My newest socks


Thuja from Knitty. Well, sort of. Different yarn weight and needle size and number of stitches, but I did use the seed stitch rib, which I really like. The blur in the background is The Boy in Motion. Now that he's sleeping through the night every night, he's got a lot of extra energy, and is often a little blurry!

great sock!

Does the heat slow the boy down at all?

Doesn't seem to. Not much seems to slow him down!

Hey, nice socks. The blur in the background cracks me up.

Got your note on my blog re the spinning. I didn't take any classes, but the lady (can't remember her name) at Gaspereau Valley showed me the basics while I was there.

What seems to help me is to pre-draft the fibre. I basically divide the roving into strips so I have less bulk to draft while spinning. I also do the draft and park.

Bring your spinning next KOL! I don't know if I'll be much help but worth a try...
