Feelin' Stripey

Hello All!  Thank you to all of you prospective ribbon-adopters!!!  Congrats to Blu~~will be emailing you shortly :)  And a Great Big Thank You sweet blogging friends who've bestowed awards on me, I appreciate your thoughtfulness :)

I've been knitting~~of course!  Socks~~naturally!  I finished a "plain" pair of mis-matched stripey ones...


56 stitch basic stockinette sock
size:  women's sm/med
yarn:  Sassy Stripes by Cascade Yarns,
color # 765
2 skeins:  50g/200m
needles:  size 2 dpn's


I finished a pair of anklets today, but no pic yet because it's snowing (again!)  I'll take one when there's better lighting :)  But I do have a photo of another stripey sock in progress.  I'm completely copying this one.  Noro yarn, 5 row stripes, one ball~~knit alternating with one end from inside and one end from outside of ball...

 
I've been getting lots of sock-knitting questions...and I've found some sites that you might find helpful:
 
 
Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods and for all your wonderful comments!  Happy Knitting :)

    I love your socks! I've never used Noro sock yarn. How do you like it? The color changes are gorgeous.

    The red and blue stripies don't seem "mis-matched" to me. All of my socks turn out that way!

    I love the colorway of the finished pair and the Noro socks are going to be stunning!

    I have some Noro sock in my stash but haven't knit it yet--you'll have to let me know how it washes up.

    Hi Staci,

    You know, if you hadn't pointed out
    that those striped socks were mis-
    matched I would never have noticed.
    And I'm sure that once they're being
    worn on someone's feet no one else
    will notice either. They look quite
    pretty and cozy to me.

    The graduated color changes in the
    pair of socks that you're stitcing
    now look quite interesting and I
    look forward to seeing the finished
    pair.

    The combination of your beautifully
    knitted wash clothes and those very
    pretty gift tags from Michaels will
    make the lucky recipients very
    happy I'm sure. They don't even
    need to be wrapped because the
    wonderful colors plus the tags and
    the ribbon tied into bows looks
    makes for a terrific combination
    as is.

    Those Brewster socks in that
    delicious "Fabulous Fall" color
    are gorgeous!!! Love that color!!
    I love the ribbing worked into
    the pattern and they are a great
    color combination too.

    I'm glad to see some of your
    cross stitching too. The Pin
    cushion that you made for Paula
    is a cute design. The black thread
    really shows up nicely on your
    Staci dyed evenweave fabric and
    the black beaded edges finish the
    whole piece nicely.

    You're still getting snow?? We've
    been getting rain lately although
    today was an absolutely gorgeous
    day with lots of sunshine and warm
    temperatures. Of course since it
    was a work day we didn't really
    have a chance to enjoy it as much
    as we would have liked.

    Any time you need thread wound
    onto bobbins give me a shout and
    I'll come right down and give you
    a hand with it. It beats working!

    Cheers!
