26ppii #6 Socks



This pair is one of my own designs and for me.
Am ashamed to admitt these have been on the needles since Dec 22,1910. But due to all my other commitments was never able to finish this pair.
THIS WAS THE WEEK I DECIDED THEY HAD TO BE FINISHED AS TIRED OF HAVING THEM LAYING AROUND
AND COULD NOT WEAR THEM

This gorgeous pair of socks was knitted with Lana Grossa meilenweit wool sock yarn.
Is a beautiful mixture of blacks and greys with a little navy in the yarn.
Nice yarn to work with but found it was splitting a bit when getting to the end of the ball. Maybe I was in too big of a hurry to finish them. But they fit me so nice and are very comfortable. Used 2.25mm needles so made a tighter fit.

26ppii #5 Socks


Finished these for a Christmas gift. Have to start early as have over 15 pairs to make for this Christmas.
Fabel Yarns and very nice to work with. Yarn is self stripping.
Started this pair on July 28th and finished on Aug 5, 2011 These are one of the size 12 pairs which I have to make a few.

Danielle Steel new book Legacy

Hubby brought me an ereader this past Monday. Can't believe I actually read this book in 2 days. Really loving the ereader and how easy it is to use.
Legacy is a story about a family searching their family roots. Went back to France from the USA and found the link to a Sioux ggggrandmother. Very good read and actually was disappointed it ended so quickly. Could of added a lot more to the story but I guess the rest is left to the imagination.
Would recommend it in a heart beat.
