Finished

I finished the second white sock to the pair...had problems with this one?? Froggy several times...rip it...rip it!!

They turned out ok, I believe if I used a thinner yarn they would have turned out better.

Starting on my younger dd's white heart sock. I'm using a smaller needle, about two sizes smaller and casting on 48 instead of 64 so it should be smaller.

Abby's Heart Socks

Here are the heart socks. I used a sports weight which is a little

thicker/heaverier than what was recommended.

I also used a size #3 needle instead of a #0 -1

The sock was just a bit loose and a little too

long, maybe about an inch, which is no biggy

because my dd is just 10 years old and will

no doubt grow into it before long.

It's nice and soft, thick and warm.

I'll be making my younger dd a pair but she is

much smaller in frame so I'll use my #1 needles.

I would like to find a finer yarn but I live in a small

town and the stores don't carry a great section.

So, we'll see.

A Pair of Heart Socks

This is a pair of sock I'm going to attempt to knit for the month of November.

Each month I would like to knit at least one pair of socks with a least

one new stitch in them that I have never used.

In this pattern I'll be doing a (this is all one counted as one stitch in the pattern)

Sl1 (slip one stitch)

K2tog (knit 2 stitches together as one)

PSSO (pass slip stitch over *in this case the K2tog just knitted)

To someone who has never knitted or to the novice

this seem very confusing and difficult but

once tried it is rather simple.

If you would like the pattern it's a free

download, just click on the picture

above and it will open up to

a pdf.

Thanks to Donna Pye for sharing her

patterns with Ravely a knitting

community that I'm a member of.

Here are a couple of more stitches that might be new to you.
