New socks...



2 new pairs of socks... I cast on for a pair of Holey socks last night. These socks will be for myself.
I also started a sock that I call "Barn Socks" which is a new design that I hope to have finish and tested by the end of July.
We had a big turn out at the 2-at-a-time socks class at Chix with Stix in Lenoir, NC. Looking forward to doing it again next weekend!
I have also been dyeing a lot of yarn today. I have been dyeing Ecstasy in some new colorways and I love it! This base yarn is to "dye" for (pardon my pun) and I am loving the new colors. There are 3 of them, and they are pastels. Pictures to come soon!
I also have a new furry creature of the feline type. She was a rescue from the streets that Forgotten Felines of Forsyth brought in to the hospital to have spayed Friday. She captured my heart and now lives with me here. I will post photos as soon as I get them. She settled in a little too well! She loves the dogs. B loves her, a little too much, but she is doing well with it!

2 socks at a time...


I love this method! It is the end of second sock syndrome. I am currently teaching classes at yarn shops in North Carolina using this method. It is a life saver for me.
Here is a pair that I am working on using Nature's Choice in the Backyarnigans colorway. I am loving Nature's Choice (bamboo blend) for summer socks, and so are my customers!


I have several new base yarns and have redone part of the site.
I am in love with Endurance and Ecstasy. They are fabulous. I also love Bambaby. It is a green yarn and perfect for baby sweaters (which is what I love knitting).
A new alpaca yarn in DK weight and a Suri alpaca and BFL fingering weight yarn.
I am really excited about carrying these new yarns!

Updated Etsy shop, FO, WIP...

I have updated the etsy shop with a couple of new colorways (etsy.com/knitfitknitting) but only a few skeins are available.



I am in the process of moving and am just getting started back up full force.



I also have a FO! Wow, that's been awhile... It is a sock in my own design and my own yarn... pattern will be free on my web site (I will also post here when it is done) and the colorway will be available soon as well.







Believe it or not I have never made a pair of socks using the monkey pattern. Well I cast on last night! I am using some yarn I dyed myself and some of my stitch markers as well. Fittingly I used little monkies!

The rest of the new yarns are still drying... photos when they are done!

Such a bad blogger...

I know I know, I need to blog more than every 2.5 months. I am working on it. I am in the process of dyeing a bunch a spring colors. Hopefully I can skein them and post photos tomorrow. I am also sending new colorways to some LYS carrying my yarn.
There are several sock patterns being tested as well. Watch out for them.

Busy week!

Well, I did finish my hat! Will upload photos this evening.
On Monday Febe had a litter of 2 adorable male pups! An Apricot and a Black. Alfredo and Cole are their names.
Also my wheel came! YAY! My boyfriend was so good and helped me finish it and he put it together for me! He is awesome. I am still getting used to it, but I know I am going to LOVE it!
Unfortunately today I am too busy updating the shop to spin. Lots of stuff going up today. New patterns this week.
I LOVE the pattern for the sock club this month, it is gorgeous! (if I do say so myself!)
I will post on here later when the shop is all updated.
I also got a new "day job" this week which I love. Things went horribly wrong at my old job and I needed to move on. So overall, it has been a good week!
Be back soon!
