Here is the progress so far on my SIL’s socks This is another pair of the Soft Pretzel socks of earlier post fame. They are definitely moving along pretty quickly. My SIL has basically the same foot measurements as me, so all the math is done from the last time. Only a few more inches… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Soft Pretzel socks are done! The pattern on the top of the foot and the front of the leg is just the soft pretzel cable motif. The back of the leg has two columns of soft pretzel cables and some other conventional cabling. The two stitch cables from the fancy gussets continue up the back… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday*
Making good progress on my Soft Pretzel socks! I am halfway done with the leg part, so 3 more inches of pattern knitting, then 12 rows of ribbing, and done! Shortly after I finish these, I am going to do a pair for my SIL (brother’s wife) as well. Mom ordered a kit for her… Continue reading Sock Progress
And just another song title! But it pretty much was. I’m moving along OK on the socks, but there’s nothing startling happening there.

I tried them on again this evening, and they are fitting really beautifully! Here is a kind of blurry shot of… Continue reading Back to the Socks
*Let me start by saying I stole this post title from mildlygranola, who is on the record as saying she would like Sock It To Me Monday to be a thing. 🙂 Anyway – sock progress! I got the math part done OK (I think) and have started the gussets. Not only are there gussets,… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday*
The Soft Pretzel socks are moving right along! I did try them on a little while ago, and they are fitting so far. I’m a little way up the feet, and now is the time the pattern wants me to stop and do some math. At this point I’ve done enough knitting that the soles… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
Having gotten two projects done, it was time to start two new ones! This morning I got a bit of a start on the next Dolores-related project – Harry Bollasockyarn! Harry is a recent kit from Webs, for anyone who would like to knit their own ball of yarn stuffed toy. I haven’t gotten too… Continue reading Next Two Projects
