Grace Ennis Graphic Knitting Patterns Pipe Dream Socks, #7262 from 1953

This is just the leg portion of Sock #1 of Grace Ennis' Pipe Dreams but wanted to show some progress.

 This is knit using Knit Picks Palette yarn in Camel Heather as the Main Color, Black, Oyster Heather, Bison and Serrano.  The smoke is knit in Trendsetter Yarns 100% Angora yarn.  SO soft and fuzzy!

See!!

That fuzzy little stuff is EVERYWHERE!!  This is the front of my shirt.  Looks like I've been holding a CAT!  WOW!

Grace Ennis #7217 Triangle Overlay Socks

I cast on the Triangle Overlay Socks back in the summer and got so far, put them down and didn't think about them again.  I picked them back up last week and completed them.  They are really easy, large blocks of color, no floating.  The instep is another story.  I didn't do them as written.  Decided to knit this in the round after creating the heel and gusset, like any other top down sock.  Then I proceeded to pull too tightly and have a huge mess on sock 1.  RIPPED it out, said some not-so-nice words and made sure to leave a long span of yarn over the orange area.  TA DA!  Now, there are a million little ends to weave in this way rather than, say NONE, the other way, but oh well!

These were knit in Knit Picks Palette yarn using Corn Flower Blue, Oyster Heather, Cornmeal and Orange.

Little Red Monster Drink Cozy!

Bound off and Stitched up!  Ready for a beverage!

 

Cast On:  48 stitches in Red on US size 6 Single Point Needles.  Knit 3 rows.

Start chart and knit one direction, purl back.  Knit the last 3 rows.  If you want to taper the bottom of your cozy, Knit 2TOG on all 3 rows once at each end to decrease by 2.  The purple squares on the chart above indicate a decrease on that row.  You are going from 48 stitches to 42 in the end.  Bind off.  Mattress Stitch up the back.  Easy Peasy!!  I do tend to knit a little tightly so you may need to check and go down a needle size or two.

This would make a super cute Baby Bottle Buddy!  Just measure your baby bottle and take off the necessary amount of stitches.  Be sure to take the same number of stitches off of each side.  You can also lengthen this cozy to fit a Kleen Kanteen, etc., just use the same number of rows before the face and after the face to keep him centered!
