During last month's blog silence there was knitting happening here . I have two pairs of socks for the Warm Hands Network completed with one pair almost done . The first ones are these bright red socks . I stole/borrowed the idea for the multi-coloured cuff from Lynn of mindingmyownstitches . She had knit a pair using up some remnants from a previous knit and a single from her stash . What I particularly like about her socks was the stripe at the toe . Thanks Lynn for a great idea , hope you don't mind that I borrowed it .
The second ones are just a simple garter rib pattern with some yarn gifted to me by my dad that's been in the stash for awhile .It's called Anna Belle College . It was very nice to work with . I really like the colourway , that orange stripe particularly pleases me . I think that's the last of that brand that I have . I'll have to ask Dad to bring me some more on his next visit . That's why the sock yarn stash doesn't go down , it's all my father's fault !
Anyway , that's it for today , the rest can wait for another day . Have a wonderful weekend !

Borrow away! I'm sure I wasn't the first to add a stripe at the toe and I won't be the last. It's a great way to use up the 20 grams or less of sock yarn I always seem to have leftover. Your socks look very cheery, and they're sure to be appreciated!
I'll have to keep that in mind for the Warm Hands socks -- using a variagated for the cuff. I have lots of odd small balls. Good idea. :)
Some body is going to be happy to get such nice warm cheery socks!
Cute socks, especially the striped toe!
Could you send some of that rain this way. We sure could use some.
