"H" is for "Hearts Abound"

I started on my "H" socks tonight - I'm following the "Hearts Abound" pattern from Knit Picks (yup, another free pattern!)  It is a toe-up sock, so a little different in construction then the patterns I usually use, but it's always good to learn something new, right?  I've really enjoyed making them, and I think I'll use this construction again in the future.  These are a Christmas gift for a friend of mine from Canada who also lives in the UK.

"G" is for "Girlie Anklet Socks"

"G" is for "Girlie Anklet Socks"!


They have turned out very well, and I think my wee lady R will be pleased with them as a Christmas gift this year - they are very girly!  I did make them a little on the big side so that they will fit her for a while - nothing more discouraging then working hard on a project, only to realize that they will only fit their recipient for a week!  Here is a link to the FREE PATTERN!

"F" is for "Froot Loop"

My "F" pattern is "Froot Loop" - it's a free pattern!  I've been eyeing this one for a while, I love the way it looks - pretty, but subtle.  I've chosen a solid purple colour...   These are for my niece "C".
