I want to make these!

-
What do you think?  Over the knee socks - I'd better start knitting now to be ready for next winter....

 Rowan Fine Art premium hand painted yarn - coming soon!

I am SO excited, that I'm taking a class with Kate Atherley at the DKC Frolic this weekend on how to make two socks at the same time!  I think it might cure my one sock syndrome.

Do you have trouble knitting that second sock?

(While we are waiting, don't forget to enter the contest to win a copy of the "All Seasons Chunky Collection" - how to enter is on the post below.)

    I am addicted to knitting socks. If I was told I could only knit one kind of accessory for the rest of my life I would pick socks. But these? It would take someone with way more dedication to sock knitting than me to knit them. Good luck!

    I hate to admit that I have never made one sock!

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Happy New Year!  I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
