Little Girl's Rollercoaster

I made a pair of Rollercoasters for my 4yo daughter. She picked out the yarn! We used Trekking XXL (pink stripe) on a US 1 1/2 magic loop. I CO 60 sts and modified the stitch pattern as follows:

row1--(p1, k5, p3, k5, p1) repeat 4 times
row2--(p1, m1, k3, k2tog, p3, ssk, k3, m1, p1) repeat 4 times

She loves them! And I loved this pattern. Thank you, Anni!

Rollercoaster Socks

Hey I can sit up longer now and the girls have helped me download the photos. Thank you for your kind words. I so love knitting these socks. Hard to believe April is on Wednesday. Wow the time flies

Here's mine......

This is my pair, first I've done after just joining. Lovely pattern will knit some more, and these are for me LOL.

Looking forward to April's pattern!

Rollercoaster socks

I love these Rollercoaster socks and my congrats to all of you who finished them in time. So many lovely pictures and socks. For me is it a little bit to late to start them now and finish them in time.

Im done but I had a bad miscarriage and was taken to the ER Thursday and Friday due to excessive bleeding. I have had my girls take a picture and hopefully I can download the picture and post tomorrow. I am on bed rest till Thursday. Your socks all look wonderful

Rollercoaster - modified

Patons Kroy Stretch US2 - modified toe up. Once I started knitting the pattern, I realized that the varigated yarn was hiding the pattern, so I ripped back and knitted the foot plain. I added a cuff because when I didn't like how the edge wanted to curl. As much as I like to look at varigated yarn, it just doesn't work for me - - - I must resist purchasing anymore varigated yarn.

Thank you for another great pattern.

March Rollercoaster socks...

Here is my rollercoaster...

The yarn is Harry Potters Dumbledore and I just love it...
Just like the pattern...
Thank you Annie...

Have a nice day//Birgitta

Rollercoaster complete

I am happy to have these completed within the month. I loved that this pattern was easy to remember and also loved what it did to break up the stripe. My feet do not handle a pattern well on the top of the foot so I did switch to stockinette stitch. Hope that is okay. Thanks so much for a great pattern. I look forward to next month... Kim

My finished Rollercoasters

Hello,

Yesterday evening I finished my pair of Rollercoasters. I used "Ewas Sockenwolle" in the colourway Baltic Sea. The pattern was quick and fun to knit. Thanks a lot, Anni!

Rollercoaster for Spring

Beautiful socks; and a great pattern for my finally dwindling supply of self striping yarn. It's fun that the cuffs make flowers.

Thanks for another wonderful pattern, Anni.

Rollercoaster

Another fun pattern! Thanks Anni!

Loved the knitting, love the fit, love the pattern, love the yarn.

Did I mention I love these socks? :D

Yarn: Regia Silk Color
Needles: 2.5 mm DPNs
Mods: Worked a deeper gusset and a wide toe.

Thanks for another great pattern, Anni.

This month I'm in again. Now with a fresh start and are traying to hang on with the rest of the months.
Sorry the bad pictures, but it was the best I could do!
Looking forward to next month!

No wool sockclub/ first pair of socks!

Yesterday I finished my first pair of socks of the NO WOOL SOCKCLUB.

The blend (organic cotton/ tencel) is awesome, so soft!

Look, aren't they lovely?

I got gauge!

I got gauge!!! Probably for the first time ever when knitting socks...Funny thing is that the socks always fit me, even if I haven't got gauge (or especially since I don't get gauge..) Soooo-these are on the smaller side-LOL! I blame it on the yarn though, the gauge thing. I've tried a new one:

Frost from Gjestal. Soft and nice to knit with, but a lot thinner than my usual Silja/Senja.

As usual knitted top down, two-at-a-time, magic loop, on 2.5mm circulars. Nice, quick, easy pattern, and a yarn that actually works with the pattern. Legs are knitted 20 cm long, they are for me;-) ...even if they are a bit small due to gauge...:-D

New pattern and February winners

I've just uploaded the new pattern for March to the Google group. It's called 'Rollercoaster' and has columns of purl stitches and chevron pattern. It's only a 2 row pattern repeat and it's very quick and easy. If you want to knit it toe up intstead it's very easy to reverse the pattern.
I got my daughters to draw the winners before they went to school this morning. I give them the list of numbers and they give me a number each. And the winners are.....

Not Just A Mom and Barb W.

Congratulations ladies. E-mail me on yarnaddictAThotmailDOTcoDOTuk to let me know which yarn you'd like. You can choose any skein from my shop.

Well done to everyone for completing February's socks. and good luck to everyone with the March socks.

Happy knitting,
Anni

Late Valentine socks

I just made it, but they are ready. A present for my niece. They are made from Ewas sockengarn, Hummer. Thanks for a great pattern, I am, as always, looking forward to next month pattern.

February socks are finished!

I had fun knitting these despite having the second sock give me problems. Stupid little errors that I had to go back to fix. On to March!

Sylvia

February???

Oh my it is already the 24. Alas I have only wond my beautiful club yarn into a ball. Morning sickness has kept me from doing a whole lot this month. Hopefully I will be able to do next months socks. I should only be sick for one more month and then later in my pregnancy I normally can't sleep so then I can do Feb's wonderfull socks. I love all your socks, they have turned out beautiful.

Scroll Down

Not for February's draw, of course, but four months after the pattern came out, I've finally got around to making Scrolls! =)

I used the discontinued Knit Picks Dancing (Square Dance) that I've had in my stash for a few years, and I'm really happy with how they've come out. The cotton content should make these a nice pair of summer socks.

I ripped the original heel back, and knitted a plain flap instead because the texture of the stitches in this particular yarn felt really uncomfortable. KP Dancing isn't soft! I also worked a wide toe (from Nancy Bush's Folk Socks), which is my current favourite. Oh, and I offset the pattern for sock #2 to make it a mirror image of the first.

Thanks for the patterns, Anni. I fully intend to get more of them knitted up, honest! =)

Here is my valentine...

The yarn is merino I think, I have had it for a while and find it when I look for yarn to this project.
As usual the pattern where great.
Than you Annie

Have a nice day you all//Birgitta

Valentine sock

Here is my valentinesocks. I love the pattern. Thanks Annie. Can´t wait to next month pattern.

Valentine Socks

I really did take heed when Anni said to use calm yarn, but this yarn has been in my stash for quite a while, and I remembered it as white yarn with little flecks of red. Apparently my memory is not what it once was.

Wacky yarn choice aside, this was a fun pattern; not memorizable for me, but also not something that required intense concentration.

The casual observer can't see the hearts, but I know they're there and I love this pattern. I used a flap and gusset heel and have the rib pattern all the way down the back of the sock.

Thanks Anni - can't wait for March.

hearts of love

the hearts are hard to see in a pictures

i finished mine and they are lovely, i used the new malabrigo sock yarn and it is so soft and yummy.

thank you for a beautiful pattern

...in time...

Done in time...;-) Knitted top down, in Silja 358 from Gjestal, 2,5mm circular needles, two-at-a-time. Quick and easy. I carried the twisted stitches down the heel. Thanks for another cute pattern, Anni:-)

Be My Valentime Socks Completed

Be My Valentime socks knitted top down inside of toe up. I used Berrocco Ultra Alpaca in a dark red. The hearts are very subtle, difficult to see in the photo, but they are there.

Thank You!

Thank you so much Anni! It is absolutely lovely yarn! I really appreciate your generosity. I have enjoyed knitting your patterns this last year.

Thanks again,
Sylvia
