Three of the goals on my 2013 list are knitting related, (knitting 12 pairs of socks in a year, finishing this blanket<\/a>, and knitting 13 Tiny Owl Knits patters for those of you following along at home). It doesn’t matter that I totally suck at knitting sweaters or that my guage is so often painfully much too big or much too small. When I started reading knitting blogs I was sure I’d be a brilliant knitter as soon as I could knit complicated socks. By that logic, I’m extremely brilliant because all I knit are complicated socks. Socks with colorwork, socks with lace, socks with cables, all if it! Attaching arms on a sweater, not so much, but complicated socks I can do.<\/p>\n

I finished one pair of socks for Wee One #1, one pair of socks for my girl Sammie<\/a>, one for Wee One #2’s godmother and a pair of baby socks for my friend’s new baby that I didn’t post about. Onward!<\/p>\n

These are the ones I made for Wee One #1. The pattern is called Winter Lace Socks<\/a> by Barb Brown Designs<\/a>. I made them in Knit Picks Comfy Fingering in Jalape\u00f1o. He loves them and wears them to bed! <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I’m most excited about these babies, they’re going in the mail tomorrow to my kitchen soul mate and sister from another mister, Sammie. <3 The pattern is called Socks of Kindness<\/a> (so fitting for her). I’ve made them once before in a bright blue for Wee One #2’s senior kindergarten teacher. So so pretty. It was her birthday last week and so far this year I’ve bene negative two weeks on getting things in the post on time. At least they get there, right? These ones were knit up from Knit Picks Felici Sport self-striping in Marsh.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

These are a Christmas gift that has still yet to leave the house. Terrible, right? I know, I know. In my defense the recipient has not sent ours down either haha. Hilariously, I made these as one of the first Christmas knitting projects! They are for Wee One #2’s godmother, the pattern is called Basket Case Socks<\/a> and these were knit in Knit Picks Comfy Fingering in Peapod. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

These little cuties are sooooo adorable, they’re painful to look at. I made a pair in pink for Sammie’s baby girl in the fall and they look just as cute in blue! The pattern is called Garter Stripe Baby Socks<\/a> and I made them from very pretty yarn my sister sent me for my birthday. Nikkiiiii, what yarn is this?!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Yesterday I started a dishcloth on size 6 needles after only making socks and working on my puffs (for this<\/a>) on very small needles and I felt like a vampire slayer. Not that size 6s are at all big, but most of my sock needles are toothpick-like so regular needles see huge.<\/p>\n

I’ve been doing a pretty good job of knitting up my hexi-puffs from the leftover sock yarn at the end of each pair. I’m up to 234 now! I have listed in the sidebar and on my project page<\/a> on Ravelry that I need 400 but it might be a whole lot more than that. Once I hit 400, I’ll lay them out and see if that’s even close. It’s going to look so sweet when it’s done I don’t even care how long it takes. Just look at this one<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Now…which pattern to choose<\/a> next?!<\/p>\n
