The same Waffle sock after TWO machine washings and ONE drying, all contrary to yarn-label directions.  :-(  A sock tragedy!

Two Color Newborn               Socks

Pattern from www.socknitters.com Gauge was 8 st. on 1 " needles; my guage on these needles was 9.5, so the socks are somewhat smaller, which I wanted.  Darling pattern, but when I make the next pair, I won't make the mistake of continuting the ribbing until the white decorative line!

Summer Socks:  Little Flowers

Tennis socks made in Regia Cotton on size 1 needles.  I substituted the Eye of Partridge Heel, which I like for a woman's sock.  This is a pattern called "Little Flowers" from Rebecca Aldrich Bowen. I followed the directions, and THEY FIT!!!  What a concept!

Gary's Ski Socks

Glen's Ski Socks

Standard sock pattern for both pairs Woolease regular weight on size 4 needles. Made a nice firm fabric. Heel stitch  continued in the heel area until the gusset was fully decreased.  Glen's sock 21 inches to heel.

Baba's Bed Socks

Done in two srands of Woolease (two balls are sufficient) Very nice and quick for house slippers.  Pattern can be found at : www.geocities.com/Paris/9197/babassocks.htm

Jackie's Errant Ankles Lace Socks         (Jackie's Cybersocks Class at www.socknitters.com)       I love the pattern, especially as it continues down the heel flap and over the top of the foot. The Swirl toe was also new to me, and I like it much better than the standard one I had been doing.      Despite a major mistake in reading the pattern  (at least I made the mistake consistently!) it was a fun pattern, and I learned a lot from it.       6 Ply Socka on size 4 needles

First Opal Socks Mock cable in a short cuff, although the pattern is hard to see.  Color was ok, but a little disappointing since there were no stripes.  I liked the pooling of colors at the foot.  Sock was comfy though.

Kit Zerbe's Dimpled Sock Lovely pattern; fun to knit.  The Eye of Patridge heel goes nicely with the pattern, I think.  The yarn was Jagger Spun Highland Heather; Color:  Maize

My first handspun socks Merino wool.  One skein of yarn was slightly thicker than the other, so I had to adjust the pattern as I went.

Regia Sock done on 1 needles. I wanted to try a K5, P2 rib and a rolled top, but I didn't like it that much.  Learning experience!  Loved the colors and the sock looks great on.
