knitting Archives - The Little Mushroom Cap: A Quilting Blog

I rarely knit really. As much as I want to knit more, I seem to have less patience to knit than to sew. To me it seems so slow to get a finished knitting project done. I figured, knitting has its own pace, its own kind of therapy. I do enjoy it somedays. Especially on cold days where sitting under a quilt watching tv would be best. Those are perfect knitting days.

However, I did found a quick satisfying knit project though. A pair of simple socks for my little one.

I really enjoyed knitting this pair. The pattern is called Pitter Patter from the book : I knit the pair in between other daily stuff in 2 days. Which is fast for me – a beginner knitter.

Have I told you I love ? Maybe I have… when I finished my very first sock here. But I do, really love it. I learned how to knit two-socks at a time with this book. Now I even know how to knit toe up. I applied similar technique and managed to tackled toe up in two of my other socks here and here.

So I highly recommend this book for those who want to learn how to knit socks. You can also get theif you are interested into that.

The quick finish was really lovely. My son really enjoyed it through our last winter! I really need to make another soon before our next winter comes.

Until next time, take care and have a wonderful holiday!

Hi!

A week ago I finished my third hand knit socks. I am slow with all my knit and crochet projects mainly because I don’t spend enough time with them. I would say I knit pretty fast (I am doing it the continental method) but I get bored after 2 or 3 rows! When I get bored I stop and it may be another week before I get hold of it again!

Even though slow, it has an end. So here is my latest knit socks finished. I haven’t blocked it though. That can wait. It is not socks season anymore here down under.

The sock pattern is Crocus from the book Toe Up Socks for Every Body by Wendy Johnston. I really enjoyed making this socks, I love the lacy look too.

I did mistake here and there, but I just move along. Where I can repair I did, where I can’t I just keep going. I am not that good at correcting knitting mistakes yet, sometimes it just made it worst. So, I am pretty happy and proud with this finish.
