Pride Sock

My current purse knitting is accidently on brand with Pride and the month of June. I got a lot of comments on it this past weekend at PB’s gymnastics practice. I am really cruising through the second send of rainbow stripes!

I am calling these my 2023 GFOA socks as I started them at a conference but the name may have to change. They are my comfort knitting of late as my life got very stressful very suddenly. I am finding peace is watching the rainbow materialize.

The tube is getting very very long. To keep them wearable I don’t think I can do the full second rainbow repeat as they will be too tall and too tight on my calves. I am adding decreases to account for width and I’m just playing it by ear as I visually see the sock.

Meanwhile Jellybean and I are off to some Juneteenth celebrations and festivities! Happy Knitting!!

Conference Knitting 2022

I recently found myself at my annual fall conference for my state professional agency. I was a lot busier at this conference than previous years but I did sneak in some sock knitting. I have the second Victorian Mauve Sock not only started but well into the foot.

I need to measure and/or count my rows to see if I am ready to start the heel increases. It would be peachy if both socks were generally the same size, lol!

Happy Sock Knitting!!

Hospital Knitting

Knitting can make a lot of situations better. My father had a routine medical procedure that necessitated some waiting room and hospital room knitting. I thought it would be a nice pairing to work on his Christmas Socks.

I am about to finish the leg and start the cuff ribbing. I pressed my hoodie pocket into service as a skein minder. I got a few looks in the waiting room but it kept my work tidy, lol.

Happy Knitting!!
