all the snow we had. We will have ice.... Thats not fun. I haven't had my car out of the driveway for a week. First the door was frozen shut from the snow then I ran the car for way over an hour trying to get all the ice to melt and the snow off the windows. No such luck I just turned off the car and went with my husband. I don't mind going shopping with him but he is always in a hurry to leave the stores.

With all the sock making for gifts I manage to knit a pair for myself that are really warm. We need warm socks.....

Look at my NZAK heel lift Marika Cowan put beads on them. It just perfect. Thanks You Marika

Christmas Gifts

I have been working on socks and scarves for Christmas. I don't know why I don't start early. I seem to work better under pressure. This is just cutting it tooo close.

Verdun 47 I will have plenty of time to work with this machine after Christmas and will be able to relax.

09 Nov Lacey Retreat

We had a lot of fun at the retreat Lots of classes at this retreat we all learned something new and refresh what we already learned. The hot item was knitting mitts,, Thank You Laura Shickli for letting use your pattern.

Lacey Retreat

I'm excited to be able to go to the Lacey Retreat this is the second year. I'm happy to be able to see all my friends and meet new ones. I hope one of these days I will see you there!

I am hoping the weather holds out so I can fly out. We had one week of snow and oh yes two days of rain on top of that. Thank goodness it has warmed up a little so most of the snow is melted the grass is looking good under the snow. The lake is thawing out so can't get on it at all. The ducks are on the lake walking on the ice.

I made a pair of mittens from Angora they are very soft I added Lycra as a run along not the cotton lycra but the spider web lycra. Now this is like making socks. I want to keep all of them. It's a good thing I live where I can : )

I have been working on handwarmers. Having fun making them here are a few I made

One storming day the Beach has lots of seaweed on it it was amazing how much collected in one day

I do spend a lot of time at the cliff by our place looking out at the ocean. My dog loves looking at the ocean. My husband on the beach pointed at a double Rainbow

Shell Garden and shell from beachcombing

I have been really lazy and not posting as I am knitting. I have had a busy summer spening time at our cabin beachcombing, working in the yard, hiking and just relaxing and enjoying it. I had to take a picture of my shells from the computer since I wasnt out there and got the top of the screen : )

Red sock yarn given to me from Shelly H

short sock for summer

Need to close these socks

The Brown pair on the right is one of my hand dyed sock yarn The sock on the left is Regias Sock yarn the cuff, heel and toe are made from the dyed sock yarn I had 3 skeins of the Blue Regias .


Below I made myself a pair from the regias yarn. Okay green I think its my favorite color for socks for me. The green pair on the left I had knitted a year ago and both heels blow out so I took it apart and knitted on the CSM ... I'm happy that I was able to re knit it. It was knitted from a hand dyed I purchase on one of my trips to Fresno CA ..... The two green ones on the right are WildFoote sock yarn. The wide striped blue was left over from a sock yarn I bought from the Retreat in Lacey WA and the sock that has color around the ankle and above the toe is Knit Picks yarn that was left over.
I'm happy I was able to knit these sock. Before I started them I had a problem my yarn guide nut fell off when I was knitting. It took me awhile to figure out what happened. Couldn't find the nut... then the ribber spacer screw loosed and so I had two problems The ribber was to low so it was dropping stitches the guide was to low and making the ribber stitches drop. I finally got it to knit. .... Now I'm going to rest from the CSM and do some hand knitting that I need to do.

3 Black Pair this is made out of the cone yarn I got from Pat Fly you make them about 10 rows larger then you want and wash them and dry them in the dryer and they are so nice and thick.
This is the yarn I got from Gay 3 pair out of two skeins boot socks for me
These are left over from my hand dyed yarn I really like the colors on them
This is made out of my Louet yarn I bought a few years ago. I love this yarn and got it out of my stash I was saving.
