The Stitch Starter

Sock knitting is still so new to me, but I'm kind of stubborn when it comes to learning crafty hobbies 😂 I spent every free moment in April knitting these socks to get them both done within the month! And I'm very happy with them, and when it's sock weather again in the fall I can't wait to wear them!

I've managed to get a small amount of stitching done while I heal from my break and surgery. With the combo of q-snap and pillows I don't have to use my left arm/hand hardly at all. Which is good, because even though I've started physical therapy, I don't have much ability yet. Little by little!
Anyway, I sure love these pretty spring colors! Patten is by using a 28 count white pine fabric and called for floss

Happy February!!

I shared these on my stories but they deserve a place on my feed! I'm so happy I finished them in time for Christmas. Working with wool is intimidating but I'm getting better! The last 1 is for my 3 youngest children who passed away 💙💖🧡

Finished up a few floss folders for stitchy friends! I really love these things. Since i work on multiple projects at a time, it's nice to have 1 assigned to each project to keep the little threads contained.
