FAVORITE SOCKS FROM INTERWEAVE.....YAHOO!!


I am just in love with my new sock book! Favorite Socks - 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave. What a great collection of socks - you just want to make them all. I also have gotten into a rut using the same sock yarn over and over again - of course, I could substitute but I need to get out of the everyday sock yarns that I use and try something new!
These are my Retro Rib Socks in Patons Kroy Sock Yarn. I had a hard time finding this yarn but ebay wins again for helping me find what my LYS does not carry.

I love the twisted stitches and what looks complicated is sooooo easy!

Next from this book is a textured pair of socks done in Cascade Fixation!



Fall is in the air and the flower gardens are starting to dwindle with blooms. This is the side yard to our home and every year I am amazed at how large the Hydrangea tree has gotten. The blooms are so white! They are so many blooms and they are so heavy that you wonder if the tree can hold them all up. Just a gorgeous end to summer!

How cool to come across this the day after I ordered the book on Amazon! Now I am really excited. And I must know, where did you get the awesome sock blockers?
