New Socks!

Posted on by JessaLu

I finally finished the pair of travel socks I’ve been working on for the past 2ish years! I even had them while on our honeymoon in Niagara Falls – see:

and now they’re done!

Travel socks are finished! 2 years in the making ;) #knitting #SITTM

Project Details:

Pattern Name: No name, just toe-up socks with a short-row heel

Yarn: Handspun by me – it started as Spunky Eclectic fiber. Rolling Hills colorway, I think? Possibly BFL?

Needle Size: Size 1 Knitpicks Circs

Time Knit: Started in 2010, finished October 14, 2012

I’ll be wearing these at Rhinebeck along with my Effortless! (uh oh I need photos of that, too)

Aestlight Shawl

…and that makes me *very* happy.

Aeslight Finished

This shawl is all garter stitch – I never thought I’d actually miss purling.

Hopefully, we’ll have a couple more days if chilly weather so I can wear it at least once before putting it away until the Fall.

What’s up next?  Bags.  Bags, bags and more bags.  I feel like the guy on the Dunkin Donuts commercials, I keep wandering in and out of the sewing room muttering, “it’s time to make the baaaags.”

Why all the crazy sewing and muttering?  I’m vending on Saturday, here, along with a bunch of my friends who make fibery stuff (Tina has a list here).  If you are within driving distance, maybe you’ll stop by?  It’s a wonderful show, right on the Hudson with gorgeous views of the river.

If you do stop by, please say hello!  I love to meet blog readers in person – and please tell me who you are because I’m kind of an idiot when it comes to putting faces to names.  ;o)

Okay, time to make the bags!
