Summer Spumoni socks

Well this summer seems to be flying by fast. Before you know it Labor Day will be here. WOW. This week I am on vacation so it is my time to work on projects and even finish a few. I had hoped I would start some more Christmas gift ideas but I haven't. Oops.

these are the socks from 2009

Now it is time to show off a pair of socks. This is my Spumoni stripe socks. The yarn is Paton's Stretch sock. I had done a pair before back in 2009. These socks are one of my favorite socks because they are so different and comfy. So I was in Michaels on a Sunday and saw this yarn. I thought I wanted it because the yarn was so new and cool looking. I am very happy with how they turned out and I do have some yarn leftover. I am not sure what I will do with the yarn. I might make a toy with it or something. Now on to the picture

Something totally different

When I first started knitting the dishcloth was my friend. Once I got into scarves and socks the dishcloth was left in the dust. This week I was on Ravelry and found a very cool dishcloth called hole-less. This is a mitered square without the holes. I liked the pattern so much that I did some stash diving and made it. I am really happy with it because it seems that the Sugar and Cream stripe yarns really do the dishcloth right. I am likely gonna do one again and will likely give them away for Christmas gifts. I know Christmas now? But my list is semi long with family and a few dear friends. Oh well at any rate here is the picture

New blog

I have been looking at other sites but blogger is easier. So stay tuned to see what I have been working on. Also you may post a comment to  my blog but they will have to be approved before they show up. My blog my rules.
