"Z" is for "Zig Zag"

"Z" is for "Zig Zag"


My last and final pair of socks for the Alphabet sock challenge is complete!  Zig Zag is a free pattern, and I have made this last pair for myself, as well.  I am quite pleased with how they've turned out, and the Zig Zags are very easily seen!  The yarn I've used was brought back for me from Nova Scotia a few years ago when he went out to visit (without the family)  I love the soft colours.

I am so pleased with this challenge!  I have used much of my "stashed" sock yarn, and was able to use ALL free patterns, thanks to Ravelry's pattern database.  It has been a blast to follow along with everyone else's progress, too!  I think, however, for my next challenge, that I'll need to do something to use up the scraps...  A bookmark per letter, perhaps, or a blanket with all the scraps?  hummmm....... I must get thinking!

"Y" is for "Yarmando"

"Y" is for "Yarmando"


I have made 24 pairs of socks to give away as Christmas gifts.  I have actually accomplished more then I expected to!  I am so pleased with the gifts, and I hope most of the recipients are happy with them, too.  In celebration of this gigantic "Feet" of accomplishment, I have chosen to make pair 25 for myself.  This yarn I have had for quite some time, and have been saving it for a cozy pair of socks for myself.  This seems like the perfect time to use it. 


Yarmando is a free pattern, and these socks are SO warm and fuzzy!  I love them!!

"X" is for "Eyelet Rib" (Wildcard)

"X" is for "Eyelet Rib"
Yes, I KNOW that Eyelet Rib doesn't start with "X", but, failing to create my own pattern, I'm having trouble finding a free "X" pattern that will suit for my friend!  The challenge includes two wildcards, for just such problems, so I'm using my first one on my "X" socks.


This Free Pattern sock set is for our babysitter!  Warm and cozy for winter nights, I hope she likes them!  I know she'll be happy with the colour.
