Husband Socks: Take Two

Posted on by

I put my first husband sock aside and started #2! Thanks to some recent windshield time and a date to the Avengers: Age of Ulton with my husband I’ve made some progress!

  
I worked this far up to lunch yesterday! Only a bit of 2×2 rib and bind off to go!  Tonight after Jellybean went to bed I finished! The husband even modeled them (sort of). Dex of course was not to be left out! The socks fit much better but still loose at the top. Good enough for now but the next pair shall need some tweaking. And now of course, back to the first sock…

A Geeky Projection

I’ve overcome my chart reading errors and cruising right along on my Geek Socks!  

I knit the foot, inserted afterthought lifeline, knit the leg, and finally knit the afterthought heel! These colors and pattern are seriously addictive. I keep knitting “just one more stripe” and losing some sleep in the process, lol.

  
I need to finish the leg and knit a cuff. Now just to see how it fits…This sock is a 72 stitch sock when I normally like 68 stitches. But I think the extra stitches really help me have a little forgiveness with my floats. This really is my first time with floats, sssshhh don’t tell anyone!

Happy Knitting!

FO Friday: A Camo Tutu

Posted on by

I whipped up a real quick FO this week. One of my FAVORITE baby patterns and go-to shower presents is the Knit Tutu from Smashlee Stitches.

  
This is Red Heart sashay yarn in Conga and a teensy bit of leftover Knit Picks Swish Worsted for the waist band. Topped it all off with a bit of remnant gold ribbon. I finished this up in a day and all my details are here. I’ve literally  made over a dozen of these and highly recommend the pattern as it’s very easy to follow.

Now I’m off to get this in the mail and winging on the way to the new momma to be! They are HUGE outdoors people and I figure the little princess they are adding to the family deserves her own tutu….in camo of course!

Happy Knitting!!
