The Lime & Violet Knit Along!

I Finally Finished!!

2008-05-28T11:54:00.000-07:00

It took me a LONG time, but I finally made my own pattern and finished my

L & V socks!!

one down....whew!

2007-09-23T12:42:00.000-07:00

I finally finished one sock, this knitting 2 socks on one needle is a bit*h...so I frogged several times and finally just did one using magic loop. It's perfect! I have cast on for the second...I hope I get it done.

Love the Lime & Violet color way!

Teeny L&V socks!

Hi there,
I've enjoyed seeing all the socks you guys have made, I just got my Lime & Violet sock yarn from Lisa Souza and it's gorgeous! I'm working on a pattern of my own and will post some pics when I get it worked out.

Happy Knitting!

Ashes to ashes....Dust to dust?????

Hellooooooooooo......................Is there anybody out there???

I'm not sure if this KAL is still active, so I will take advantage of that and post a crap load of pics.

Here are some socks I knit up for my niece in Lisa Souza's LimeNViolet colorway. I used size 1 needles, magic loop method, basic toe-up pattern.
Look how much I have left! I'm sure I could manage two more pairs. Sucha bargain. Loads of yarn!
The colors pooled very curiously, but I like the end result. Reminds me of the Matrix codes!

...where I bought a pair of Ernst Lime & Violet glass sockysock 12" circs. Gorgeous!

I almost bought the L&V dpns but that would have put me over budget. ($100 cash)

So now I will settle in with my Lisa Souza L&V sockysock yarn and attempt #8 try at completing a pair of socks.
(long story short - I have knitted and frogged the same sock 6 times, and casted on another sock on a different set of needles, but I can't find that sock bag WIP)

*sigh*

day 3, first socks

4 firsts....

2007-02-11T19:40:00.000-08:00

these are my first socks, first magic loop, first two socks on one needle, first kal!!

Ta Da!

There they are...my version of the Lime and Violet socks. Notice how the lower sock the colors match up and the top one's don't. It just happened that way. I was too busy fighting to draft the roving to worry about mixing or matching...it just did it for itself. Now I have a new pair of socks to keep my feet warm at night ;)

Late but finally, jaywalking

2007-01-14T02:22:00.000-08:00

About two weeks after finishing the socks, here are my Lime & Violet Jaywalkers!

Participating in the L&V Sock Marathon, I wanted the socks to be finished by January 1st, and indeen cast off December 31st, around 10 p.m.
I'm really happy with them - the colourway is just so beautiful, and both socks have symmetrical patterns in the leg and foot part.

Finished socks!

2007-01-11T08:14:00.000-08:00

I started these several months ago however they were relegated to the bottom of the To Be Knit pile after I messed up the heel. I finally got round to undoing and redoing the heel about a week ago, and finished them off today. Yay!

Pattern: My own devising, with minicable stripe down the side.
Yarn: Lisa Souza's Lime n Violet (of course)

Confession time...

I finished my socks several weeks ago...but I still don't have a picture of them....I'm a bit embarressed by them. The other sock doesn't look any better and its due to the thick and thin nature of my spinning.

Done Jaywalking

2007-01-01T14:27:00.000-08:00

Just in time to start the Sock Marathon, I finished my Jaywalkers. The color pooled so differently, but I love them.

Finished!

2006-12-31T22:08:00.000-08:00

Have finished my socks and have some yarn to spare :).
My first time using Lisa's yarn and I've already bought 2 more skeins - it's very nice to work with.

I played around with a welt-stitch pattern and I like how it's come out, not too much pooling.

Now I need to find some purple or lime to use with the leftovers for another pair.

Happy New Year all!

Here's the promised picture from my Jaywalker - knitting the heel right now on the second sock, hopefully finished before the Sock Marathon starts!

Not a LAV yarn project but

I just happened to come across this and in the spirit of the holidays...

Hello and overdue

2006-12-20T01:33:00.000-08:00

Hi there!

I joined the KAL about a week ago, and this post is really, as my caption states, long overdue.
I also chose the Jaywalkjers, simply because I never had knit jaywalkers before, and as this is my forth pair of socks I felt ready for them.
That's how the pattern came out during the cuff knitting:

From socks for blogs

I've already completed the first sock, but my cam is on strike, so no pics, sorry! Yet after the heel was completed, the pattern changed to a kind of light & dark spiral patches - someone here already knit the whole sock this way. Looks kind of nifty ;)

Finally Started

2006-12-15T08:39:00.000-08:00

I finally got going on my Jaywalkers. It's going pretty smoothly, although I'm having trouble keeping the increases looking neat. I'm starting the heel flap today!

I could possibly cry

2006-12-05T20:27:00.000-08:00

So it is a good thing that my socks are sleep socks. I used different sets of needles both size 2 dpns. The pattern and stitch count was the same also. I just did the all time knitting error of not checking gauge. I also am so into holiday knitting that I can't go and add length to the short sock. Good thing they are to sleep in.

So Far, So Good...

2006-12-04T15:50:00.000-08:00

I finally have a little something to post about :). I'm using Lisa Souza's "Lime & Violet" Sock, and it's the first time I've used her yarns, so there was never a question that this would be anything other than a pair of socks. It is very nice to work with and I'm liking how the colours are working with the pattern. It's been fun seeing the other things that some of you are making - and is keeping me inspired!

The Ungainly Sock

2006-12-01T15:07:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm waving the white flag of defeat...

The Thistle pattern was a bust...FROG....so I then tried a basic square shawl lace....the holes were lost in the mass of lime and violet....FROG.....

Only one thing left to try....socks.....

So here is the first one.

It is out of porportion because the cuff is ribbing and the foot is from yarn that was frogged. Once I wash and block it It should look better....knitting the second sock now, still using yarn that was frogged.

Socks complete!

2006-11-25T20:16:00.000-08:00

I finished these on Wednesday Nov. 22. They were going to be for me, but my boss saw one in progress and fell in love. She'll be really surprised when I give them to her at the company Xmas party.

Socks are my "mindless" projects, so the pattern is a plain stockinette, toe up, with a short row heel. I like the way they came out, although I must admit that Alcariel's modified Jaywalkers look way cooler. :)

Semi-success

2006-11-25T10:39:00.000-08:00

And I thought I was successful on my socks - I was plugging along, no second sock syndrome here....

I got through the second sock:

Only to find out that I don't know where I lost track of paying attention, because sock #2 is too short for my foot!! It's only good as a dachshund nose warmer. Groan. I don't want to undo it to try and fix it. I'm tossing my hands up on this one.

My Socks are Done!

2006-11-21T10:50:00.000-08:00

I finished my socks with the Lime & Violet yarn from Lisa Souza.....so cute, too. These are knitted top-down, only pattern that I know so far. I don't know what to do with the rest of the yarn, yet, but I'm looking for something that I can wear with the socks. Maybe I'll just make a skinny scarf, you know for fashion, not warmth.
