"Q" is for "Quill"

"Q" is for "Quill"


These dainty, pretty socks are a Christmas gift for a young lady who is the daughter of co-workers.  She is sweet and my children enjoy spending time with her.  Her mother is a knitter, so I know the time and effort gone into making these will be understood!  I'm sure, by now, you're not surprised to know that this is a FREE PATTERN!  Here is the link to it.

"P" is for "Presto"

"P" is for "Presto"


I knew I was in trouble when I came down the stairs this morning to see my hubby trying on the newly completed socks I had left on the coffee table (not for him). They stayed on, all day. I reminded him that he has told me numerous times that he didn’t want me to knit him socks. His response? “But these are a PERFECT fit, and feel so wonderful!” I think, after 14 years of seeing me wear knitted socks, he’s finally been converted!!


So, they have been adopted - not their intended owner, but that's just fine!  I'm happy they are going to be loved.  Here is the FREE PATTERN.

"O" is for "Overkill"

"O" is for "Overkill"


These socks, a FREE PATTERN, were a lot of fun to knit!  I have a friend from India who always seems to be larger then life, or over-the-top, and these seemed to be perfect for her Christmas gift!  I haven't used the crazy colours that are used in the example, but they are still pretty funky!  (I'm sorry the photo didn't turn out very well to show them off)
