Quite some time ago, I participated in a project that didn’t come to fruition, but I had a couple of designs from it. So, I am finally getting them out. Well, one of them anyway. The other is with the test knitter. I have knit both of these, but the originals are, sadly, not available to me.
A special thank you to Raveler Catspaw who knit these up for me and provided pictures!
Hooch
Yarn: MadelineTosh Sock (shown in Green with Envy)
Needle: US Size 2

These are a fun toe up sock with a drunken rib cuff – and a fun XXX detail – a plain sock with a punch – sort of like the moonshine jugs of the past!

The Sophia bag was inspired by the need for a cool new market bag, wanting it to be in Tunisian Crochet, and Sophia telling me she never uses these bags because she doesn’t want people seeing what she bought!
Once I finished the market bag, I loved it so much, I wanted it to be my new yoga mat bag!

I am a little behind in announcing patterns that I have released. I should catch up with that – so here are lotsa socks!
My bestie – Danielle – hasn’t gotten anything knit for her in awhile. Mostly because I knit for the niece these days! But for (late) Christmas I knit her a pair of socks – and a pair for her sister Emily. I adore them both. And wanted them to know it.
Off Kilter
Yarn: Dizzy Blonde Studios Superwash Sock (shown in Hoarcrux)
Needles: US Size 1
Price: $5
This sock looks like it is cabled – but it isn’t! That is all SSK and K2tog! everyone thinks that this sock is WAY harder than it is!
Now – D and I are both pink girls, so I raided my stash for this awesome pink yarn for her!
Slipping Away
Yarn: Sweet Sheep Superwash Sock (shown in Project Spectrum Pink)
Needles: US Size 1
Price: $5
This one looks hard because it is slipped stitches with the yarn in the front – but I will tell you a secret – I started and knit this whole pair of socks on flights to and from CA and CT – this were plane socks! Super fast, fun and easy!
Lastly – I made these for me ages ago and just never released the pattern- silly Aimee!
Labyrinth
Yarn: Poppy Flower Fibers – I wish I could remember the base and color – sorry!
Needles: US Size 2
Price: $5
These are fun and have little twists all over – they are only 2 stitch baby cables, but they look super special and intricate!

Awhile back, I mentioned that I bought one and only one thing at SAFF – something for my friend Judi. She was here for a work visit, and I was able to catch up with her for dinner and knitting – and give her a little prezzie! (she also got to see my messy house since I was gone for the weekend before and well, super busy before I left – oops!)
Judi loves hats – and she looks amazing in them. She also loves teals and blues and greens. Ask her what colors she bought on our MadTosh binge when I visited her in August. uh huh. So, I went in search of a dk weight yarn that called JUDI!!! when I was at SAFF. Then I set out to design something for her.
Judi had two choices – name the pattern or have it named Judi – she picked the name Ami – which means friend. Which I think is just perfection!
Ami
Yarn: Miss Babs Nurthumbria DK in Dark Blue Teal
Needles: US Size 6
Price: $5
I sent the rest of the yarn home with her to make something with. I hope Judi wears the hat, and uses the rest of the yarn, with happiness and love. And remembers just how much her friendship means to me.
