Yes, I know I wasn’t talking about socks. But the second stripy silk sock is being re-knit at a pleasantly fast rate, so I feel a bit more friendly towards them now.
And then, this morning, Issue 47 of Simply Knitting dropped through the letterbox. Not only does it contain a free calendar which features a sock pattern for every month, but there’s also a thirteenth sock pattern inside the magazine itself!
I’m sure this must be terribly dull for anyone who doesn’t have the slightest interest in socks, but I couldn’t be more pleased.
“Rugged Rambler” are cabled socks, knitted in DK yarn, on two needles. Excellent! I had sort of sworn that I would never have anything to do with cabled socks ever again, but in DK they should work up twice as quickly, and I think these will be lovely and snug inside a pair of warm winter boots.
But oh! Look at these spooky beauties!
The fairisle pattern’s almost the same as the one I used on my skull jumper:
Now I can’t possibly resist knitting socks to match!
I don’t think I’ll have them ready in time for Hallowe’en, but I’ll definitely be knitting a pair of these for myself this winter.
some big websites and companies give free calendars :
i would love to get some free calendars on the internet, are there are sites or company that gives one? *;~
