all I want for Christmas is my.....

SOCKS!!!!

Every Christmas I knit socks for gifts. Some years I will knit lots of socks and other years, I will knit at least one pair. And one pair was all I mustered this year. But its a good one!

I really liked knitting this pair, they actually seemed to knit up quickly. Quick is good.... my only beef with knitting socks is the time it takes..... but no beef here.

The pattern is a series of triangles designed end to end.  The pattern name is Mosaic Tile Sock and is available on Ravelry.  The pattern is easy to memorize and definitely helps the speed of completing the project. The bright color, Neon Peach, may actually be brighter in person.  At times I felt like my retinas may have been seared, like staring at the sun...... they are that bright.

The yarn is Madelinetosh Tosh Sock, color is Neon Peach and 385 yard of Superwash Merino wool yarn. Its a beautiful hand-dyed yarn of bright pink and bright orange.  My inner 11 year old self would squeal in delight over this hue.

As for a quick holiday update..... I gifted a 2 scarves, a pair of socks and a crocheted blanket.  Much less than previous years but all were received with joy and gratitude.....that's what its all about.....

Hope you and yours enjoyed a warm & wonderful holiday with family & friends.

Until next time.......Happy Knitting!

Hi Krista,
I really liked the Treillage Lace Scarf and Wrap and I purchased the pattern. I wanted to make a scarf for my daughter. I received the pdf file. However I'm more used to read the design in drawing pattern with symble such as | X O etc, i don't know how to read the pattern on the pdf file. Would you provide me the pattern in drawing?

for example, on the bottom of this link http://www.straw.com/cpy/cpy9612.html
has the pattern drawing that I can read.

Thanks,
shirley
