Spring Has Sprung!

That's it! Winter is over (officially now that it is March 21). And we are going to act like it is spring. Long walks outside. Keeping an eye open for courageous early spring flowers. Packing away bulky winter clothes until next winter.

However. ......That doesn't mean we won't be knitting. We're not that crazy! And socks always seem like the perfect project for spring & summer. Portable, small, discrete enough to be knit in inconspicuously at church or at a crowded meeting. And perfect for spectator sports events.

So here are a few of our new favorites.

Lace knitting pattern on leg made with Ranco hand-dyed sock yarn from KFI

Tube Socks (no heel or gusset!) made with worsted weight Nature Wool from KFI. Pattern from Knitscene Spring 2008)
