Not much to show

It's been a really slow week craft wise. Mom, Dave, and I all had appointments this week... dentist, hair dresser, doctor... and each of those appointments seems to take up an awful lot of time. I also subbed this week. I can get by with tatting when subbing at the middle school or high school, but not at the elementary school!

I spent a lot of time reading this week. I'm thorough enjoying The Knitty Kitties Mysteries. I'm almost finished with the third book. The first three were free, and I'm seriously considering purchasing the last three books in the series. They're a light hearted, easy read, and that's the type of book I like at this time of year!

I did make a little progress on my sock weight spiral knit tube sock. I'm glad I've been practicing with less expensive sock yarns. My tension seems to be improving as I move along.

The petticoat for Kara's doll is coming along very slowly. This needs to be 5.5" long. I'm not even halfway there yet!

I did not work on my Star of Bethlehem doily at all this week. We had a few hot and humid days in the middle of the week, and I had no motivation to do anything other than sit and read for those few days. Let's hope I feel more motivated this coming week!

Another sock pattern


I subbed all day today, so I was too tired to concentrate on anything complicated after school. As I was working on my worsted weight spiral knit socks, I kept thinking about making them in sock weight yarn. This is Lion Brand Magic Stripes, a color that has been in my stash for a while. 

The pattern is Spiral Socks without Heel Pattern #311 and can be found here: https://freevintageknitting.com/print/1020

This is very similar to the pattern I just finished. There are more stitches, and the pattern is K4, P4. The pattern on the previous pair was K3, P3. There will be no finishing a sock in one day this time!
