The Start.

      Welcome to my very first blog post. I have not attempted this kind of thing before so I guess I will see how it goes. In case anyone is wondering I have named this blog after my wonderful doggy Jake, my DS and I  adore the "old man."


     I started this blog to keep a record this year of all the projects I have either finished or am currently working on at present. So I will get right to it. Right now I am working on a couple of pairs of socks one for myself and one for my son.  First of all I will start with my son's socks I am making The Weasley Homestead by Erica Lueder. Using stroll tonal in Foliage. Right now I am just starting the third pattren repeat on the body of the first sock and just moving right along. My son is loving how quick they are working up, I have to admit that I am also loving this. The pattren is great. I am using a 1.5mm 40" circular working in magic loop.




And now onto my socks, and yes there is kind of a theme going here. For myself I am making Hermione's Everyday Socks also by Erica Lueder. Again with the stroll tonal in the colorway Canopy, which is a lovely green. Using a 2.75 mm 40" circular needle working in the magic loop. I am just three or four rows past the spot where I have added the waste yarn for the afterthought heel.




Well I think that is about all for this post so I hope everyone has a good rest of the week. Blessings to you all.
