Here are a pair of Sock's I created for my neice, they knitted up very quick as they only had 24 stitches around on 4mm needles. I used a yarn called Palette Series 034/219, each sock weighs about 30grms and should fit a childs size 11 shoe.
The yarn is 51% wool 49% acrylic, each ball contains approx 60m.
Another photo from Xmas Knitting, my daughters leg warmers in Sweet Violet from The Natural Dye Studio, they do reach from her knees to her ankles, but she likes to 'slouch' them.
These are my latest socks, they are Monkey by Cookie from www.knitty.com I am using the January 2007 Sock Club wool from the Yarn Yard. I have ripped back the last inch where I tried to decrease for the ankle and the pattern changed too severely.
I finally finished some of my Xmas knitting, my daughters socks in Rose Mist by the Natural Dye Studio at www.thenaturaldyestudio.com using a smock pattern
I live in England, UK. I have been knitting since I was about 6 or 7, I remember making a pair of gloves and dolls clothes. I made loads of socks as a teenager. My first large project was an aran jumper for my boyfriend and then a crochet blanket which was an enormous granny square done during my A levels which I took to University. I also spin occasionally and belong to the WSD Guild. I have also cross stitched, sewed and quilted at different stages in my life.
