Working away on some Knitting

 I have been a pretty monogamous knitter so far this year. I have been finishing one project and moving on to the next. I am still working away on these socks:

 Almost done my Number 2 Pencil Socks! just a few more rows until I finish! So freaking excited! 

This sock yarn blanket is my ever-ongoing project. I knit some new squares along the right side. I added my feet to give you a sense of its size.


 And of course I bought some more sock yarn... I have a problem. Instead of making my stash of sock yarn smaller, I keep adding to it!!! But I HAD to have this yarn. I had to. It is in Biscotte & Cie's Felix Self-Striping yarn in the Go Habs Go colourway, and since the Montreal Canadiens are my favourite team, I just HAD to get this yarn. Makes sense, right?

Sock yarn hoarding

Everyone knows I love sock yarn. I told myself that I wasn't going to buy myself anymore until I had destashed all the yarn I already had. Well one thing led to another and I have completely broken my vow of yarn celibacy. Yarn just seems to sing to me, call my name and force its way into my hands. I guess that just means I have to knit myself some more socks!

 Some DK weight sock yarn in a lovely mint green colour. I can't wait to knit myself some beautiful knee high socks with this.

Gorgeous sock yarn that I got from my local LYS as a gift. Love it!
 
 This is some pretty lime green sock yarn from Design by Lily Go. It is some RendezVous Forever Sock Yarn in Sour.
 
I am so excited about this sock yarn. It is going to be some Number 2 Pencil Socks when they are all knit up. I bought this from Yarnenabler  and there are some other beautiful sock yarns that I would love to get.

Now I just need to get all my Christmas knitting done so I can start making myself more socks.

New Sock Yarn

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I was gifted some more sock yarn this past week and I am pretty excited to work with it. 
 Malabrigo Sock in Impressionist Sky

 An unknown sock yarn that I thought was Estelle Yarns's Sockittome Impulse but I am no longer sure about that after looking at the colours they have and two balls of Patons Kroy Socks in Kool Stripes. 

I also was gifted an extra-small, small and large sock blocker. from Burning Impressions.

New Stuff

Bought some more sock knitting related stuff this week:

Why yes, I did buy more sock yarn. Snowberry & Lime's Sock Yarn in Faded Lilacs. 

 The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet Vol. I . I had to buy this one from the American Amazon site, since the Canadian one did not have it. It is a beautiful collection of patterns based on botanical illustrations. There are a lot of sock designs that I cannot wait to try out.


The Knitter's Book of Socks is another collection of sock patterns that has all kinds of beautiful designs in it.

I need help...

I can't stop buying sock yarn. How am I supposed to stop buying yarn when they are so pretty?!?


When I visited my parents last weekend, my mom and I went into Tricotine & cie. It is a gorgeous yarn store with such a great selection that I could not resist buying this yarn. Couleurs Mouton's Kargil in Souris Rose.
