SOCKS!

I'll start by saying that I found myself sitting at two nights of cheer leading practice and one night of Boy Scouts this week...soooo...I had plenty of time to "yarn" while I waited.

My first pair of socks is finished. I chose a pattern called Toes Up Socks by South Bay Crochet. The pattern was very easy to follow. The heel decrease/increase was very easy. Overall, these were very easy socks to make. Here they are, don't they look very easy?
The only pattern deviation I made was that I added a front post/back post double crochet cuff.

As I previously mentioned, I used Juniper Moon Farm Sock yarn in the colorway named Daisy Fay & The Miracle Man made of 80% Super Wash Wool and 20% Nylon. I had 420 yards of sock yarn and have a good bit left over. I'm hoping I have enough yarn left over to make Jalen a pair of ankle socks.

Now that I have my first pair of socks under my belt, I will be searching for a pattern with a little more difficulty. I'm all about the socks right now! So much so, that I bought a set of sock blockers and some more sock yarn online. Oh, and a pattern book with a pretty sock pattern in it.

Other than working on the socks, I have been busy adding some of my finished projects to my Ravelry profile this week. This takes a little bit of work. Finding the correct pattern name, finding a corresponding picture, remembering what size hook I used, remembering what yarn I used, figuring out what size I made, etc.

So, what am I going to work on next? Well, I really should force myself to finish my kids' afghans. Not that they need them NOW, but in a few months they will and I will be nagged to death by Miss Jalen if hers isn't finished by the time she needs an extra blanket on her bed.
