What do get when you mix old leftover sock yarns?

By -



You get Left-Over socks of course. I'll post my pattern soon! (thanks for all the shared leftovers!!!! I think another reason we like them, is of course, there is more time to knit when you only have to reheat or recreate leftovers) What a quick way to stash bust.

Did anyone notice that for a few posts in a row, there, I used titles that all began with C...U...B...S. It was my sublimineal message to all. Oh it is okay. We are so accostomed to not getting into the World Series we know how to handle it. In a way it is easier just because we have done this soooooo many times, we know life goes on.

Okay, on to gift knits. Is grey or charcoal the ultimate safe color to give ANYone? Or is it another color???


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I am smitten with your Left-over Socks and already eyeing all the left-overs in my stash. Pattern please! As for gift colors, I believe the brighter the better. Why be safe when you can be, u-m-m-m-m crazy?

Those socks are so cute!! What a great use for Leftovers!!! Hmmm, I'd say blue is usually a pretty safe color for gifts too - who doesn't like blue?

Yeah, I go with blue, too. Or whatever the recipient really likes. Like my sister who loves All Things Flag, who got the flag socks.

Good times.

I didn't catch your subliminal message--very clever. Wish it would have worked.

Love the way the socks are turning out. Good use of left overs.

I think blue is a color most people like.

I love the leftover socks. it'll look great.

I know I'm strange, but I love grey and charcoal, so I'll be happy with it. I think it's hard choosing a colour for someone else, it would depend on what they like.

You are a genious! A sock knitting genious! Why didn't I think of that? And of course, all of our leftover yarns would look good together, because we love all of our yarns!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
