Two Finished Socks

I finished Natalie's second slipper sock.

She seemed to like them.

Instead of the same pattern as the first sock, this one was a simple K2, P2.

Tulip Sock Revisited

Since I ripped out my first attempt at this sock,
I now present my second attempt.

This one was made on a 34 peg FG loom with
two strands of sock weight cotton blend yarn.

I messed up the bottom in two places, can you see?

The sock ended up way to thick to be worn in a shoe, but I think my daughter will like them as slipper socks when it gets cooler.

Tulip Sock for Natalie

I'm making a sock for Natalie.

After trying on the sock, I realized it was too long.

About an inch too long.

So I had to take it off the loom and rip some of it out.

The sock is a little too big. Good thing kids grow.

Doesn't the bottom look good. The toe seam is underneath too.

I'm not sure that it looks like the pattern.

But I like the colors anyway.

My First Sock for Me

This sock is the first thing I have ever made for myself.

Looks like the sock fits pretty good.
The sock looks good with my jeans too.

Bailey wanted me to take a picture of her foot next to mine.

Current Skirt Progess

The smaller skirt is about half done.

The larger skirt is only about a quarter done.

Pleated Skirts in Progess

This skirt is being made with one strand of cotton yarn
on a fine gauge loom for my three year old.

on a yellow Knifty Knitter loom for my seven year old.

A Pair of Socks

I ran out of yarn, so the second sock is a little shorter than the first one.

See the hearts?

Sock for Bailey

It looks like the sock I made for Bailey is too long. See the blue triangle just above her heel? That should be on her heel, not above it. I'll have to rip out some of the foot length and redo the toe portion. Ack! That's what I get for not using a pattern. Now I know that this yarn is stretcher than the other yarn I made socks with for Bailey.
Here's a picture of the sock after I ripped out some of the foot and redid the toe. It fits much better now. Now to finish the other one.

Fingerless mittens for Natalie

Taylor (11) was one of my hand models tonight. Here she is wearing one of the fingerless mittens that I made for Rachel (14). I made them using my fine gauge adult size sock loom.

Natalie (3) wanted to try on all the different mittens too.

Fingerless mittens for Bailey

Doesn't Bailey Look Excited?

Bailey loved her new fingerless mitten so much she wore it to bed. She was sad when I told her that it would take me until Saturday to finish the other one.
