The Regia Socks

So the socks are done.  It has been a while since I made ones with such a long cuff. I imagine I will wear them turned down...

Knitting projects - Socks

Just in time for the chilly weather (OK, its super cold, I live in Canada after all...did I mention the prairies...?) I got a couple of books and began another sock journey.  First I made these crazy two needle socks...



They turned out amazing and they had the advantage of less row counting.  You see, when you are knitting a row and purling a row, you only do the decreases on the knit side.  Super slick.  Then she recommends you do a crocheted seam to complete them.  And it cleverly landed just at the edge of the cable.



Toasty in my new socks.

Mittens for me

I finally got around to making something for me.  These are made with Royal Alpaca yarn from Gina Brown's.  The yarn was pricey but the mitts are really great.  So soft.  I use them as liners for my leather mitts.  Great for driving. (I still don't see why cars don't come with heated steering wheels as well as heated seats....)
