Hi there, remember me?

Gah! It's been so long since I blogged I don't even know how to use Blogger anymore! :)

So I'm still alive and kicking knitting but despite losing my blogging mojo I do still miss all my blog friends!

Ravelry keeps me really busy - the group I administer, Sock Knitters Anonymous, is the third largest group on Rav and has almost 11,000 members!! Wowser!

Anyway since y'all have been staring at my friend Tina's feet in her orange Annetrelac socks for EXACTLY a year, I figured it was time to at least show you her feet in a new pair of socks (direct from Germany!)


Aren't they pretty?

While I haven't been blogging, I have kept my sidebar with my yearly projects up to date so even if you aren't on Ravelry (and WHY NOT????) you can still see what I've been knitting and of course my tutorials will ALWAYS be around as long as blogger is.

I can't promise I'll start blogging again but I'll try to stop in an say hi every now and then.....

And of course this lil guy is as studly as ever! He's gonna be SIX next week, kinda hard to believe how time flies!


Come on over to SKA and say HI now and then....

See ya!!

Socks on Parade, Part Two!

Two more socks for you my Knitbloglandia buds!

First up -

Christmas in February Socks



Last year during our entrelac challenge over at SKA I knit these

My partner in crime fellow mod Bettina went so crazy for them that I promised to knit her a pair which I sent to Germany for Christmas in February!

Specs:

Pattern: Annetrelac Socks

Yarn: Schaefer Heather in the Cranberry Kiss colorway ( I ♥ ♥ ♥ this yarn!!)

Needles: US #1 (2.25mm) and US #0 (2.0mm) 32" addi turbo circs, magic loop method

It's a super easy pattern that looks much harder than it is! I used a little bit heavier yarn than the pattern suggested so I made a ton of mods - all deets on on my Rav page (link above).

Bettina loved them and they are a perfect fit, see.....? (actual Bettina feet, woo hoo!)



And now for something completely different I give you....more socks!

Juicy Mystery Socks



Specs:

Pattern: March Mystery Sock by Kristi Schueler of Designedly Kristi fame

Yarn: Sereknity Yarn and Fiber Sock Options Shimmer Merino & Bamboo in the Seriously Citrus colorway - Again LOVE!!!! (as an aside, I am completely enamored of bamboo blend sock yarn - it's so smooth and cool on the needles and the feet!)

Needles: US# 1 (2.25mm) Hiya Hiya 32" circs, magic loop method.

This was a very interesting and fun Mystery Sock with a cool Cast On/Bind off. We started the sock on waste yarn and added a knitted on I-cord after the whole sock was completed! A new and interesting construction from one of my favorite designers and bloggers, BUT IT STILL NEEDS A NAME KRISTI!! :)

Thus ends this week's installment of "Socks FKD has been too lazy too post". The parade continues next week :)

But WAIT!!

A certain handsome kitteh boy has a BIRTHDAY this week!

My P-Man turns FIVE next Friday!!


Happy Birthday baby boy!


There isn't a sweeter lil chubler kitteh than you!

See ya next week! :)
