Wip!

Dancing Bamboo sock by Holly Daymude from the book Pints & Purls...

I've made these twice before. I love them.
I'm making these in a dk weight on a size 3 needle.
The original pattern calls for fingering and a size 1.
All I did was adjust the stitch pattern from 64 stitches to 48 and it all works.
These are dense, squishy, and lovely. I can't wait to slap them on my feet!

Oh Thank you for the number of stitches and the needles for DK, I need that and now I can be a lazy slug and just follow your lead. Love the color.

do you have the book with the pattern in it? There are a lot of really great patterns in there.

No, I don't but I do have an old book somewhere and being excessively lazy about it didn't feel like looking. The book you mentioned sounds interesting though. I will go to Amazon to check it out. I remember seeing it somewhere in a bookstore and thought it was really cute, but at the time was doing other things. I used the DK weight to make fishing and bed slipper socks, one Christmas. This morning I found the fishing socks so I can use it for the pattern, just the needle size I was missing, so I appreciated it so much.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
