May's sock
I wasn't going to share this with you. I wanted to wait until they were all done. But what the heck. Here is the start of May's sock:
Yes, I realize that they are a bit "elfish". They will be great at Christmas time! It's the Pippi Kneestocking Pattern from the 1st Stitch and Bitch book. I don't know what it is about knee socks and me. They knit up so fast! It could be the size 3 needles. It could be the easy stockinette stitch. It could even be the thicker yarn.
I had this yarn in my stash for a while. It is Wool Ease. I don't know for the life of me why I picked these colors so long ago.... I could have got this when I was pregnant. Pregnant women don't always think straight. I found the yarn while I was rearranging my little craft space. It's a shame to let it go to waste. Well maybe not...
So there you have it.
I also wanted to plug my friend Margaret's new etsy shop. She makes the most beautiful bracelets in the whole world (at least I think so)! I got one for Christmas:
Here it is on my wrist:
Isn't it the coolest? She's so talented. You can find her here. They may seem pricey, but oh my are they worth it! All you Mothers out there, get your hubby's to buy you one! It's our weekend after all!
Enjoy!

Holy crap! WHY WHY WHY do you keep posting about these places to shop? That bracelet is so great.
Love the socks. They're so fun!
I may call and bug you later. I think I'm going to buy the Kiwi!

Those socks were one of the main reasons I bought the first Stitch and Bitch book...yet I never got around to making them. When I got the book they were in the "things to make once I get past dishcloths" stage. And now that I am past those, I forgot about them. Maybe I should make those sometime soon with my stash...

The bracelet is dazzling. Very neat!
And I love the knee socks, they're so fun!

Happy Mother's Day! Yup, what a nice bracelet. You're pretty funny that knee socks knit up so fast, since it takes me forever to make regular socks. Maybe I'll do some in dk and see if the 3s make a difference.

That is a very cool bracelet!
I know what happened. You figured that you shaved your legs so you'd show a sock. :-)

Ooohhh, those socks will be cute! I'm going to be a copy cat and crack out my first S&B book too!
