Socks for my sister Tami. She is the most brash, loud, fun, funny, tomboyish Biker Chick I've ever met and I couldn't love her more. Deep down, where no one knows it, she likes purple. And Lime. These socks have her name all over them. Then there's my kitty, Kitty. She love lizards. For dinner. Just kidding! Just for playing with.....

those socks are BRIGHT!!! :)
I love how it's almost making climbing Steps with the striped yarn.
What pattern are you using?
hehehe Lizard hunter.. Lizrds freak me the heck out.
And Cats don't like me usually...
Mostly because I want them to come cuddle with me like dogs do...
But the Cat is like.. Um.. screw you?

I'm using the generic toe up, afterthought heel pattern. You can totally get one pair out of a ball, with plenty left over!

The lizard hunting was observed and photographed by the husband and kidling.

Cats are totally like... screw you!

Where do you get Cascade Yarn?
All we've got here is Joann (none there) Michaels (No) and Wallmart (gag) A few local places.. but I didn't see cascade at my favorite place....
Aftger the pair I'm working on.. My next pair I'll do that pattern with you..
Can you Link me to it?

Check out this link to Threadbear Fiber Arts. Third and forth on the list is cascade solid and multi-colored. Their prices are cheaper than my LYS. AND I know these guys! I shopped there quite a bit when my husband worked near their store in Indiana! Rob (one of the owners) is the designer of Broadripple from Knitty, also in Cascade Fixation!
You only need one ball for footies, but of course if you want different colored heels and toes you'd need more, but then you can make two pair, the inverse of each other!

Which ones do you like? In the mean time I'll work on writing out my directions for starting! Yay, our own little knit-along!

Okay, When I do toe up socks I use the figure 8 cast on found HEREat knitty, the second one. (We can try the short row toe next pair!) get some worsted weight yarn and some bigger (sz 5 or bigger) and practice!

NOW!

Sorry for yelling, let me know when you're doing it and maybe we can chat via msnmessanger, do you have that? Ooh or by phone, I have unlimited long distance and I don't work (lucky me!) so whenever you want and we could be on speaker!
