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.
I love to knit! I knit to relax, so my patterns are primarily simple, easy knits. I do much of my knitting in the car while I travel or while I'm waiting. I love that I can use my idle moments to create something both useful and beautiful! (working with my hands, as directed in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

"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".
