Half way done...

I'm half way done with my new pair of socks.  I am so obsessed with purples lately.  As you can see, I prefer ankle socks and I usually get 2 pair from one skein.  Yeah!  It's a simple mindless pattern which is great for knitting on the go or, if you are like me, knitting while listening to tv. Lol

Lots of new goodies will be rolling out very soon.  Today, much to my surprise, my picture session went better than ever.  I have no idea why it went so well today but I don't care. Im just thankful!  

This year my mother is making the most adorable Christmas ornaments for my shop. I can't wait to share them.  They are soooooo adorable and PERFECT gifts for knitters.  You must pick up a few!!

Ta Da... new socks

New ankle socks!  I love 'em.  Great yarn.  Great pattern.  Super easy.

Yarn: Wolf Creek Wools Superwash Wool-Nylon
          Color: Nassau (blue)

          Swans Island Natural Colors Merino Fingering
          Color:  Garnet (not superwash)

Pattern:  from Purlbee here

The only thing that I would change on the next pair I knit (yes, the next pair.  This will probably be my go to pattern for basic ankle socks)  would be to go down a needle size.  They fit good but I really like my socks a bit tighter.

I also think this is a great pattern for beginner sock knitters.  It's short, easy, and lends itself to your own creativity.
