My Favorite Everything Socks

Table of Contents

My first package from the wonderful Woolens & Nosh yarn club was from October, 2023, and since it was my first, I wanted to make something special with it. So I decided to knit a pair of socks using all of my favorite components.

The yarn base is great. It’s 90% superwash Targhee and 10% Nylon, and it is a delight to knit with. The colorway is described as Our Seasonal Offering: House made butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter and sage cream sauce.

So My Favorite Everything socks start off with a generous twisted rib cuff, 3x1 ribbed leg, eye of partridge heel flap, and a wedge toe with the contrasting yarn. The 3x1 rib continues on the instep.

I think I might write this pattern up for Ravelry, just because I love the fit and the comfort of these socks.

Enjoy!

Day of the Dead Party Costume Plans

My plan is a dark vest with a themed lining, long sleeve shirt, and dark pants. To tie it all together, I found these great masks on ebay.

The first one is fairly tradition, well made and very comfortable. Thanks seller ktn.cybermart for offering these. The second is just too fabulous! I haven’t decided which to wear yet 🙂

Thanks to Joann.com I found some nice fabrics to work with.

I’ll post updates as I start working on the various pieces.

Squared Check Pattern

The Squared Check Pattern from Barbara Walker’s, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns Vol 1, page 19 is a lovely geometric pattern of alternating knits and purls. The result is architectural but still has a nice drape, and the pattern looks good on the reverse. I knit this with Berroco Vintage Chunky, colorway 6100, Snow Day.

Enjoy!
