A pair of socks a month!


So I've set a new knitting goal for myself: I'm going to knit a pair of socks for myself each month! Why you ask? Beacus I'm obsessed with knitting, and I've fallen in love with socks! They are THE perfect knitting project. Small in size, nice pattern options, and they are fast to knit. 

Here is last months socks, knit from the pattern Monkey, by Cookie A You can find the pattern here :www.knitty.com

Progress shot:
        (Note the absolutily beautifull project holder Max got me for last Christmas <3)

And the finished results! 

This was a great pattern, and the finished socks are amazing! I knit them up in 
Pagewood Farm Denali Hand Dyed Sock Yarn, which I highly reccomend. It has very little spliting, and is super soft. AND its superwash wool!



Here is the start of my October socks. I'm using some yarn from my stash, more of the Pagewood Farm yarn. This time I'm making Pomatomus, by the same author as Monkey.
