Mid-top Socks

By -


This lovely sock was made by Al using a Hedwig colorway. She created the pattern. I love the owl like colorway. I believe it was SweetGeorgiaYarns. I washed many knitted socks today. It is so nice to have a selection. I know socks are a bit of work, but what useful knitting eh?

I am using the Kookaburra wash that I purchased from Knit Picks. I like the soft scent. I lay them on the a free radiator. (one not occupied by contented cats).
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

Pretty! I'm also enjoying my selection of knitted socks right now. One of the best things about fall! (And I think the Hedwig yarn may be Sunshine Yarns...) :)

Today is the first day I am wearing my knitted socks (Jaywalkers) all day. And I used to dry things on the radiators all the time when we lived in Germany.

Great looking sock Ali. I love the colors in that yarn. I've been wearing my hand knit socks for a few weeks here in south west Ohio. My feet are the warmest part of my body.

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
