Thank you to everyone who entered the Purple Socks Giveaway. The winner is Nil@ Little House By the Lake. Congratulations Nil! I am making the socks in a size 6 to fit your foot. Please send me a comment with your address. I won't publish it, but then I can mail these to you. I will have then finished in a week.
I have more sock yarn in my stash, and am planning more give aways of hand knit socks in the future. I really appreciate all of your interest. I wish I could have given a pair to each person who entered. I had been racking my brain, trying to think of who to give those socks to, and this solution felt ideal.
The Lost In Time Shawl is coming along nicely. I will crochet a couple more rows on it today. Yesterday I fixed the error; now both sides match. I think I will skip the final border, and end with the scalloped edging. I love that look. Happy Friday!
Oh my god! I am jumping up and down here, totally excited!!! Can't wait to wear your hand knitted socks, Stephenie. I've never had hand knitted socks.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Nil. Hand knit socks are a special treat.
DeleteCongratulations Nil and just in time for the cooler weather too. Such a special gift, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI’m still amazed how fast you knit and crochet Stephanie. The Lost In Time Shawl looks amazing.
Have a lovely weekend.

Thanks Kylie. It's good therapy. I'm pleased with the shawl, too.
DeleteYour shawl looks gorgeous! I am researching patterns for a simple knitted shawl I want to make for my sister for Xmas. I found a beautiful worsted-weight cotton in a colour called Jasper that has arrived ... need to get started soon or I'll run out of time! Meg:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gift, Meg. There are some wonderful patterns out there. You are wise to start early.
DeleteHurray for Nil!
ReplyDeleteI know you will smile every time that you wear such hand knit, purple wonderfulness as these socks!!
Enjoy them!
Thank you Jill. I meant to answer your last comment about the sock yarn. It's Viking of Norway sock yarn.
DeleteThank you Kylie & Jill. :)
ReplyDeleteI really love your knits, I am knitting a reindeer sweaters for my son. My elbow is really starting to hurt, how can you knit so much? Is there a secret��
ReplyDeleteI love those sweaters; you must be an excellent knitter. I used to have one. I don't have a secret. Maybe part of it is to exercise every morning and evening. I think circulations helps. Sometimes my arms ache, too. Thank you for the comment. I'm so glad to hear that you like my knits.
DeleteWoohoo!🎉 Congrats Nil. And that shawl is stunning Stephanie. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lady Locust. It's coming along, just a couple more repeats.
DeleteWell done Nil, what a lovely present to win, especially as it gets colder xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl. This is her first pair of hand knit socks.
DeleteCongrats to you Nils. I am sorry I missed all the excitement while we were in Singapore Stephanie. I am inspired to start to knit a pair of socks myself once I finish the larger than life afghan (on the last skein, only two 14 row repeats left). By the bye-your shawl is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, I hope you had a fantastic trip. That's exciting about your afghan. Thank you for the compliment on the shawl. It's been an exciting pattern to crochet.
Deletewhat an awesome idea with the give away;
ReplyDeletelove your idea & what gorgeous socks! congrats to Nil
the shawl is looking good & i think a scalloped edge would look gorgeous too.
wow you do knit fast

Thank you Selina. I love the look of scalloped edges.
