My August Socks. I finished the first one on the first week, but the second one took long time. Lost some momentum on sock. I have been busying with other sister's twins baby sitting. They are starting to smile and laugh alot. They like to be all hold all the time. I tried to tell some story to them but I only recall one song with 90% of the wording. I am working a double knit blanklet for them. It's a slow start, and today's over 100 degree and it feel stinky doing knitting without AC and blashing ceiling. I am doing some quilting recently and hope to have some picture soon.

Monkey Sock Swap 3

Monkey Sock Swap #3 questions.

Do you consider yourself a beginning sock knitter, an intermediate, or have you been doing this so long you could probably knit a pair in your sleep?

I am an intermediate to advance. Most pattern I used is larger than my feet, and I adjust them as needed. I have been knitting socks more than 2 years.


The measurements:

Shoe Size: 5.5 or 6 depending of the brand

Foot circumference: 7-3/4"

Foot length: 6-3/4"

Yarn Preferences:What colors do you love? I like darker colors for socks, I tend to pick some purple with verigate yarns, but I love all colors.

Do you prefer solids or variegated? I like variegated more than solid. I tend to pick variegate color when I buy yarns. I only done 3 pair of solid, but I am happy to have anything that someone made for me!!


Do you prefer wool, cotton or acrylic yarn?
I can't wear wool well, and I usually pick either Bamboo or Cotton if I intend for myself.


What colors would you never wear? I like all color but I save the wild color to be look at.

What are your favorite brands of yarn? I have been knitting mostly OPAL, Regis...and I am happy to work with any sock yarn.


Are there any new brands you would like to try? Alpacca.

Do you have any allergies? No.

Will your knitting be exposed to smoke or animals? No.

Are you on Ravelry yet? No.
