So life and work has finally started to settle down a bit. I can't believe that it's June already. Where has the time gone. Even though I have been busy I have been trying to make some time for knitting. Lots of babies being born so I knit a couple of baby blankets and some baby socks. Still have to finish the last sock.
I love to make baby socks to use up the last bit of the left over sock yarn. They're fast and too cute. The blanket is the 8 hour blanket pattern by plymouth. It's made using size 13 needles with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together. I used plymouth encore white and colorspun (7962). For the socks I used my left over Pagewood Farms Yukon in colorway New Horizon and the pattern is a Fortissimo baby sock pattern.
I've also started the Mad Color Weave socks (Ravelry link). I frogged my first attempt using some of my Socks that Rock because the color was pooling. The pattern is a lot of fun and is simple enough to do while watching TV.
So far I just have the ribbing done. I love the yarn. It's Sunshine yarn that I received in my first Harry Potter sock club mailing. The colorway is 'The Quibbler'. Dani does such a great job. Her sock club is definitely worth it. Check out the fun card she encloses to explain her inspiration.
I can't wait to get my house yarn in August.

cute sock! I like the color combo of your new mad color weave sock! I think that will work much better!
I concur! That colorway is better suited to the pattern. Can't wait to see the finished socks, when the time comes!
My perspective on Novelty Socks has been entirely changed by Socksmith Socks! You can't go wrong with any of their designs; they're quirky and one-of-a-kind. It doesn't matter whether I'm looking for something traditional or eccentric; Socksmith offers it all. Another great thing is that they are long-lasting and really comfy. Finding novelty socks that are both fashionable and high-quality is not easy, yet Socksmith does it with ease. Thanks to you, my sock drawer is much more interesting now!
