Baby Sock knitting

So yesterday I was searching for baby sock patterns! I am going to sell these once they come together, and I get the hang of the pattern. I also may be donating these (especially the first pair) unless I fix this mistake to Neighbors Helping Newborns. The mistake should be easy to fix... but we'll see haha. Anyways. I tried a first sock pattern, but the instructions were a little difficult to understand than the second pattern I'm trying out. I'm working on the instep now, and could finish this sock today (or finish the pair rather today yay!) I'll keep you updated!

Happy knitting!

Hello!

I feel like I haven't blogged in the past couple of days, been busy knitting!! There hasn't really been much updates, although I've ripped out my Parrot socks (didn't like them..) Yesterday, I started new socks (but I'm not going to give out any details, but I am trying a new pattern!) I also mainly worked on my blanket. No, I haven't started knitting yet, but I'm about to.. also yesterday I knitted on the John Deere hat, but I haven't finished it either. (Sorry!) Still meditating if I should go through with these sets or frog them.. sad to say. I'm downloading more podcasts now, and about to watch while I knit. Right now it looks like it's storming weather (the weather's been nice up here yesterday, and I'm wearing shorts now!)

Anyways-Happy Knittings,
Anna Elizabeth Designs!

Honeysuckle Socks

I've been blogging lately on my Honeysuckle Socks and I've mentioned plenty of times starting over. Currently, I'm actually on the heel gusset! I could finish my sock (the first one) either today or this weekend-and could possibly finish the whole pair this upcoming week or weekend.. (we'll see). If I give myself deadlines-I'll stress. However you can find more details here on the Honeysuckle Socks. You do need an account for Raverly..

Happy Knitting!

Honeysuckle Socks!

So last night (I couldn't resist) as I blogged earlier today... I've began my not my second-but my THIRD pair of socks!! Socks are now so addicting and I always love a small project-especially to carry around while traveling or on a plane. On Saturday during the yarn trip day-I had worked on my Jellybean socks. I finally got some yarn for socks! So now I'm trying to decide to either do another set of tube socks.. or try that pattern I began with knitting socks (the Spring Mist socks)..

Happy Knittings!

a little slow on the first post of the day...

I woke up a little late than wanting to (at eight).. and I really didn't have a chance to blog or even check my facebook.. not even to change my status! But yesterday (yes I did finish my Jellybean socks! and they are posted on Raverly!) Last night I went to my knit night for Neighbors Helping Newborns.. and I helped out sewing some squares together for blankets. (I might be working on it later this week...) I'll also upload photos of the design-it wasn't really a design I created but just a bunch of squares sewen together..

Here's some knitting goals for this week:
1.) Secret Knitting (Let's call it that..)
2.) Sewen together squares for the blankets...
3.) Another pair of socks (Honeysuckle socks)
4.) My Disney Tank top..
5.) Summer Lace Scarf

Happy Knittings!

Jellybean Socks!!

So I just finished my Jellybean Socks before I left for my knit group today! I didn't have enough time to post an entry on blogger-or add the picture to Jellybean socks project tab on Raverly. (I barely had enough time to finish my socks themselves!) I love these socks a lot and I actually made them ankle socks... these are a lot better than my Juliet socks. (I have a feeling the more socks I make-the next one will be better than the last sock I made haha!)

Here are the photos!
1.) The FINAL presentation photo of this project.
2.) The progress photo of the project (this was the first sock..)
3.) Getting nearly close to the finishing point and the toe... exciting!

Jellybean Socks

So I dived into my yarn stash right away yesterday to start on my second pair of socks. This pattern I'm doing is so addictive! I found this colorful light blue, pink, yellow, purple colorway. I was hesitant at first (not sure why) since I'm saving other projects I want to start for tomorrow. I absolute love it, and I could if I really wanted to get this pair done by Sunday or at least earlier this week. I'm almost done with the first sock of this pair. Whoohoo!!

Happy Knitting

Juliet Socks are finished!!

I do have a Raverly page!! Yep, they are now up there! I didn't really want to put up the socks from the beginning on my Raverly page until now. As I type this I'm actually wearing them!! They feel sooo good, and soo comfortable I can't believe it. I loved the pattern I did, and I'm excited to cast on the next pair this weekend.

Happy Knitting!

First blog post. of the day... FINISHING!

Good morning!! Yes, I just woke up and I had not knitted yet. I do have very good news-I get to start the toe decreasing soon on my sock!! (I could do it now.. but may do just one more stripe just in case..) I worked so hard on it all day yesterday! Also today I'm finishing up not only my first pair of socks but the baby hat I was working on the other day. (Told you it would be awhile!) It could go on Etsy tomorrow.. (Etsy day).

I'll post a photo of both projects after they're both finished. I love the stages of knitting when it comes to finishing a project like this.

Happy Knittings!

Good morning!! & socks!

I would say it's been awhile since I last posted about knitting. But hello again! I actually have few updates about knitting this week, since mainly it's been cleaning this week. I've only worked on two projects which is a second pair of socks and a prayer shawl. The first pair of socks, my "Spring Mist socks" are hibernating when it comes to Raverly terms-or could be frogged. However, I started my second pair of socks and it's going well so far. My first design for my second pair of socks didn't turn out so well.... so I restarted them on Wednesday night. I'm using very thin sock yarn so it'll take me awhile to actually finish the pair (if I get to that point).

Another thing, not sure if I'm going to be posting this week. My boyfriend is coming up to visit me, and I'm excited!!

Happy Knittings,
Anna Elizabeth Designs!

Good morning Blogger!

I'm still waking up! (Even though I woke up 39 minutes ago... and already had breakfast...) So last night I had a bit of sock excitement, and I realized I'm so close to being done, and I'm about to finish my sock decrease. (I forgotten about that part...). I'm still learning how to knit socks-but around 9pm last night I was so itching to start my second pair, but I realized it's just best to start the project the next morning, and not late at night. (I would get frustrated). Photos will most likely come later on today after both socks are finished (the first pair).

Sorry it's not much for this morning, but it's where I am with the socks.
Happy Knittings!

Cleaning b4 knitting

I FINISHED MY FIRST PAIR OF KNITTED SITES! I said it! First pair of socks! After I'm done skyping with the boyfriend, I'm binding off my second sock. Whoohoo!! I've been working all day on the second sock on the toe part (after I got done cleaning of course!) I made sure I started cleaning before knitting, or else I'd just knit and not clean. Photos coming soon!!

Happy Knittings,
Anna Elizabeth Designs!

Two new pages and finished room cleaning!

So I just finished room cleaning! It only took me about an hour, I got up early this morning so I could start and finish my room by lunch time. That way I can still have my knitting morning (what's left of it) and my knitting afternoon. I haven't even started my sock yet, I just sat down from cleaning.

There are now two new pages for Anna Elizabeth Designs' Blog. You'll find in the tabs:
"Etsy Updates" (my blog posts about what is on Etsy, and what is coming up next..)
"Sock Knitting" (as explained on the page, I am now starting to knit socks!!)

Week of March 14 knittings..

Okay, so it's a new Monday!! And now I'm just waking up, and so I'm slow at typing. But this is the first blog entry of the day. I hope you like the new look of the new layout and template, and so I'm thinking it'll stay that way (or hoping) from now on (let's see how long this layout will last!) So in this blog entry will be my 'Week of March 14 Knittings.'

Things I'm knitting (What's on my needles):
1.) MY SOCK!!!! Yes, the word 'sock' is in CAPS and four exclamation points. Not only I started my sock, but I started the second sock to my first one. I could get the sock done later on today, and it's a little less stressful this time (knock on wood..). I started it yesterday while I was skyping, and somehow it all pulled together. I messed up my other sock (same one, but different one..) with a dropped stitch, and the pattern-well didn't look like a pattern.

2.) Whipple Wave Blanket: So sadly... I dropped a stitch somehow in this one. I might be able to go back and save it. We'll see how much energy I'll have to tink back some rows (there's quite a few).

3.) Daisy Mini Purse: Yes, it is mini! I got one handle on it yesterday, and maybe later on today it'll be finished. It might be on Etsy later on this week.

Getting over the Second Sock Syndrome...

So as knitters for those who don't like knitting socks... I'm actually now going to try and attempt my second sock. I don't even know how this feeling came across of really desiring to start over my sock. I need to get used to knitting socks even though they are challenging. So I'm unraveling my second sock as I type this. I had messed up the pattern (knit 3, purl 1) for the cuff, and dropped a stitch. Hopefully my second attempt will be successful..

Happy Knittings,
~Anna Elizabeth Designs

Finishing Projects Week!

Hello again and good morning!! Yes, it has been finishing projects week!! I've finished the following down below..

1.) Mrs. Cox's scarf (photos coming later)
2.) Fairytale blanket (yes I finally finished it!)
3.) My very first sock-not my first pair, but only just one sock haha.. I have second sock syndrome so far.

I feel like I've finished a lot of projects I've been working on... I think there's something else but I can't quite think about what it is, it's just one of those mornings. (I'm just waking up... and blogging ha!)

What is on my needles is coming to you in a second blog post this morning.
Happy Knitting!

Freezing Rain Monday!

It's a freezing rainy Monday!! I'm now at my next step of knitting the first sock-which is the heel. I'm excited!! I finished working on the cuff this morning. Sorry this is not an edited version.. will get to that later.

Note: There will be a presentation photo once this project is completed!

Spring Mist Socks (Sunday Sock Knitting)

Yes, I had not blogged in awhile! (I almost put my title as that). It's been a long time, that I forgot my password for my fifth time on this blog (or sixth?) Any who, today I actually began my very first SOCK! It's coming okay-just slowly and still learning how to knit on double pointed needles (well four double pointed needles at once). Currently I'm working on the cuff.
