On The Needles September 12, 2014

These socks actually were finished several weeks ago, but I haven't had time to post about them. I call these the Plain Jane socks. It's a simple pattern of K3, P1 ribbing with a common heel. These are larger than I can wear so they will go into the bin. I keep extra knitted items on hand for gift giving opportunities. Do you?

I went to visit my new Grand-bebé last weekend and unfortunately left my knitting bag there. I guess I'll just have to go back to retrieve it. Plus get more baby time. ;-)

In the meantime, I had to start a new project. More socks. This is a simple 2 stitch cable. Why the toothpick? It is my cable needle. Since my favorite needles and row marker are in another town, I had to pull out a different set of needles, row marker and even knitting bag. 


What are you knitting? I'm linking to Judy's linky.

  8. Are you sure you didn't leave your knitting bag behind so you could go back to get it and get a little more 'unscheduled' baby time? Nothing on the needles here - too busy hand quilting.
