Hi!!
I decided to put the yarn wrappers with my pictures as a way of seeing what yarn I used to make what projects.
I saw the picture of the lady that had four pairs of socks on two circular needles and it challenged me to try to do two pair at a time, just to see if I could. When I get to the heels I will repost a picture to show how I do all the heels at the same time. I use stitch holders and I only have enough holders to do two pair. My needles are 32" size 2 circular needles so they could only hold two pair too, I hope. The Panda cotton is so soft it slips easily down the cable. It also seems to split very easily. But it is soooo soft that I know it will feel good on my feet.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Hi!!
Well I've been knitting some on my three projects. It seems like I just can't get them done fast enough. There is so much to do and so little time. I want to get them all done so I can start on other projects. Then there is the yarn calling me to buy it. I want to make a couple of Christmas sweaters. One green and one red and put some gold thread mixed in. I bought the gold thread but I haven't gotten the red and green yarns yet. I think the thread would make them more dressy. I have a book on making sweaters from the top down and I want to try that out. The weather seems to be getting cold before I get my warm things made.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Knitting


Hi!!
Well this is unprecedented! 3 projects at once. I'm the person that has mostly done one project at a time and then when I'm done I start another one. Well this time I couldn't figure out which one I wanted to do first so I started all three. I wanted top see how all of them would come out and I just didn't have the patience to get one finished before I started another one. The black socks are for my dear husband. The green ones are for me. The furry stole is a Christmas present for one of my daughters. I plan to make another one for my other daughter. I may be also making some for my granddaughters too. It does seem to go pretty fast on size 10 needles. the yarn is on sale at Hershner's for $.99 cents. So I bought 30 of them. I may go back and get some more. They have a lot of different furry yarns for that price right now. Now to get my projects done. I had an advertisement yesterday saying there is only 67 days till Christmas. Oh!! What a shock!! Will get everything knitted that I want to for everyone for Christmas??? Wished I was a much speedier knitter.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Hi!!
The pictures uploaded today!! Yay!!
Here is how I turn the heels on my socks both at the same time. I use stitch holders to hold the slipped stitches across both socks. It makes it much less confusing to me to do it this way and I also get both heels turned at the same time. These are a pair of socks for my Dear Husband. I tried them on his feet and they seem to be fitting perfectly.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Well I finally got the Tiger Socks done for my son Jonathan. He has big legs so they look really big. I already know that they will fit him because we tried them on as I was knitting.

Now to other projects.

Have a great day!!

Hi!!
I just got back from being out of state again. We went to Ohio for a wedding. On my trip I made 7 pair of baby booties but I gave four of them to my niece expecting a baby boy. She had to leave before I got the last 3 done so I brought them home and got this picture of them before I sent them to her in Colorado. I also sent her a sweet potato bread from Young's Dairy in Ohio. I brought some home to my daughters too. It is really good. I am working on a pair of tiger socks for my son. I tried them on him the other day and they seem to be doing fine. He said that they will be the most comfortable socks that he will have. He has a calf that is 18 inches around and he says that other socks get real tight there. I made these so they will fit his calf. I have just a couple of more inches to go to be done with them.

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
