I’ve officially completed my very first sock. I’m using the sock pattern in The Purl Stitch and it was very easy to follow. My heel came out a little big for my foot, and the cuff is a little wide, but overall the sock fits pretty well. I like it. Can’t wait to start sock #2. The toe was tough, with so little stitches left on the needle, but I managed and I’m very proud of my accomplishment. Now I look forward to working on the matching sock.
Here’s the blanket I’ve been working on. It’s my way of starting early. As my MIL said, it is for my Hope Chest. :) It’s an easy pattern and I love the way it’s coming out. It’s my mindless project, because I don’t really have to pay too much attention to detail when I work on it. I’m almost out of yarn and I went out today to get some more. I thought I’d have enough, but apparently not. Of course, I couldn’t find any of the variagated yarn. I found white, but with it alone, I can’t finish, so I’m going tomorrow to Hobby Lobby to see if they have any. I will be very disappointed if I can’t find any more yarn to finish this project.
This is the beautiful Pronto yarn that I will use to make mom’s sweater (Blanche from Berroco website). It sure got here quick, thanks to Priority Mail. :) It’s so pretty and soft, I really need to hurry up and finish something, so I can start working with this yarn. I know it’s going to work up quick. I’ve finally gotten some pictures of my all my progress, so I’ll be posting them over the next couple of days. I’m going to run out of yarn on the baby blanket I’m working on, so this weekend I’ll need to run to the store and get some more. The winder doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped but I think it may have to do with the yarn. So I’m going to try again with a different yarn.
