It all started with a trip to my local yarn shop to get some reinforcing thread for socks. There was this book about making two socks at a time on circular needles...so I bought it along with two pairs of circular needles. Then home to try to make it work. It didn't. So I set things aside for about six months and one day I am sorting through things to sell and I come across the book again. And the sock patterns are so lovely I figure at least I can do them on double-points if all else fails...but why not try the old circular needles again? And this time it worked. At least to the point where the heels are turned. Then I still run into a quandry about adding stitches...but once I am past that stage and have decreased I go back to the circulars. I figure eventually I'll get the middle section right as well.
Here are finished socks that fit me perfectly made from my favorite yarn of the season "First Snow". I am a size 7-1/2. The socks are for sale for $25.00. They are handspun Shetland/dyed Merino/Tencel.
And just before Christmas I made two pairs of tot socks. The pair on the left is made from leftovers fromother projects. Pair on the right is "Diva" Shetland yarn. They are for sale for $15.00 each.
This is Tennyson roving being spun up into singles. The singles were then plied with some unbleached silk/Merino roving I had purchased for the following yarn. It is for sale for $4.50 an ounce and is heavier worsted weight.
The below is Shetland lamb blended with cashmere. It is $5.00 an ounce and I only have the two balls.
Medium adult spiral knit mittens from Shetland wool "Nissa"...$24.00.
