I've started a pair of slipper socks for my dd. I'm kind of stalled on it. I've been distracted by snowflakes and bookmarks. I also started a baby cardigan. :eek

 

Despite my serious feeling of overwhelm. My plan is to participate in a CAL with the crochet socks group on yahoo, using the Mardi Gras sock pattern. You can get it on e-pattern central for a dollar but it is also in Crochet Stocking Feet book by AA. I also want to finish the socks I started for dd because ds wants some too.

I think I'm getting addicted to CALs. I might as well join this one too! I'm making some socks for my SIL for her birthday on the 30th. She loves crazy colored socks. I hoping to get 2 pairs made for her. I posted a pic of the first one in my blog about halfway down the page. I have the second one about halfway done but had to put them down for the Christmas rush. Btw, this is my first time making socks. I hope her feet are about the same size as mine!

 

Don't you hate it when someones birthday kinda sneaks up on ya?!?

I have a pair of socks on my hooks right now - socks my dh has been nagging me for forever! - Oxford Style socks (from Crochet Socks book) in black & grey. If you scroll down a bit on this link you'll see the very beginning of these socks.

 

I'm also planning on doing the Mardi Gras pattern from e-pattern central with the Yahoo crochet socks gang.

 

My kids are asking for socks too....

I think I'm going to join in this one, too. I have sock yarn, but I had a problem with the last pattern I used-I think my tension was too tight. So I'm going to try it with the pattern Renee posted. That yarn has been looking at me rather forlornly the past month. :D

Thank you! How long did it take for you to finish up those socks?

 

It's so pretty, too....I splurged on Blue Sky Alpacas sock yarn in an LYS when I went to visit family. So now I feel extra bad since it cost a bit extra. ;)

Renee, I LOVE those socks. I don't think the cuffs are too much; they are just soooo neat.

 

 

Dani, My version made up very quickly because I used heavier than sock yarn. I was finished on day two I think.
