Hey there currently working on another Qainer test knit for fairy wing cuff down socks...slightly harder pattern, but very fun.  I am half way done with the second repeat of the pattern in this sock after having to frog it for missing a cable.  Started yesterday and made it this far by today.  Here is a picture.

Finished the Apple Blossom Test

I finished the Apple Blossom test knit last night and am currently blocking...very pretty socks, easy lace pattern and the cabled heel is beautiful.  Here's the picture

Comparison Time

Something that I noticed...on the foot of the sock that I am currently knitting there is no ribbing but is 4 stitches smaller in the round than that of the one with ribbing.  Here is some pictures.

Since 8/18/12 I have been test knitting the HiyaHiya Apple Blossom sock pattern.  Had to frog it due to a dropped/lost stitch on 8/20, and I am now currently on the heel flap which is different from what I have done before, but is beautiful.  Will post pics soon.

finished the ridge back socks...excellent pattern very easy to read.

I made the sock blockers myself, they maybe a little small but they seem to work ok.

Hi,

Since 7/20/12 I have been test knitting Ridgeback socks for electrogirl on Raverly.  The pattern is very well written and I am enjoying knitting it.  I have just finished the gusset.  On to the foot (or in this case feet) will post the pictures when I am done.

on my socks, I had to frog them about a week and a half ago due to bugs being found in the area where I was knitting at...I had to loose my entire stash of yarn, and waited about a week before starting a new project (pictured) it is in the raverly test pool under checkboard baby blanket.  My camera works again...does happy dance.

6/7/12

I have been working on the Tara toe up sock pattern for about a week now, and found out I dropped a stitch that fell all the way to the heel.  I couldn't pick it back up no matter how I tried, so I ended up pulling the entire sock and recasting on now doing two at a time (taat).  This is my first blog and knitting is my current hobby other than reading so I will post pictures soon. 

Oh and I also read on another blog, sorry I dont remember who's it was lost my entire computer due to some malware and had to reload but she said that she did the toes first than put them both on one needle...I found that if you use Judy's magic cast on you can do both at once without having to change needles.
