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.

Here are some of the socks that need the toes closed

Monday, April 6, 2009

I have been closing the toes on all the socks..... on the last pair I decided to try to close the toes with the sock inside out... not bad it was quicker then putting them back on the needles. I had used cotton for waste yarn so I didn't have to deal with yarn splitting. I getting ready to dye yarn this week. I'm down to the last two skeins of dyed yarn.

Here are some sock I finished the toes on two pair the rest are going into the sack when I get ready to just do toes... The orange socks... one with green heel I got two pairs out of one skein so that was very cool.

This is the sock that was knitted from that skein I just couldn't imagine what it was going to look like. See how much yarn I have left after knitting this pair. I can get a pair of ankle socks out of this.
I'm getting socks ready to finish all toes.. I mainly wanted the picture to show my friend the skein of Cherry Tree hill and how it knitted up.

Oh and that blue wine bottle its for putting into the sock if I need to pick up stitches. Ha you probably thought I drank it trying to knit the sock.
