RECREATING

 made a pair of socks in 2007, 

they ended up with someone else.

in 2010, I created a kit for Whenever ... AGAIN!! 

I knit a pair but don't know where they ended up

I NEVER had a pair for myself, so now, in 2022, it's time to knit myself a pair

I found the pattern in Mar on a thumb drive, bought beads Apr 3rd.

on Sat Apr 9, 2022, I went to Simply Socks & got yarn. 

UNFORTUNTELY, I i bought Madeline Tosh Merino Light instead of Tosh Socks, so I had to go get  size 14 steel crochet hook to add the beads, since I can't string the beads on the yarn. 

the first pair will be knit INTARSIA in the round with 6 colors of umbrellas

colors bought

Madeline Tosh Merino Light, 92.03 gm RainWater

Simply Sock Yarn

Silver Lining 50.33 gm

Cherry Red 51.53

Orange 52.75 gm

Blue 53.30 gm

Purple 51.60 gm

Green 51.46 gm

Finch 51.59 gm

Cast on the clouds at 9pm

got the first 6 done about

11pm 

PROGRESS

SOCKS?

Hobby Lobby has NEW yarn

[($14.99 - 30%) + 6% sales tax] X 2 skeins = 4 pair of sox

1 black pair + 1 white pair + black left / white right + white left / black right

Got the pattern in mind, now to write it up

Reverse for other sock

IF I knit 1 black & 1 white, I can knit left sox & right sox 2AAT.
