Holiday Cheer!

Beer Cozies 
These are some beer cozies I made for Christine for Christmas using Karrie's pattern I found at "Knit This". Christine is a beer drinker and occasionally makes her own beer. These were made for fun and probably won't be used more than once, but I thought the idea was cute. They are made with Red Heart yarn. I don't drink beer, so, the cozies are photographed on soda bottles.

Below is a close up of the cable stitch I put in.




 

Hawaii Beaded Socks

Hawaii Socks 

Here is my latest sock knitting project. These are knit with Lorna's Laces yarn in colorway Hawaii Every fourth row, I added a bead in the center of the pattern. The pattern is called "Socks for Sarah" from the 2004 Sock Knitting Challenge book from The Knitting Zone and I used Queen Kahuna's Crazy Toes and Heels, cuff down technique with a slip stitch heel knitting two socks at a time on circular needles.

Below is a close up of the sock cuff. It's a little difficult to see the beads. Depending on what color the yarn behind each bead is, the bead either look green or purple.
