late to the party ~ Melissa





 

Finally got around to joining the two thousand plus knitters who have tried the classic 'Turkish Bed Socks' pattern by Churchmouse Yarn and Teas.  Fun.  Fast.  Easy.  A little more seaming than the average joe might like but I love doing the finish work on a project so it was a bonus for me.
 
Yarn was a gift from our own WillyG (thanks, Will!).  I'll be knitting these again with some modifications to see if I can make the ankle a bit more snug and add some pizzaz to the foot.  Love these.
 
 
Today we're off for a visit with mom to see if her mad crochet skills can fashion a Seahawks 12th Man Beer Can hat for Jason before Superbowl Sunday next week.  Wish us luck!

  3. You are further than me. I bought the pattern and then lost it somewhere so I had to buy the pattern again. At least you have a finished product, I just have one in my dreams.
