Clapotis

This pattern is "Clapotis" from knitty.com by Kate Gilbert. The yarn is Koigu Kersti color K729. I used size US6 (4mm) needles and followed the pattern exactly apart from adding 3 extra straight rows to ensure I'd use up all 6 skeins of yarn. For now I'm not going to block this scarf. I like how the ladders puff up. It is super cozy.

Cyber Flirt Socks in best color

Cyber Flirt Socks in best color, originally uploaded by Beatrixknits.

These are the Cyber Flirt Socks designed by Mary McCall in the book The Joy of Sox by Linda Kopp. They were made with Malabrigo Kettle Dyed Pure Merino Wool, worsted weight, in Buscando azul color 186. This is extremely soft yarn..is like butter! It is lovely to work with. I'm intending these socks to be more like slippers since they're too thick to fit in shoes and pure merino might not be very durable. Made with US3/3.25mm needles and US9/5.5mm to bind off.

I added a safety pin to the back to make it wearable. The red sharpie pen is just there for scale and color.

These socks are made according to the Chick Flick pattern from Joy of Sox book. According to the author, the pattern is a lily flower. The yarn's color is called Logwood. It is a periwinkle blend. It is squishy Madelinetosh sock yarn. I would definitely buy this yarn again. It is lovely. I knit these socks according to the directions on size US2 needles.

Made with Plymouth Sockotta Bold Stripe Effect no. 5612. 76 sts CO size US1 DPNs. Short row heel and star toe from Sensational Knitted Socks book. The stripes are pretty but this isn't my favorite sock yarn. It is too stiff.
