Fordham Socks

Fordham Socks by Beatrixknits

These socks were made using the "Comfy DK Socks" pattern by Handwerks. I used all left over sock yarn doubled up. I changed colors every other 10 rows. Yarns include: ShiBui Sock, Lorna's Laces, Berroco Sox Metallic, Madelinetosh, Knitpicks, Froehlich Woole, Schaefer Anne, Jaeger Matchmaker, and Koigu KPPPM!!! All the colors I used have shades of purple in them. I used 3.5mm/US4 DPNs with 48 sts CO. Socks are thick and squishy. I learned on second sock to weave in ends as I went along to save time.

I found this adorable pink Needlepoint Belt with black dogs at the LL Bean outlet. I've always wanted to make a needlepoint belt and doubt that I could find a kit this cute!

Hanna Andersson Metallic Clogs

I love wearing clogs with my handmade socks. These clogs are Pewter Metallic from the Hanna Andersson catalog. The socks are Lotus Socks from Joy of Sox book made with Berroco Sox Metallic.
