Sock Loom Progress

There is progress, but I really have no idea what to do next.
I need to watch the videos to figure out the heel.  Wish I felt
more confident about where this is going.  I'm not sure how
long to make the leg or when to start the heel.  Also, the loom
pulls the stitches so tight, that it's sometimes hard to work.
They do loosen up as they drop through the loom.    The
stitches are pretty much uniform and even!
Snow day update:  Another day off, which meant more time
to work on the sock.  It's looking more like a sock but I will
decide if it's successful when it comes off the loom.

iPod Touch Sock

This ipod sock has a picot hem and 1x1 ribbing.  I used

size 2 needles and Bamboo & Ewe sock yarn from the local 

craft store.  This is a soft wool/bamboo blend.  The pattern is 

available free on Ravelry.  If you are not a member of Ravelry,

you have to sign up now.  It's free!  The only changes I made

to the pattern are that I made the ribbing 4" long and I only did

the decrease 2 times, rather than three.  I learned the Kitchener

method of graphing stitches to create a nice closing seam. This

is a gift for a friend, so now I need to make one for me and for

 the kids!  Better get to work.

Sock Loom

Saw this at Joann's and thought it might be fun to give it a try. 

It came with a how to DVD and simple calculations to figure out sock size. 

 I've always wanted to try knitting socks, but I have some trouble with the tiny needles. Right now I'm using size 2's on a project and struggle keeping the little things in my fingers. If this isn't a total fail, I will post the progress, and hopefully some socks.

Snow Day Project

The perfect snow day project!  I started these weeks earlier, but spent the
day off assembling and felting them.  So far these are probably my favorite
 thing to knit, because they always turn out great!  I mentioned the pattern
in a previous post. You can buy it on the French Press Knits site or through
the Ravelry site.
