Rockin Sock’em Battle- Update No. 3-More socks to complete

Here my socks my sock assassin's Bev Johnson and Nancy Holme completed for me, aren't they a gorgeous pair of socks.


Me wearing my socks what a perfect and very comfortable fit these socks are.
Now all I have to do now is finish Beth Wenmer's socks for her victim Joan Koeninger. It might be another long road ahead of me since I have to start one sock and work up to row/rnd 32 of sock 2 to catch up on the other sock to knit two at the same time.

Rockin Sock’em Battle- Update No. 2- My completed socks


This was my sock victim her name is Beth Wenmer, I now have to finish Beth's socks for Joan Koeninger whom is sitting next to Beth's left here with the black jacket on in this photo.
This is Bev Johnson (I) Cynthia J. Simmons was her sock victim.

This is Nancy Holme she was also Bev Johnson's sock victim. Nancy killed off Bev so Nancy had to finish the sock Bev was making for (me) Cynthia J. Simmons.

This is me Cynthia J. Simmons with my socks that I have been killed off with last Tuesday night at knitting group, that Bev Johnson started for me and was completed by Nancy Holme for me.

These are Beth Wenmer's socks that I received last Tuesday night at knitting group that I have to finish for her sock victim Joan Koeninger, I have to start with row/rnd 32 of the pattern.

These are all of our knitting group's completed socks so far.

April Snow!


The calendar says it is supposed to be April 18, 2011 but mother nature had other plans for this morning's light April snow showers. Also I love this picture at the top of my yard this morning where snow meets spring, so much for living in the midwest.

Knitting/Sheep Mug



After a my church's Rambler's walk in march, we stopped be a church member's house for hot chocolate, and I fell in love with this sheep mug called: Winter Woollies, wish I could have taken the mug home. I would be using it when I knit.

Because of the patterning detail on these socks, it was sure a challenge to knit. Also here is a the ravelry link to the sock pattern. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eleanor
