Crochet and Knit Projects - Summer 2010

I'll make this thread for everyone to showcase what you've been whipping up this summer. If you're like me and live in the south, you have been taking shelter indoors. And what better to pass the 90+ degree days getting started on fall and winter projects?

I actually just started crocheting seriously this month. I tinkered around with hook and yarn in the past but never really made it past the chain. I've been in a mad dash to collect and queue up as many patterns as I can think of to fill up my summer. 99% of it will probably be baby items.

Here's an album of what I've started so far.

These are some baby booties I made on a whim after I learned how to do the heel in socks.

These are my first ever knit socks, very exciting.

I've been doing quite a bit of knitting lately because I have no job and no friends to hang out with. All I do lately is play the Sims 2 and knit... interesting life, I know.

The booties are cute but what I'm really loving are your socks! I'm guessing you used 3 different colors? They look really good I almost don't believe you that they are your first!

I haven't crocheted for very long so I haven't been brave enough to go buy sock yarn (the thin-ness intimidates me!).

Bravo though, they look comfy!

It's a self striping yarn... all I did was knit the basic sock, no colour changes necessary, lol

well that's cool, they line up so well! hah, all I've got right now is solids to work with.

ya, the self striping is pretty awesome because it looks like you did way more than you actually did.
