Test Knit 4

My friend Wendy and hopefully Sharon are test knitting "Socks for his Nibs" while I wait to become a designer on Ravelry.  I made a smaller version for our employee Mirelys and right hand women:)))

I made a pair of toe up socks using Cat Bordhi's Riverbed Master pattern for Martin, which Mirelys admired.  What else could I do but make her a pair:).  I had to cut the yarn in a few places to make the pattern match up.  Mirelys was tickled, at least she was a good actress.
I've started another pair for Martin to make sure that the heel is perfect.

I'm off to Montreal to visit Juanita for a few days. I'm hoping she's feeling lazy and wants to sit around and watch movies.  I'm looking forward to knitting a bit.  Happy Holidays everyone.

One foot forward, two back

I'm trying to learn how to add a PDF File to the blog and on the way saw that I could have my Flickr pictures as a slideshow. Well many hours later and all I have to show for it is a calender on the sidebar. I guess things could be much worse, I might not have learned anything.
Sorry was just having a bit of a rant.

First PDF

Thanks to Oftroy I've made my first PDF. Only took 3 trys but I finally managed to download the free software from OpenOffice.

I've now test knit "Socks for his Nibs" two more times. There is still on tiny glitch I need to work out before I publish.

It's not a difficult sock pattern but I'm so excited I could burst at the seams:))

Next step to become a designer on Ravelry, the skies the limit.

Socks for his Nibs

Yeah!!! I've designed my 3rd pair of socks. I may actually try and publish this one for free on Ravelry. I'll have to learn how to create a PDF File and how to become a designer on Ravelry, hopefully it won't be too hard.

They are very plain toe up with fancy gusset and proper heel flap. They have a simple 2 stitch cable running up the side out of the joining of the heel flap and the gusset. Seeing as I'm not famous yet:) I've had to test knit my own pattern. I finished the test knit this evening and will take pictures tomorrow. I'm off to bed to rest up for all the things I need to learn.
