On The Needles - August 21, 2015

I couldn't quite make up my mind which yarn to use next for my next pair of socks, so I picked a completely different one that I've been wanting to try.  I decided to make a pair of the short footies that someone posted recently (sorry, right now I can't remember who, but I put it on my "to do" list immediately).  They are called Rose City Rollers and it is a free pattern on Ravelry HERE.  I figured they would go quickly and I can wear them before winter in my tennis shoes, Here's how far I got this week.  I have been busy finishing a custom quilt so not much time was spent with my knitting needles. .


They are knitting up pretty quickly with a slight variation in the pattern than I'm used to.  I'm using Panda Superwash yarn which has bamboo, wool and a little nylon.  They feel very soft and cushy.

    I always enjoy seeing what you're knitting, especially since I don't make the pretty things you do. The yarn color is beautiful, and that the socks will be soft and cushy too will make this pair even better. Lovely work!

    Pretty yarn! I'm not a knitter, but I used to crochet. I love all the pretty yarns I see on other people's blogs.

    Those footies are looking good... I made a pair of socks with that Panda yarn years ago. It is nice for summery socks like those footies...happy knitting.

    They look great, Dar! I love the color of your yarn. I'll be interested to hear if you like the rolled top.
