Red Hot Sizzling Sock progress


Ok - I've started the sock knit-along, but I'm not sure about the sock. It's a pattern from a Koigu book that has about 7 patterns in it. I'm doing the pattern Pop Socks. It has a moss stitch pattern, but I'm not really sure about the guage. I feel like the leg of the sock is way to big. I tried it on and it fits fine, but I have to do the pattern for 6 inches and I'm afraid that if it stays this big for 6 inches it will be WAY too big. I guess I'll knit on and see.

Sad news today - the Gourmet Yarn knitting retreat is cancelled - not enough people signed up. :( I guess I'll have to treat myself anyway. I've been thinking about signing up for this. It sounds like fun and I would love to try out more sock patterns. Anyone else interested?

Finally, the snow has melted and it's warm enough for Jezabell to go outside and STAY outside. She goes nuts when she has to stay inside - as do I. :) Now the only problem is: muddy paws!

Got some scapbooking done on Monday. I actually finished about 5 pages. It's so nice to finish a page and put it into the book. A nice sense of accomplishment. I'm not caught up by any means, but every page gets me a step closer.

Not much else going on here. I did notice this today. There are two different sprouts coming up. I think they're a little confused and I hope it doesn't freeze again and kill them. I love tulips - they're my favorite. I can't wait to see them in all of their colorful glory! :)

'Til next time - happy knitting to everyone!

  • Jen, congrats on your first pair of socks! They look great. I've yet to venture there...Someday. And the cake...was it as yummy as it looked? With last weekend's freeze I was worried about my daff's surviving...they had budded but not blomed. Thankfully they're beautifully blooming now. Can you believe the change in the weather!!
