Behind curtain number one October 24, 2006
The contest prize:
A skein of sock yarn dyed by me and a set of Kitchener stitch markers (may not be the exact ones pictured). Man those things are hard to photograph. So far the odds are pretty good… only a handful of entrants. Tell your friends!
*end of prize content*
And much more in the spirit of Socktober than ripping out socks, I finished a pair of socks!
Pattern: my own; toe up; short row heel; 3×1 rib
Yarn: Socks that rock mediumweight in Carbon.
i think…. i guess it could actually be carbon dating. i can’t remember and i lost the ball band immediately. probably when i first brought it home and started rolling around in the big pile of new yarn. i lOVE knitting in the medium weight. The socks knit up quickly, and i don’t mind that the socks are a little thick. it is actually very useful since most of my shoes are too big and i need big socks to keep them on. and i know this probably isn’t new information to you, but man that yarn is nice. I have been coveting the new haul over at januaryone. Go look at it. I mean, does it get any better than that?
I would have bought sock yarn in manly, fall-like colors. http://www.mindspring.com/~skiddoo/fiaflw/archive/2006_10_01_arch.html#116170478340469639
woo hoo… new camera in house… I should be able to figure it out tomorrow… take some pics, and get that blog post up by Friday! yeee haaaa…
(hey, what’s this… I can actually READ those security characters this time!!)
Love the socks, I really like the simple patterns like the one you did. It helps to show off the colors, and makes for an easy knit.
Pretty socks! Heh, looks like you’re getting more entrants today…
Nice socks. I’m looking for the perfect STR pattern for the STR in my Rhinebeck loot.
I noticed you’re a geologist, my husband and I are too. Well I mean I would be if I had a job. You know.
