With the Lava socks done and dusted, it was time to get another pair of socks on the needles. Paisley is the next birthday on my list, and even though it’s not until December, you know me… I like to stay ahead of the curve.
I’d long planned to make her some colourwork socks. I bought the yarn back in April. I’m not actually using the Love Still Wins pattern, I’ve just stolen the hearts from the chart. I’m working my sock top down…
So far it’s going swimmingly.
Felici has nice fat stripes. As you can see I’m through three of the colours and have three more to go. This one won’t go as fast as the lava socks, but it’s definitely fun!
Those are so pretty! That’s a great use for Felici.

You are ambitious! Just the thought of using more than one yard to knit makes me shiver in terror…

Oh I love this! I have to see if I can chart some hearts to make socks with. What a great idea. First I have to make a couple of sweaters for Piper. Papa told me she was wearing the last ones I made her while he was there this week. The sleeves are almost to her elbows and she’s still wearing them! Nothing like someone who appreciates your knitting to make you want to make them lots more is there?
Blessings,
Betsy
