So, I've been away for a very long time!! I've been KNITTING!! Not much paper crafting going on here but LOTS and LOTS of socks! I joined a yahoo group that knits 6 pair of socks a year and my first KAL (that's Knit A Long) was a pair of TOO CUTE socks, Hug ME that can be found on Ravelry.com. I designed a Baby Hug Me Sock and can't figure out how to "publish" it as per thier requirements so here it is! Baby Hug Me Socks

I have some sock yarn remnants and I am going to cast on a pair right now! I'll let you know how they come out8O) THanks so much. By the way, my baby socks all go to an orphanage. And, I have a rescued Pitty too!
ReplyDeletei have 12 stitches on my needle and it says: knit 18 stitches onto needle 1, however i have 2 needles with 12 stitches on each? how do i add 18 stitches? thankyou
ReplyDeleteI want to make these for a young lady at work having her first baby. I think she will be thrilled to get them. We don't know if it is a girl or boy yet but I think these will be darling in any color. I'll just pick one that both sexes can wear. Thank You for sharing
ReplyDeleteI am SO sorry for the delay, I just haven't had the time to blog and I've not even looked for comments! (hangs head in shame!) You found a typo THANK YOU! There are 36 stitches so there are 18 stitches per needle not 12! Again, So Sorry!
