Today I delivered the preemie gown that I mentioned here and here. Then after dinner I sat down and picked up my knitting. It seems like I only knit in the cooler months. I'm not sure why that is. But come October I am ready for some knitting.
Currently I am working on a sock. Socks take me quite awhile to finish because I tend to do a little here and a little there. This sock is knit from the cuff to the toe using five double-pointed needles. I use a pattern by Fiber Trends called "Hellen's Favorite Socks." I've used this pattern for years and I have found it very reliable and the fit is perfect for me (and my feet)!
The first time I made this pattern I used wool sock yarn. I blogged about them here. They keep my feet so very warm that I only get to wear them a few times a year. That's kind of funny to me!!! This navy blue sock weight yarn is called "Comfort Sock" by Berroco. It is 50% super fine nylon and 50% super fine acrylic. I prefer natural fibers but thought I would give this yarn a try because it is so soft!
What have you created this week? I find it so very relaxing to create with my hands!!!
xoxo!
