70"s Masonic Lodge Socks

Here are the latest pair of socks.  
I still need busy work for the evening and socks seem to fit the bill nicely. 

I just can't knit all evening  as my wrists get sore

The 16 rows K2P2 rib and the heel are in Saltwater the rest is Seventies Stripes

I modified the pattern so that front of foot has have 2 cables twisting out with a rib panel between
Back is all rib panels as set in original pattern

66 rows pattern, 32 rows for heel, turn heel, 70 rows pattern, decrease toe
Toe decrease: alternate rows to 42 stitches and then every row to 14 stitches 

Plain blue cuff and heel and one coloured skein make one sock with about 12 inches of coloured yarn to spare
Stripes on both socks are almost perfect match and that was just luck

G's Slate Spirit Socks

G asked for a pair of hand knit socks. 

Not sure if he was serious but I took him at his word. 

He has very big feet so he has trouble finding socks to fit

Here they are:

The foot is exactly one foot (12 inches ) long so I hope that they fit

The rib pattern makes them quite narrow but stretchy so they should fit comfortably

Purple Haze Scarf

Here is a scarf to go with the new hat and mittens
Little to write about
A very easy pattern no problems just knitting until it was long enough

 

I added 4 rows of garter stitch at both ends and 2 knit stitches at both ends of each row to stop curling
It's made a firm fabric so I could have used a larger needle but it is fine as it is

Purple Haze Hat

 It seemed that a hat to go with the mittens would be nice
So here is a simple hat using the same rib pattern as mittens

I made this up as I went along

In summary:

Cast on 152 stitches
rib: 20 rows K1tbl, P1
body: k1 P3
Crown:  12 decreases spaced evenly on alternate rows to 12 stitches

I used more than 1 ball of yarn but luckily had the leftovers from the mittens

It took just about 3 balls for both projects

Purple Haze Mittens

 I needed something to keep my hands busy in the evenings and MRR has needed and kept 2 pairs of my mitts

So some slightly dressy but not fancy ones were needed

A fine yarn seemed like a good idea so sock yarn would be a good choice and I wanted a fairly dense fabric

All of which led me to this pattern

I love the colours in this yarn and they will go nicely with all my winter coats
