FO's for October

I made a hat out of bulk yarn, but something went wrong with the decreases and I have to frog it and do it over. Live and learn.

One pair of wool socks and 2/3 of a shawl (little shell stitch). Marie and the cats

Although it seems like I knit every day of the month (I think I really did) I only got 1 pair of socks made. They are the Snowflake socks from Magknits. They are for my mom and turned out great. I've started a pair of socks for my dad for his Christmas present, and when they are done, the knitting is all for ME! I will finally make myself a pair of socks and I ordered some alpaca to make myself the belted cardigan from the last Vogue Knits. Beyond that, I have a baby gift (as yet undetermined) that needs to be done before March, and who knows what else.

Happy crafting,

Hesira

I like those socks, Hesira. Did you really use needles that small with only 52 sts? And did they fit you?

Higs, Katherine

Hi Katherine,

I think the lace pattern makes the socks much looser than regular socks. I had to move down to size 1's US, because I started using size

2's and they were much too large. The only problem I see in the pair I made for Mom, is the snowflake pattern isn't as apparent as the one in the picture. I used Opal Uni instead of Lorna's Laces, and smaller needles, so maybe that's why. I still think they are pretty and they fit me pretty well. I'm small though, and maybe if someone had bigger calves than me, they might be tight. In that case the #2's would probably fix it. Here's a picture in my blog of me modeling them.
