I Name Thee Hydrangea

So here are some more shots of the Bloomin' Feet socks for my pal. I have some goodies all together but I'm also creating a special bag to put the socks in and I haven't quite found the material that I want to use. Maybe I can stop on the way home at the fabric store. Photo shoot location is a little park area near the house that was created as part of a neighborhood kid's Eagle Scout project and is literally across the street from our house. I've always thought the statue was very Savannah'ish and heavily on my mind as I re-read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."



Pattern: Rock the Stars from Scout's December 2006 Indie Swag Club
Yarn: So as I said earlier, I used Black Bunny Fiber in a colorway that Carol didn't name so I dubbed her "Hydrangea."
Needles: 2 size # 1 Knitpicks circular needles. First socks using 2 circs...I'm a convert!
Modifications: I only knit 7" for the leg rather than 8", also Eye of the Patridge rather than the Knit 3, Purl 2 rib. Love this pattern by Stefanie Japel! I also got her "Fitted Knits" over the weekend!



More later on my weekend knitting gathering and my almost finished Poppy (2 more rows on the back, 3-needle bind off for the shoulders, attach the sleeves and crochet the edging and she will finally be DONE!

Bloomin' Feet DONE

Real quick post to say that I'm done with the Rock the Stars socks for my Bloomin' Feet Pal and here's the photo. More details to come with better shots. I'm intrigued to watch the new Drive show on Fox.

Bloomin' Feet Update and another FO

Have to say that I had a blast Saturday afternoon knitting with Christine again and meeting up with Alyson. How can you not when you get together with like-minded people and knit and squee when you see new yarn and new colorways! I even learned about the destash blog! (how did I not know about this...I usually troll ebay!)

Got a lot of knitting done this weekend...including the first Rock the Stars sock for my Bloomin' Feet 2 Pal! I'm hoping that next week this time there will be a totally completed pair! And then I can concentrate on the other goodies that will be going into the package.




And also completed the Karaoke Cable Scarf for E., but it still needs a good Soak! and then pinned out. She knows it is coming and at least it will be to Colorado faster than last year. It only used one skein of Velvet Grapes Malabrigo and so I'm thinking that a swap pal will be getting the other skein I purchased.
