The winner is....

Thanks for sharing all the great projects that you're working on. You gave me some great new ideas. I decided to give both prizes away so without further ado the winners are.....

Heather - Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Superchunky

Adrienne - Yukon sock yarn

Also, you will each receive a row counter courtesy of Pam from Prettyknittyjewelry.

Congratulations ladies. Please email me your address (my email is in the side bar). I will be picking your row counters up on Thursday and will be sending your package out on Friday.

Remember to stop back I'm going to be posting a de-stash this week. There will be bags, yarn and maybe even some roving.

Contest for 2nd Blogiversary

I can't believe that it's been 2 yrs already. 2 yrs that have brought me many new knitting friends not to mention many laughs. So to celebrate I think a contest is in order. I love to see all the projects my friends are knitting and would love to know what everyone has on their needles. So from now til Saturday September 12th at midnight leave a comment and tell me what you're working on.

You will have a choice of two prizes and Pam has offered to throw in one of her great knitting counters. Thanks Pam!!!

First up is three skeins of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Super Chunky. There is enough to knit a hat and gloves. I made a pair of these great gloves with the same yarn for my grandmother.

If you don't like chunky yarn or don't live someplace that gets cold you can choose Pagewood Farms Yukon sock yarn. I had a hard time capturing the true colorway. It was dark and rainy today and the lightening just was not cooperating.


Don't forget in the comments to specify which prize you would like. I'm sure after I read all your comments my knitting queue will get much bigger. If this is your first time to my blog or your first time commenting WELCOME!!!

Good luck!!!

Process or Project.......

I have always been a process knitter. I've never really cared about whether or not I was going to actually wear the finished object. That seems to be changing lately. I think it's because I want to make the most of my knitting time because it is an investment of both my time and money. That being said if I don't really love a pattern I find it hard to knit whether it's for myself or a gift. I've also been craving some instant gratification knitting and is probably why I have been knitting so many socks. This makes fours pairs of socks for me now. They're almost too pretty to wear.

Pattern: Summer Lovin Socks

Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy
Color: Funky Fushcia (less than 1 skein)
Size: 8.5
Needles: US Size 1 (2.25mm)
Verdict: I love this yarn and the Fushcia color is beautiful.

Monday I'll be posting a blog contest for my 2 year Blogiversary. Don't forget to stop back and enter. Now I have to think of something creative for the contest.

Color inspiration......

Today's blog post is brought to you by the colors teal and orange. These colors have been making there way into many of my knitting projects and knitting inspiration. First up are some basic stockinette socks.

Pattern: Made it up as I went.

Yarn: Destination Yarn

Color: Copenhagen (less than 1 skein)
Size: Cast on 64 stitches
Needles: US Size 1 (2.25mm)
Basic Pattern: Cast on 64 stitches, K1, P1 ribbing for 12 rows.
I used the heel and toe from my Summer Lovin Sock pattern.
Verdict: I love this yarn and definitely need to get more to make a
baby hat and booties or a sweater.

Next up is my latest purchase from Hazel Knits. I was thinking about using the orange yarn (High ocTang) for my little pumpkin socks (Ravelry link) but it looks so great next to the teal (Beach Glass). I'm also working on a new design using these colors. Too bad they don't look good on me.
