Update on crochet socks

I did located the yarn labels, the yarn I am using is Malabrigo, left over from making some felted clogs. The color is Apple Green. I love this yarn, I bought so much of this yarn, (a couple of years ago) and now am trying to find things to knit up the left overs.

P9110008 These are my husbands, before sewing on the soles.

007 These are how they look now!

I have mine done, all except sewing on the soles.

009

The pattern is the Fiber Trends felted clog pattern, easy, but a lot of counting. I had trouble finding the soles to put on them, I finally located them at Patternworks. And it is worth buying them and putting them on.

After all of the work, you will fall in love with these and use them for a long time.

So haven't gotten too far on the crochet socks. I have made so many knitted socks, I am having trouble deciding if I like them.

I don't know how to explain, but the whole rhythm is different. I'm having trouble getting into the flow.

024 This is my husbands lovely foot. LOL

    Your felted slippers look so cozy!

    I have a question though. Do you have to use double pointed knitting needles to make them or are they knit straight?

    Ah. I'm not surprised that is Malabrigo yarn - very pretty colors and soft. The felted clogs look nice - I've wondered how that works out with combining the felted yarn with the base. Do you attach the yarn to the sole before felting?

Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. I’ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more.. Fibonacci Numbers and Nature The Wiki and Fibonacci Mona Lisa -- Da Vinci's Use of Sacred Geometry (you tube link) In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci...

Hills and Valleys Cowl/Hood (free pattern)

I was searching for the perfect cowl that I had in my mind to knit. Trawling on Ravelry, I wanted one, just the right size around, only once around my neck and not too tight, loose enough to pull up around my face and tall enough to get it around my ears during a windy dog walk, but able to squish it down into my collar of my coat and not be too thick and bulky. About a third of the way into the pattern I decided to make it long enough to pull up as a hood also.  I finally just un-vented this one, as Elizabeth Zimmerman would say. Add caption This is a simple stitch textured cowl/hood (you decide the length). Suitable for beginning knitters. Purl ridges make the cowl easy to scrunchy down or pull up. You can wear the ribbed end on top if you are wearing it as a cowl to make it snuggie around your neck or, wear the purl ridges on top if you are pulling it up as a hood. If you have any questions or find an error please let me know so I can correct it!  I’ve added some tuto...

Warm Snuggly Cocoon Shrug

This is one of my long term projects that I just wanted to get off my needles. When these types of patterns started showing up I was interested in making one. It looked simple and fast and cozy. What more do you want? Described as a wrap, shrug, bolero, and even sweater, it is just a large rectangle, either crochet or in this case knitted. When the rectangle is large enough. Just fold it in two, sewing the sides together. . Easy concept. I picked out a free pattern, The Lion Brand, Speckled Shrug ( free pattern here ) I always like to look at the finished projects on Ravelry and read the comments everyone has made that knitted the item.  Seems like knitters were split into two camps. The make it smaller and more fitted and Bolero jacket like. The other group was to make it bigger. I noticed that the problem with this shape of this pattern is a baggy bottom after sitting. (like once). I had already made another pattern that was a bolo jacket so opted to make mine fairly large ...
