Very Vanilla Socks

Finished recently, these Very Vanilla Socks are my first socks knitted with circular needles!  I did start off with double pointed needles on these but I decided to have a go with circulars. I found a couple of how to video's on You Tube and away I went! 

Now I think circulars are definitely my preference to use for knitting socks, I have ChiaGoo Red Lace Stainless Steel fixed circulars with an 80 cm/32 inch cable which I purchased from Vintage Purls here in New Zealand. They are great to use.

So all the details for these socks:

Details: Very Vanilla Socks by Jo-Anne Kilm

Latest Projects

I finished all the stitching on the Lizzie Kate mystery sampler earlier in the week- it just needs the beads and embellishments added, which I'll work on over the weekend. I'm also hoping to finish the first of my 2018 Christmas ornaments and move onto the next one.

In the meantime, here's an update on a few other projects I've got on the go at the moment:

Some Very Vanilla socks using the lovely Straycat sock yarn I purchased last year. This yarn is so lovely and soft. The little sock bag is also by Straycat Socks.

The little scissors were a Christmas gift from my friend Elizabeth, they are just perfect to go into my knitting bag.

This week I made a small start on Easter Peep Parade, I've had this sitting in my basket for ages.

I'm finding the fabric, 36ct WDW Chestnut, a little hard to work on in the evenings but I'm getting there!

This is where I'm up to on Feliz Navidad:

I had to do a little bit of frogging on the border, out by one stitch. I really hope it all meets up correctly at the bottom!

See you soon x
