Love this pattern. The gusset increases are across the top of the instep and create a spiraling stitch band. They fit very comfortably.

This is a wonderful pattern. I would surely knit it again. The pattern repeat was very easy to follow and it was a good tv knit. This yarn is scrumptious! It has little silvery bits spun into Dream in Color's squishy, wonderful sock yarn. Its also got quite a bit of yardage at 4 oz and 450 yds. I still have 49g left over.

The knitting was done a while ago, but I finally seamed it up and sewed on the buttons today. This is for a co-worker who wanted one for a gift for someone.

FO: Toe Up Socks II

Pattern: Toe Up Socks with a Difference by Wendy Johnson

Yarn: Knit One Crochet Too Ty-Dy
Needles: Knit Picks US 1 32" Circular
Started April 11 2010
Completed May 7 2011

These socks got dragged around everywhere and I only completed a row or two here and there while I was waiting. I finally finished them up this past weekend.

I like this pattern a lot, its my go to for plain stockinette socks.

I liked the yarn, I really liked the color repeats. It was a little splitty though, but not enough that I wouldn't use it again.

FO: Baby Blanket

All in all I was happy with the final result. I don't think I'd make a blanket with cotton yarn again, it was heavy, hurt my hands to knit with and pulled the second half from the weight. Washing and drying it took care of a lot of the wonky shape.


I started this project to use up some left over yarn from a baby sweater. I wanted to try diagonal knitting.


I ended up having to buy more green and red yarn ... so this wasn't exactly a stash busting project!
