Socks, socks, socks

Thought i'd show you the socks I have on the needles at the moment . First up are socks for my son in Sirdar Town and Country, using a basic sock pattern.




Next is bayerische, knitted as part of a sockathon on the Angel Yarns Forum





And finally my first ever toe up sock, 'falling in love' from magknits, using Posh Yarn for the first time

Hoping to get at least one pair finished this month to enter in the sock a month challenge on the Crafty threads n yarns forum.

MS3 clue 3


finished this yesterday, finding it a bit easier to keep place on the charts now, but can only do about 10 rows in a session before brain overloads.

yarn spree

Went shopping today for fabric, and while there got 6 balls of DK for mindless summer crochet, one ball each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Yes, I'm making a rainbow throw for DS2. wanted something to do while watching kids, and MS3 is a bit too intricate for that. No pics as camera batteries dies, now recharging them.
