blu s knitting needlework skip to main skip to sidebar blu s knitting needlework dedicated to the countless hours i spend knitting crocheting and doing all the needle crafts out there wednesday january 28 2009 new sock of kindness ok ok my knitting blog was getting increasingly jealous when i updated the boring blog with today s snowfall and the stained glass blog with progress on my fireplace screen so i was forced to update this one as well this is what i ve been working on the new rendition of the sock of kindness i think it looks lots better than the previous one done in the purple as you can see the second sock is well underway and should be done within the week unfortunately it seems the blog had every intention of keeping me awake all night unless its demands were met and it was updated like it s sister blogs don t you hate it when your blog acts up posted by blu486 at 11 11 pm no comments thursday january 15 2009 there be clogs here i have finished knitting and felting my very first pair of clogs aren t they cool these are from a fiber trends pattern purchased at my lys i used cascade yarns double strand and felted in my washing machine for about 20 or 30 minutes they are still a bit moist after a day and a half of drying so have them on my feet not such a great idea since it is only about 8 degrees in st louis tonight i fell in love with the colors and think they came out great especially for my first try at clogs posted by blu486 at 9 28 pm no comments friday january 02 2009 finally been knitting again ok so i haven t blogged since may i hear you moaning or is that cheering anyway i finally got into the knitting mode just before christmas with some nice ancient knitpicks hollyberry yarn decided to make just a nice pair of socks and fell back on my favorite blueberry waffle pattern no biggie so managed to finish these oh about december 27th yeah poor timing but for christmas got a real sock blocker the ones pictured above i fashioned myself out of stuff called foam core which is basically styrofoam coated with thick paper on both sides actually i personally think they work quite well especially when you consider how long i ve been out of work anyway today i got the required size 0 needles and made a sock isn t it just the cutest thing ever and this is really the coolest thing when you put the two socks one normal and one tiny you get a feel for how incredibly tiny that thing is i m just amazed by it now i want to make an entire wardrobe of tiny keychain socks isn t like i don t have enough leftover skein ends to make all sorts of spiffy tiny socks i can hardly wait wish there was a knitting fairy who would come and knit them while i sleep hope you had great holidays and that the new year brings all your knitting wishes true posted by blu486 at 4 46 pm no comments friday may 16 2008 and now for something completely different the sock of kindness is really turning out very pretty i cast on for this last night in tofootsie yarn that niece gwyndy gave me for my birthday over a year ago it is turning out quite lovely and i can t wait to see how it looks finished of course i m not a fan of the short row heels everybody s raving about so i ll mostly likely do my own thing once it gets to that point stay tuned posted by blu486 at 10 03 pm no comments wednesday may 14 2008 new pair of socks fo i ve officially finished another pair of socks these came out so pretty made on size one needles it was hard getting used to the tiny stitches i m glad these are done and i can move on to something new and different actually that s the most difficult part finding just the right pattern for whatever yarn i have in my stash but i ll be working on that tomorrow today we bask in the glory and satisfaction of a new pair completed no second sock syndrome posted by blu486 at 10 07 pm 1 comment friday march 28 2008 ah almost spring and now for my niece who seems to have a serious case of the knitting blahs i present the following what s this i hear her scream sock blockers well actually no these are blockers of my own design i made them from a sheet of foam core i had on hand provided i had known where to look for it turns out it was in the basement buried so for a month i ve been cleaning and re arranging the basement and have managed to toss so far three dumpsters of trash got rid of loads of really old gross stuff gave fluorescent light fixtures to my brother and found countless things i ve missed including important papers discovered hidden in my old brief case from yesteryear anyway here are the completed leaf lace socks the first of the twisted rib socks and what the heck took lady eleanor outside for a stroll in the sun please note these are the very first daffodills in the yard to bloom also right at the toe of the twisted ribs below and kind of surrounding it are some snowbells the lady is stuck on the fence as many women are yuc yuc so that s it for my knitting as you can tell i ve been knitting throughout the winter just not blogging about it sorry posted by blu486 at 5 13 pm 1 comment tuesday february 26 2008 semi retired even in my semi retirement i have tried to keep busy not always easy since napping seems to have become some sort of activity anyway in between naps meals sleeping computer gaming and working on stained glass see blog link to left i have done some knitting this is the falling leaves pattern done in fiber trends peridot i m really loving it even after completing the first sock the second one seems to be going quite quickly so here you have the lovely completed first sock a nice close up of the pattern and the intimidating star toe i say intimidating since i ve only ever done one kind of toe on the socks i ve knit so even thought about bypassing this in favor of the tried and true variety but once i read through the directions this was even easier than the normal toe and looks really neat to boot posted by blu486 at 10 30 pm no
