As I mentioned on Monday, I have been working on the socks I shall now call my Super Awesome Happy Rainbow Socks (my mum now insists I name all my sock projects as it amuses her, and I do aim to please *laughs*)
In fact, I have mostly been working on these socks - they've still got a way to go because I'm planning to knit as far as the yarn will go to make the most of the yarn, but they're currently my main project
I have made a little bit of progress on my shawl too. A row here and there (and quite a few rows while watching The Bourne Identity - action films apparently make me knit faster!) and it's almost done. Almost.
As you can see from the bottom of the picture, there is something new going on too. After a stressful week at work, combined with the migraine I mentioned on Friday, I wanted something new but different. So I decided to learn to crochet a granny square...
Incidentally, photographing black with radioactive orange is challenging *laughs*
See?!
So here's my little stack, I'm not being too fussy about them. Some have small errors but overall they look pretty good. And it uses up some stash yarn that had no purpose. I'll save deciding what to do with them until I've made a few more I think ;)
As ever, if you want more lovely knitting and reading content, head to Tami's and Ginny's *smiles*
Gay pride socks and Halloween granny squares - I love your colourful crafting! It's so happy!
ReplyDeleteLoving the Halloween granny squares - I keep making forays into crocheting and forgetting how to do afterwards - maybe I should follow your example and make a stack of granny squares too... Rainbow socks are fab too!
ReplyDeleteI think you mom is on to something and everyone should name their socks! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour granny square looks pretty amazing, I still can't get the hang of crocheting.
Have a great yarn along day!
I also love naming things I'm making, makes it happier
ReplyDeleteThose Socks are indeed Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the grannys!! very Halloween *Grins*
Learning something new seems like an odd thing to do when you have a headache, are sick, had a bad week etc; but well done. Grannies are sooooooooo useful; but putting them together can become a bit tedious if you do too many in a row or change colors too frequently...all those ends to work in. I name all the afghans I make for charity, for Bridge and Beyond; so why not name your socks, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have rainbow socks which i love! You may want to check out the granny square sampler cal. I am new to crochet, but have started this week. Those granny squares are addictive.
ReplyDeleteYour socks and squares are gorgeous! I love the socks beyond all reason:)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to have something super easy to just sit down and make sometimes, such as your granny squares. I like the colors. Also...cannot wait to see the finished socks!
ReplyDeleteLove the socks. They make me happy just looking at them!
ReplyDeleteThose socks ARE very happy! I love to crochet granny squares, but it seems to bother my wrists these days. Oh the joys of getting old....
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom gives suggestions for names! Sometimes it's difficult to name a project.
ReplyDeleteI like naming the things I'm working on, infact I like naming things in general! Well done with the granny squares they look great!
ReplyDeleteTotally loving the Super Awesome Happy Rainbow socks...I just love stripey socks.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the crochet side! We have cookies ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the granny squares - I never worry about little mistakes in anything, pretty much, unless it's vital. I figure if anyone's looking close enough to notice, they're looking too closely! And if they care, that's their problem not mine :D Looks like you're having fun, and that's the main thing.
I like the fact all your socks have to have name. I think it's a great idea. Well done on your granny squares. The colours are fab.

Your socks and squares are awesome. And yes knitting projects should be named. Ha! I love that action movies make you knit faster. I have to try that, but I always get caught up in the movie. Of course I have been knitting to Cranford. Maybe that's why I am so slow. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! I've been super tempted to purchase that color myself, though not for socks. The variety and color of your projects this week is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those socks! That yarn looks like so much fun. Pretty impressive pile of granny squares too.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! And the fact that you're crocheting Halloween-themed granny squares with no particular purpose. That's all kinds of awesome! I can't wait to see what they grow up to be! :)
ReplyDeleteYour link wasn't working this morning, but now I've checked back after work and voilà! Love the rainbow coloured socks. My projects tend to name themselves in my head, but perhaps I'm just peculiar that way :)
ReplyDeleteThose socks are the coolest ever. All your knitting is great but those socks just make me feel happy when I see them!
ReplyDeleteI love the rainbow socks! They are looking great! I'm definitely going to have to make a pair for myself.
ReplyDeleteThose are some tough colors to photograph. I hate when you try a bunch of different shots and lights and every one looks different.
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow socks, but really love their name more! :-)
If you didn't say that you made a mistake, I would not notice it
ReplyDeleteThe socks are so so funky and I am loving the grannies :)
