Feels like a little while since I have chatted with you all. Been battling serious case of the crud, so in honor of feeling human again, I thought I would post. What better way then to share a a project off the needles right?
Nothing like stripes to make me feel good!
- Pattern: Usual Vanilla pattern. 64 stitches, short row heel and classic toe.
- Yarn: Desert Vista Custom Dyeworks in the color Grunge
- Needles: Size 1 (2.25 mm)
In other knitting news, I finished the secret gift knitting project. Once it is in the mail I will post a picture. So despite feeling like death (drama), there has been knitting happening. Another thing I wanted to mention is my friend Sam has this project going on. I am participating and so far have three squares under my belt.
I am off to catch up on my favorite blogs. I hope you all had a wonderful Thankgiving! I hope I never fail to mention how thankful I am for all of you. I appreciate you stopping by and visiting with me.
XO
Andi

I'm sorry to hear you've been unwell. Get well soon! Your new stripy socks looked like just the thing to do, and I love the little lace swatches. Oddly, they're just like the stitch pattern for two projects I have swimming in my head right now..!

I'm so sorry to hear about the ickyness, I really hope that you recover very soon. I'm glad to hear that you have been taking it easy while knitting away. I agree with other reviewers that the colors you picked out for those socks are so great together. Also, that charity project sounds like it could be very fun! How nice you are to take part. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

You can't feel too bad since you've managed to get perfectly matched stripes on your socks. Nothing is happier for a knitter than perfectly matched stripes. I do hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Hope that's on the way out.
The socks are fantastic. Love those colours together.
And the squares are wonderful. Big hugs to you. I'm thankful for your friendship and support. Xxx

I have to agree, there is something particularly satisfying about a stripy sock :D
Hope you're feeling completely better now x
