Another pair of socks for Christmas are finished! I have one more pair to make for Christmas. This yarn and pattern had been calling pick me, pick me! It took 4 starts not counting the times I short guessed how much yarn I needed to cast on or I allowed way too much. With the final cast on I watched some videos on how to slip slip purl and purl front and back. The pattern looks so much nicer when those two things are done right. A few more rows and I will divide for the sleeves and then it should knit fast. I'm using
Mrs. Crosby Train Case sock yarn the color is winter wheat and the pattern is
Vida Dulce by Vera Sanon. Its time to wear the hand knits here. Linking to
Judy's OTN --Ann--

I am a seldom knitter, but did learn to knit socks. I like the socks pictured here. I wouldn't be able to wear socks or actually anything that the stripes don't match. I guess I was a seamstress for too long.
Nice socks, Ann. I really like that sweater, too!
You have made another great pair of socks! Your sweater looks like spun sugar! It is going to be gorgeous.
I really like those socks. They look soft and warm. Lovely yellow for your sweater too.
