Socks & Sweater...

Sam knit her first pair of Queen Kahuna socks.  She used Heritage sock yarn for this project.  They turned out beautifully!

Sam said she loved how this sock turns out.  At first it was a bit difficult to decipher the pattern...but, with a bit of help she has now mastered this great sock!  Sam has the extra challenge of figuring out patterns for her left-handedness....she says she's going to re-write the pattern to accomodate this fact.

Linda M. knit her pair of Queen Kahuna socks out of Mountain Colors Crazy Foot.  Her cuff was made on the shorter side with ribbing.  Queen Kahuna guides you to make any type of sock once you have the pattern mastered.  Linda did a beautiful job!

Nancy P. knit this beautiful sweater out of Comfort.  The buttons pull the sweater together and give it a very pretty, finished look.  Thanks for sharing with us Nancy!

Carol Higgins knit these beautiful socks out of yarn that Christiane brought back from Switzerland that she gifted to her.  These socks look like a Monet painting in person.

Virginia F. in The Traveler's Coat.  She looks gorgeous.

Linda Wa. and 2 of her friends knit up these socks out of the same Fixation Yarn.  The yarn came out completely different for each pair.  It is such a great idea to do this with some of your friends!

Linda says: "At least 2 years ago, but more likely 3 years ago, I bought this yarn and needles for two of my best friends so we could all make socks alike together  - they wanted to branch out from scarf knitting.  One of us lost track of where she put the project and found it when she was getting out Christmas decorations (or putting them away), and of course there was some ripping out/starting over, but last Friday, everyone was finally finished!  So we had to mark the occasion with a photo and this is it!"

Bandit...if only I could fit on this chair.
