Pat's Knitting and Quilting

Back From Summer Trips

We have had an amazing summer with time spent in Alaska with my oldest son and good friends, followed by a wonderful family reunion in NH where we celebrated my mother's 80th birthday. A little knitting and quilting was squished in with all the other happenings!

Well...

I've decided to use this forced knitting hiatus as an opportunity.

2 Things

1st the good thing...
This toddler sweater is made from a pattern I ripped out of some (unknown now) magazine in 1981 when I had my 1st baby.

Frogging Nutkins and More

6 repeats in and I could see there was a problem - just look at the bias on these socks!

Florenz and UNtangling

It looks all fancy and complicated, but it's just a slip stitch pattern - using one color for 2 rounds...no stranding except for the corrugated rib cuff. I LOVE the sole of these socks and keep thinking I might like a whole sock made from that easy pattern.
