Appunto
Another Yarnissima test knit.  I made these for my dear MIL.

Here are the details:

Pattern:  "Appunto", designed for Three Irish Girls by Yarnissima
Size: medium
Yarn:  Araucania Ranco Solid, color: 115
Needles: US 3/3.25 mm
Comments:  Great sock!  The only mod I made was to mirror the cables on the second sock.

Fire socks

Fire socks
Girl on Fire Socks
I finished these socks as I finished reading The Hunger Games Trilogy so it seemed only appropriate to name them "Girl on Fire" socks.  This was a fun test knit for Yarnissima.


Here are the details:
Pattern:  "Gush", a Ravelry mystery knit designed by Yarnissima; click here for Ravelry link
Size: medium
Yarn: Regia Canadian, colorway: orange/red
Needles: US 2/3.0 mm
Comments:  The pattern looks like flames coming up the sock--much easier to see in person or with solid color yarn!

"Secrets" Stocking

Wow.  I have really dropped the blog-ball!  Time to start again and get caught up.


Let's start with the Christmas stocking I finished LAST year.  Here is my daughter Madison's "Secrets" Stocking:

And hidden under the flap is the 'secret':

"Secret" under the flap






The pattern details are not much different than the "Forest" stocking, but here are the specifics:
Kit:  "Secrets" by Judy's Colors
Colorway: Pink
Needles:  US5/3.75mm


I really need to make at least one more stocking before this holiday season.  I think I should get started!
