project: Here and There Cables

yarn: Malabrigo - 2 hanks
color: Brown Berries
needles: #9 needles

Of course the yummy Malabrigo is lovely on the neck, so away it goes till next winter. But on to the socks!

project: Spindle Socks
source: My Fashionable Life
yarn: Sweet Georgia Speed Demon - 1 hank
color: Omakase 10
needles: #2 needles

Spring has sprung (believe me, my itchy eyes and nose are telling me so!) What can I say, a perfect colorway for the season, PS earth, and it complimented the pattern pretty well too.

I actually screwed up the cable pattern on the first sock. If you take a look at the progress pic in the last post, all my cables go the same way, instead of switching direction every group of 3. Of course I didn’t even realize until I started the second one and actually read the directions! Oh well, a little design element anyone?

And we’re on a roll, for now we move into the brown part of PS Earth:

project: 3×1 ribs
source: no pattern
yarn: Socks that Rock Mediumweight - 1 hank
color: Terra Firma
needles: #2 needles

Yes, I whipped these babies up too, thanks to the Mediumweight STR. My very first time knitting it up, and what a yarn! Love it.

Just a simple 3×1 rib pattern. I had wanted to knit Cookie’s BFF socks, but got terrible pooling down one side, so after just a couple of inches, RIP!

First on the needles, some yummy Spindle Socks (I’m back on my all-about-the-socks kick—BEWARE!)

How quickly these are going! I haven’t worked on sport/dk weight socks in quite a while, but I couldn’t resist me some aptly named Sweet Georgia Speed Demon. They may even be finished by my next post! (And promise, it won’t be a month from now)
