On the Needles Friday

 

We had gone camping this week - left on Sunday and came back today.  I had some good knitting time the first part of the week - it rained all Monday and Tuesday.  I was able to finish my Shur'tugal socks, almost I still need to graft the toes.  I did not have my instructions for the Kitchner stitch and I didn't feel like looking it up on the iphone nor reading it off of that small screen so I left it until we got home.

 

 

Being prepared I brought along yarn for my Skyp Rib Socks in Knit Picks Stroll in Make Believe and Duchess.  I finished the leg portion and have now started on sock #1 heel flap.

 

 

Today my bonus yarn came for Camp Loopy.  The color I choose was Watering Hole.  Not sure what I will use it for - the colors are wonderful and needs to shown off.

 

 

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

On the Needles Friday

Making progress on my Shur'tugal socks.  I finished the leg portion last night and started the heel turn this morning.  I always have a hard time deciding how long to make the leg portion - these I knit 7 inches but I think most of the time I do 6 inches.

 

 

Yesterday my Knit Picks order arrived.  I think the purple with the green/purple hand-painted yarn will be next - I think I will use the Skyp pattern.  Or the brown and blue tonals using the

Slipped Striped Socks pattern.

 

 

My Opal yarn arrived yesterday too!  So I'm all set for Socktoberfest which I plan on knitting 2 pairs of sock, don't think I can do 3 pair in a month.
