I KNIT SOX
Was gifted sock yarn a year ago, its Christmas-y
Found the pattern I want
Mistletoe-kisses by Knitting Ex-Pat
Used the ball winder I bought for Christmas, its NOT a Stanwood & it SUX!
Having to rewind by hand
Hoping to Cast-On tonight
Gotta go print the pattern
The Road for the Jacket
So, I bought a Jean Jacket at Walmart, it came with holes & is worn on the edges. My intention is to patch & embellish it.
I bought FALL PLAID for the elbows & facings of collar, cuffs & bottom edge.
I bought iron on mending patches, to cover the holes on the inside of the jacket & a leaf fabric for public side.
I'll use heat & bond to attach stuff & parchment paper to protect the iron
I bought 3 sizes of silk leaves to randomly attach, to emmulate falling leaves.
I will add beads in yellow & gold to simulate sun & sunbeams.

SOCK EXPERIMENT
So, I LOVE to knit sox
I have a favorite toe & heel turn & heel flap
I have some EXPENSIVE yarns, so I want to make the most of them, so knitting them
toe up would be to my advantage, that's where this toe up pattern would be great.
It's Judy's You're Putting Me On.
SO, I wrote out a cuff down pattern, line by line, using ALL the components I love & I wrote out Judy's pattern, line by line, and I made sure the patterns were the same.
I WAS gonna use Liat Gat's pattern too, but the structure is not totally the same as MY pattern or Judy's.
on May 8th, I cast on using Red Heart - Heart & Sole without Aloe in Jelly Beans & Sorbeto
again, originally I was going to compare both Toe Up patterns with a Cuff Down.
I completed the 2 cuff down socks on Sat July 9th
Jelly Bean Cuff Down & Sorbeto Cuff Down
then I started the Jelly Bean & Watercolor Stripes (it HAS Aloe) July 10th
finished the First of Judy's & the Jelly Bean on July 19th
next I started the toe up for the Sorbeto & the Watercolor on
the decision was made that ALL the Toe Ups would be Judy's pattern, tweaking as I go
for the Jelly Bean I used Cat Bordhi for the bind off
for the Sorbeto I use Very Pinks for the Bind Off
for the First Watercolor Stripes I used Knitting Blooms
today is 7-21
I finished the Sorbeto Toe Up & Cast on the 2nd of the Watercolor
in a few days, when the 6th sock is done, I will post pictures & my findings
