CDH Skew

I had a hankering to use one of my "Cold Dead Hands" skeins. I was gifted this skein of WD Suzanne as a Christmas swap. I scored! Thanks, I :)

I've been meaning to make Skew for a while but just never got around to it. I'm so happy with how the pattern turned out. I used 2.5mm instead of the recommended 2.25mm and the fit is amazing. No yanking over the heel for me but it's still snug. For some reason one leg is longer than the other. Weird considering the pattern is row by row.

I cannot believe this pattern is free. It must have been a trial to come up with it!!

Who me? Stripes?

Somehow I've gotten a reputation for being a stripes girl. I don't know why :) This formula of stripes worked out perfectly for my 10" length foot. So now I've worked out what works for me for a "vanilla" sock. I'm loving this FLK heel. It's easy to memorise and leaves no holes!

This one is using Frosch and Natur Wollmeise.

Ravello / Satsuma

Another sweater in the making. This time I wanted to make Ravello. I had the Satsuma pattern so I'm just going to use that but with the Ravello colours and stripes. Hopefully it works out.

Satsuma uses the new continguous method. I quite like it. A nice alternative to the usual raglan construction.

Colourblock update...

I'm almost done with my Colourblock. Just the 2nd sleeve and cowl to go. It's nice and oversized just the way I wanted it. Can't wait til it's finished.

Colourblock sweater

I saw this sweater on Pinterest and couldn't get it out of my mind so I cast on! I'm using an unusual top down method. Hopefully it'll work out. I'm halfway down the first sleeve now.

I finished my Angry Birds socks! They were a custom dye job by Stray Cats on Etsy. I love them. Just a simply top down vanilla sock with 64st. I used Fish Lips Kiss Heel for the first time. I quite like the look of it. No holes whatsoever. I'll use it again that's for sure.

Finished! These are a lovely sock. Again in Cascade Heritage. I reversed the cable on the 2nd/right sock. Although the last line in the pattern is not provided for reversing. So I had to fudge it. Love this one. Especially the length and softness. Hope they hold up well!
