Sock Finish

Finished Socks!

I have finished my Dunsborough socks! The yarn is from Text and Co in Dunsborough (but it is a Circus Tonic set),

The cable pattern is from Second Chance Romance socks by Lauren Rad (Bee in a Bonnet), but I did my own sock recipe.

I used 2.25mm circular needle, cast on 64 stitches, heel flap and gusset, and Kate Atherley’s sock toe.

Now I have started knitting the Habitation Throw by Helen Stewart with my Kate Davies Advent Calendar yarn.

First ball of yarn

I made my husband randomly pick a ball from the bag of 24.

New Sock Knitting Project

I went on holiday so I wanted something easier to knit than my Scout Shawl. When we were in Dunsborough last year, I purchased yarn from Text and Co, which has been dyed to represent the blues of the ocean and there is a mini skein to represent the sand (it was dyed by Circus Tonic Handmade.

My project bag is my Lady and The Unicorn Zipper Bag from Red Bubble – the large size is great for socks.

I am using a chart from one of my Bee in a Bonnet patterns – I think it is The Second Chance Romance Socks, but I am just doing the twisted stitch bit.

I cast on 64 stitches (no swatch this time), and did a K2P2 rib for 20 rounds, and then onto the pattern.

Usual needles (2.25mm).
