Even though I finished this baby blanket several days ago, I've been patiently waiting for a sunny day to take a picture. It's still not the greatest. I have a hard time taking pictures of blankets :( This is my first official finished object of 2007!
I've also been working on my new knitting project. This is a picture of day three of my very first sock ever, not including Christmas stockings knit on two needles!
So far so good, as I'm using wool-ease and an easy pattern for my first pair of socks. Seems to be working out well...will let you know more in a few days or so. Then I'll have to broaden my horizons and try some other sock patterns. I have yarn for two more pairs of socks!happy knitting :)
oooh, your first sock! i have to start one of those soon. good luck finishing it up! : )
ReplyDeleteyour blanket is really pretty, too. are those cables or something different?
Yay!! I'm so proud of you starting your first pair of socks. They're looking great! The baby blanket is beautiful, too! I will post pics of mine soon - promise!
ReplyDeleteRen,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they are mock cables. You don't need a cable needle. I love this pattern stitch. I've seen socks made with a similar stitch...I think it was Nora's blog (black dog knits) I saw it on. That's my ultimate dream to make a pair like those...someday!
happy knitting :)
What a pretty blanket!
ReplyDeleteWe are having our first real winter weather here, too.
Beautiful yarn for the socks, and they look like they are coming around really well. Good luck!!! Socks were hard for me to master i tried about 5 times and gave up. About a year later i tried again and got it. I love the blanket too! The kiddo sitting on my lap was really pointing at the picture, with thumb in mouth! That must be a good sign!!!
ReplyDeletethe blanket looks lovely! wow, your first pair of socks. :) I like the colors you're using for your first sock. So many things to choose from when it comes to sock knitting! Let's see if you get as addicted to it as you are to dishcloths! ;)
ReplyDeletegreat first sock! the pattern is great.. ive made two pair, i'm on my 3rd.. they are fun..and ncie when your done. the wool ones will come in handy now that we have our FREEZING weather!
ReplyDeletegood luck with your socks. so far they look good! but then what do I know??
ReplyDeleteYour baby blanket is beautiful. And you sock looks great too. Be warned, as I am sure you already have been, sock knitting is addictive. We finally have seasonable temps here too. Still no snow though:(
ReplyDeleteWhat a great baby blanket!! I love the squares of cables. I will have to find that pattern!! You seem to be moving along quite quickly on your first sock!!! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is gorgeous!! I'll be starting mine shortly as soon as I decide what yarn Im going to use. Hurray for your first sock! It looks awesome!! You may soon have a new addiction with socks and sock yarn!!
ReplyDeletethe blankets are super!! AND SOCKS!! Great job! They look really good. I love mine!
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is gorgeous! Lucky baby that gets to snuggle in that! Great job on the socks, too!
ReplyDeleteThe baby blanket came out beautiful! The socks look great! I knit my first pair of socks in Wool-Ease,too. I'm using some now for a scarf (rose heater) pour moi. Careful, though...that sock knitting can be addictive. Just stay away from the german sock yarn to be safe:)

ReplyDeleteYou'll get the sock bug, be careful! ;o)
