April Socks

Here are my April socks for the sock KAL on Knit & Chat. They are toe-up anklets in Bernat Sox Denim, in "Baby Cable" stitch, from Sensational Knitted Socks. There were a few places where I lost count and knitted a row too many between cable rows.

This picture shows where I did the heel flap stitch under the heel, in order to both make the heel fit tighter, and (hopefully!) make it wear longer. I have narrow feet, so store-bought socks always fit too loosey goosey for my liking.

Here's Grandmother's Favourite with Heart dishcloth, from this site: http://http://anewtwistondishcloths.blogspot.com/2005/08/grandmothers-favorite-with-heart.html This was a quick knit, taking less than half a 50g skein of dishcloth cotton.

Ta da! My next socks, Broadripple from http://knitty.com, with Paton's Grace, on 2.25mm needles. These will be ankle socks to match my capris. I'm hoping it will be capri-wearing weather by the time I finish these socks. Dream on! We woke up to the ground covered in snow today. *G*
