New Socks for Deb

My friend is very fond of pink. Socks wear out quickly and it's winter again and she's just had a birthday so let's hope they will be a good fit for her and not a disappointment (ie too small or too tight)

The pattern is called Temperance from Ravelry.

The yarn is Light of Love from my Favourite online yarn store

I've been working on a method of using two strands of yarn knitted separately (bit like mosaic knitting) to reinforce the heels and toes by using a scrap yarn. I'm hoping to improve the durability and longevity of socks.

Baby Jacket

I don't usually make anything except socks. Our friends Barbara and Seb recently had their first child hence an easy jacket.

My latest pair

This great yarn was from My favourite yarn shop and made up into great socks. I don't yet know who these are for but I like the side panel I made. See my Ravelry page.

Charity Socks w NZ Yarn

Another pair with reinforced heel. I'm getting better at this. Check out my Charity Socks w NZ Yarn on my Ravelry page.

Charity Socks to go to Bend OR

I made a reinforced heel for these. Check out my Ravelry page

Amber's Socks

Amber was quite happy to have beaded socks knowing she would have to hand wash them. For full details see my Ravelry page
