Two projects...


I know... I know..., I'm one of the few who only have one or two projects on the needles at one time.  Since I had the lacy dragon scarf on the needles, and it's not a project I could reasonably take somewhere with me to work on, I had to do something.  You know how it goes: I try to listen to a conversation or be part of a conversation when I should be paying strict attention to the chart! How many times have a brought something home to frog all the progress I had hoped to make!  Oooo, that makes me cranky! So, I HAD to get another project on the needles, and socks are always a good choice.

I love the sock pattern Dee in Florida is working on...and since  she made it easy to get the Dragonfly Socks pattern, I decided to give it a try.  I usually knit socks on size 2 needles, and this pattern calls for size 1. I'm using Opal sock yarn (75% wool superwash, 25% polyamid), and the color is sort of an eggplanty-brown.  So far, I'm loving it.  Thanks, Dee!

  3. You're welcome. It's a FUN pattern.

    I have my blanket (BIG project that stays home) and my socks. I'm doing my Dragonfly on 1-1/2 needles.

  6. Don't we get great ideas from one anothers blogs?? LOVe your color choice. I couldn't knit that pattern while talking to anyone though. Only a plain jane sock would succeed with me
