Knitted Slouchy Socks

Winter's coming to a close down here and I've only just finished my slouchy socks. Anywho, here they are. I used a lovely multicolour yarn in muted tones, and they're just basic socks with a pattern of knit three, purl three. It's also an uneven thickness wool so they ended up looking rough and rustic, which charms me :)

These are the boots I knitted them for, but I can also imagine a future running around in tights and these big socks at home because they make me feel cute and comfy :)

Cropped Stripy Cardigan

I've been on a knitting spree lately (I tend to switch between knitting, painting, or paper crafts, obsessed with one at a time), and the latest creation is this, my striped cardigan.

I adjusted a simple pattern for a long cardigan, making it shorter, and the sleeves shorter, and making it stripey. The stripes were actually very helpful in making sure every piece was the right length. Hope it inspires :)

Knitted Lacy Cropped Wrap-Around

I found this lacy pattern in a book of designs by Victor Herbert that I found in a charity shop for $1. He calls the pattern "Shells and Fans". I used the pattern to create a very different style of top from what he had made, and in a very different kind of yarn but I think it turned out great, and am excited to work on many more lacy projects.
