Test knit socks_III

Done! My very 1st pair of knitted socks! Never knew it's so easy to knit a pair of socks!

Here's d web for anyone who's interested to learn too.

And I added d basic Cable pattern that's from here :
Rnd 1: P1, (K3, P1) 3times. rep to end of round (rnd).
Rnd 2: same as rnd 1.
Rnd 3: P1, (SL1, K2, P1) 3times. P1, (K2, SL1, P1) 3times. rep to end of rnd.
Rnd 4: same as rnd 3.
Rnd 5: P1, (C3F, P1) 3times. P1, (C3B, P1) 3times. rep to end of rnd.
Rnd 6: same as rnd 1.

abb:
C3F = slip next st onto cable needle & hold at front of work. K next 2 sts, K1 from cable needle
C3b = slip next 2 sts onto cable needle & hold at back of work. K next st, K2 from cable needle

Test knit socks_II

Just an update on d socks knitting. It's actually coming along very well, faster then I originally thot it would take. I even added Cable pattern to it. Almost finished with 1 side!

Test knit socks

With friends in town visiting, I didn’t have time to try anything new till now. I have never knitted socks be4 & with Hayden growing up, thot I give it a try so I can knit socks for him as & when he grows. But after searching d web, I found out that knitting socks is NOT easy. Most ppl used 4-5 open needles & I find that troublesome. Thus, when I finally found this web that teaches sock knitting on circular needle, I grab it immediately. So using d bal yarn from my tote, I started knitting my very 1st pair of socks!

Hayden's Vest

I finally finished kintting Hayden's vest. Actually, I finished 2weeks ago but size not right, so I undo it & re-knit again. However, hubby thinks it's still too small. True enough, tried it on & Hayden's head is just too big. d rest fit ok but problem getting d head through.. sigh. guess I have to undo & re-knit again..

Knitting

Hubby flew off last nite to KL for buz trip, thus, my job to prepare & send Hayden to school. Guess what! I didnt check d volume of my iPhone & thus, alarm didnt sound off this morning @ 7am! OMG! Lucky, Hayden started moving ard & woke me ard 7.25am, so, made it to school by 8am. Phew!

& I mgd to go back to sleep after coming back from his school till 12.30pm when my hubby woke me up by smsing from KL. So I wash up & went to Central ChitLom StarBucks to have my Green Tea Latte while working on my knitting (which is coming along well). Am doing this so that I can save some electrical w/out having d aircon on throughout d whole day. Cause it's really HOT here in Bkk & my electric bill has been gg up since I become a homemaker! I have been gg there for 3times since last week. Not even sure this will cut down my electric bill but definitely up my cash spending so far!
