A Sock ~ Yarn Along #7


Last week I thought my new project would be leg warmers, but I decided I didn't think the yarn I had in mind would be quite right.  I opted to start a pair of socks for my daughter instead.  So far I am really happy with they way they are turning out.  

Last week due to this and this, I had time to get some reading and knitting done.  Amazing what a little free time can bring!  I even had the chance to check out a yarn shop in the area.  In the sun I perused a couple of knitting magazines, read Knitlit (I like the beginning better than the end), and the new edition of mater et magistra.  I was also able to start Hunger Games.  I wish I would have started it sooner, it's a page turner!

Happy Knitting, and be sure to check out what others in the yarn along are working on.

I made leg warmers and wear them around the house. I want to make some for my little girls...still not a sock maker!

Purple socks, how fun! I keep on coming across Mater et Magistra. How do you like it? I've been debating whether I should subscribe.

I love knitting magazines for the inspiration!
The socks will look beautiful in the yarn you've chosen.

I picked up some knitting themed fiction from the library. I have not had time to read them yet. Looking forward to it though. I'm really enjoying seeing what everyone is doing and reading in the yarn along.
