march is marching on!

tick tock! tick tock! march is marching on!

which begs the question - how am i doing with my pair of socks per month smackdown?

well....at this point, here's what you get!

one sock down in a feather & fan pattern of my own creation - i mean, really, how difficult is it to cast on enough stitches to repeat the feather & fan pattern four times for the leg, turn a heel of your choice (i tried a square heel) and complete the foot and then bind off. piece of cake! on to the second sock (and i pray not 'second sock syndrome'). i'm using socketta yarn which is a combo of cotton, wool and the obligatory nylon which should be a delightful weight for summer!

here's hoping i complete them by summer!

i've also completed half a pair of plain vanilla toe-up socks - and i do mean plain, nothin' but stockinette stitch the entire way! got the new book by wendy johnson and followed her directions! what a champ! have loved her designs and patterns for a long time and have been craving the opportunity to increase my skills in sock making by adding toe-up to my repertoire! so far smooth sailin'!

so....will i make it? the countdown is on....6 days left and still more march madness games to watch! tick tock! tick tock!
