Happy Toes

 Look at that! Matchy toes. I love matchy toes. Doing two at a time on the same needle works so nicely for matching stripes.


 I really enjoyed doing them that way but I did have to go fix some holes in the gussett sides. I was a little too lax with my end stitches. The heels are a bit fiddly knitting them this way.  I really need to up my game if I do this again.



The latest man socks are past the heel and onto the foot.



 Here is my very own newly dyed Pandemic MDSW colorway in action. It's not too terrible. I think it's one of my better attempts at dyeing and I am pretty terrible at dyeing. I like the effect the tweedy yarn gives it. It's too bad that yarn is now discontinued.



And a really big TA DA......the Mosi sweater's body is DONE and the hem did NOT roll. Whew. What an epic knit. Now for those sleeves. I've got my fingers crossed I will have enough yarn. This is a game of yarn chicken I don't want to play.

  1. All of your socks are great and I REALLY like the yarn that you dyed. The colors are wonderful. I wish you could make more. I would buy it from you.
    That Mosi sweater is fantabulous! I can't even imagine the colorwork. I do not do it well at all so I'm very envious of master knitters like you.
    Blessings and hugs,
