Big People Socks

I did it! I finished my first pair of big people socks. I made baby socks to learn the process. Then I made worsted weight house socks to improve the process and make an adult sized sock with thicker yarn that wouldn't take five years to knit. Now, I've completed my first pair of adult sized socks made with sock yarn. Yay me!

Here they are . . .

The second sock went much faster than the first. Thankfully I did not experience Second Sock Syndrome. I just kept plugging away. I get a lot more knitting done when I stay off the computer, lol!

Time to move on to something quick and easy. But that can wait until tomorrow. Enough knitting for today. I also bought some fabric today to make something.

I'm going to make my daughter a purse, and I'm winging it. No pattern. We just drew it up and I did the measurements and hopefully it will turn out and she will love it!

One Down, One to Go

I finished my first sock using sock yarn! A real sock! I'm very proud of myself. So I immediately cast on for the second sock so I don't get Second Sock Syndrome. Here is the finished first sock.

I really love the colors of this yarn. I can't get a good enough picture of the colors. I love how it's striping too.

So to reward myself for finishing one sock I bought some more cotton. I'm addicted to it. I got Sugar & Cream Stripes.

Once I finished the socks I'm making some little things, some dishcloths and cupcakes, stuff I can get done quickly. And then I'll probably make another pair of socks, different pattern, and use that beautiful yarn I posted a few days ago.

I had to go to Target today to buy some household items. While there I found this little scrubbie. OMG, I had to have it! It's so cute! It reminds me of a sock monkey. So for 99 cents I bought some happiness. I don't know if I'll use it, it's too cute, but if I set it on my sink it will make me smile when I look at it.

I hope you're staying cool wherever you are. It's hot as hell here and we have a severe thunderstorm watch until 10:00 p.m.
