Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in “woodlawn”, and Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye in “One Hit Wonder”
Pattern: Welt Fantastic by Charlene Schurch
Notes: I was going to give them away, but after finishing them I like them more than I thought I would and I think they’ll make great winter house socks… FOR ME!
Don’t worry, I’m not spoiling him – he’s seen these already although they were unfinished at the time.
Yarn: Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye in Superwash Merino Sock, “Grey Gardens” (the June 2010 sock club colorway)

Wow, when was the last time I even had time to knit, let alone finish something?!

Pattern: Zanzibar by Cookie A.
Notes: Did for a class at the shop, and while this is not the first Cookie A sock I’ve done, it did give me a whole new respect and love for her designs.
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in “Roadside Gerry”
Pattern: Feather & Fan stitch pattern, made up toe/heel/cuff as I went along
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in “Vera”
Pattern: Kaiso by Judy Sumner
Notes: So named because for a while they were just a pair of lonely toes used to teach someone how to knit toe-up; then they languished while I had other more pressing knitting. Surprise, I cranked the rest of the socks out between Saturday night and this morning. However, I did run out of yarn so they’re not as long as I wanted them to be… also, I had to use a different yarn for the last couple of rows and the bind-off. I hope that’s not too noticeable (I hesitate to even say that, since these are going to be a gift later this year…).
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in “Archangel”
Pattern: Slip-Stitch Cable Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott
Yarn: Plymouth Sockotta
Pattern: Woven Stitch by Charlene Schurch
Notes: Socks for family members come with a lifetime guarantee – I guarantee that if they get a hole and need darning or wear out that I’ll make you another pair rather than have to learn to darn. Why can I never spell guarantee correctly? Thank gawd for Spellcheck. ANYWAY. These are replacement socks for Uncle Joe, replacing the first pair of socks I ever made for him. They had a good three years of use, as Unca Joe loves his handknit socks!
Yarn: Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye, Cash Sock, in the February 2010 sock club colorway – “G-ma’s Candy”
