The sock and the hat

The Sock

My first attempt at a toe up sock. I took a sock class and it could have been the needles (denise) or the yarn (takhi cotton classic) but I never really got the sock love. That is until now. So now I’m doing a generic toe up sock pattern (wendy’s) and loving it. Of course it could also be the lorna’s laces I’m using.

The Hat

Since I suck I have slacked on posting pics of that hat I made.  I do wish I had managed a more flattering picture but come on you are interested in the knitting not the state of my makeup. I really enjoyed the pattern. So without further ado I bring you Odessa.

Pattern: Odessa

Yarn: RYC Cashsoft DK color Poppy
Needle: Combination of denise and addi’s
Pattern Notes: Well it was going well until the top when I didn’t trust the pattern. So it has a few flaws but you can’t see them too much and there was no way I was going to frog it. I really enjoyed knitting this. It was fast, it kept my interest, the yarn was delicious. I’m going to make two more one for me and one for my cousin. I do plan on using beads on mine though.
