  7. Pretty, pretty, pretty! Sometimes LL yarn creates the most obnoxious swirls, but yours are just… so pretty!

  10. Do you have white cotton socks on underneath the Lorna’s? I may have to try that. I wonder why your Lorna’s looks nice and mine is all spiral-y.

  18. Wait a sec – you mean these knitting needle thingies work for making socks? How come you never mentioned it before?

  19. Just found this site. I have 8 dogs — live on 5 acres so have rooooom for them plus cows and cats. Five of the dogs are rescues; one is a young deafie girl, two are geriatric. I love them all. We do agility and competition disc with the puppers.

    Your dogs are lovely, just lovely. I’m an AVID knitter and that’s how I found you. What a great blog, what a fun read. What a great name — dogs DO steal yarn, yes they do. I’ll be back, often.

  20. Everyone’s raving about this silk long underwear. Is it really up to all the hoopla? I love the socks, by the way. I think the yarn accents the pattern quite nicely.

  21. Gorgeous! Gorgeous! I’m curious — do you do 2 socks on 2 circulars? Or do you knit one sock at a time? Either way, the results are inspiring.

  30. These are beautiful! One of these days I am going to get the hang of double pointed needles. That is something I just haven’t been able to do yet. But if I keep seeing great socks like these I am going to HAVE to figure out how to use those things!

  31. Those socks look great! I just got that book and I can’t wait to try it. I’m thinking of making the felted ones first so that if I f— up I can just felt it and no one will know. Your socks look great and I think I will make that my second project. I have 2 skeins of stretchy regia that’s burning a hole in my stash right now. Great job and very inspiring.
