On and off the Needles



Hap hap happy feet!!!! How can feet not be happy with this happy yarn and happy socks!!! I love the colors and the stitch pattern was super simple. p2, k4 repeat 4 rows, k2,p2,k2 repeat 4 rows, k4, p2 repeat 4 row and repeat the 12 row sequence.

I have made progress on my cardigan. I'm working on the sleeves, I put markers in my decrease rows so it is easier to count how many decreases I have done.  I followed the instructions in my favorite knitting book for sewing seams, there are specific ways to sew together bound off edges or horizontal seams, edge to edge or vertical seams, and horizontal sewn to a vertical edge seams. This sweater has all three types of seams and with a little steam I think they will look pretty dandy.  We have had lots of cool windy days here perfect for knitting. linking to Judy's OTN. --Ann--

  4. Love them socks. My kind of colors!! Your sweater looks great too. Thanks for the tip of marking your decrease rows. I have to have a pencil and paper handy when I'm knitting anything new (or old for that matter). I'm fainting along with swooze.
