Wednesday WiP: Wedding Socks

Today I thought I would show the progress of my "wedding socks." I started knitting them the day before my wedding and have been working on them on and off since then.

These socks make me happy for many reasons. Of course, number one being that every time I wear them I will be able to think of knitting them while everyone was getting ready the morning of our wedding. And knitting them on the plane ride to Cabo, and here and there while on our honeymoon.

These socks also made me happy because the yarn was gifted to me from Jenni, my knitting BFF. And she picked out just what I like Socks That Rock (in the FemmeBot colorway).

Finally, these socks made me happy because I have achieved happiness with this multi-colored yarn. No crazy pooling or flashing. I think I may have finally found my happy place with the mutli STR yarn. 60 sts. US Size 1.

Happy happy WIP. I can't wait to finish these babies!

Bridgewater Socks

I have added a new sock pattern, Bridgewater, to Ravelry today!

These socks were designed for Socktober at Fuzzy Wuzzy in Arlington Heights. Now that Socktober is over, I am happy to have it available here on Ravelry!

It’s a cuff down with heel flap. It’s an easy lace pattern with only two rows of lace/repeat. The rest is just stockinette.

Also, it’s written for 3 sizes - 56sts, 64sts, & 72sts.

Now thru 11/25, you can get the pattern for $1.00 (making it only $4) when you use the coupon code “bridgewater” at checkout!

Hope you enjoy it!

Kollage KAL Cast On

Friday was the start of the Accessories KAL, which features a few of my patterns, in the Kollage Yarns group on Ravelry.

I had some time this weekend to start on my project (due to flying to Chattanooga for  wedding), and actually got quite a bit of knitting done:

It's my Bonnie Jean pattern knit out of Kollage Riveting Sport. It's the recycled blue jeans yarn and it soft and beautiful and yummy. I seriously can't put this thing down. At the rate I'm going, I think I will be done with this by next week!

Did you join the Kollage KAL? If so, what are you working on?

Happy knitting.
