Even though the last thing I need is yet another project on the needles, I totally started one anyway! I got this amazing new sock yarn from Knit Picks (Stroll Glimmer in Foxglove) and I just couldn’t wait to cast on a new pair of pretty glittery socks!
I have had the Nine to Five pattern by Nicole Hindes sitting in my Ravelry queue for a while and I thought it would be a great pattern for this yarn. I’m enjoying the pattern so far – it’s not complicated and the special twisty stitch is really fun to make!
The pattern calls for size 1.5 needles, but I don’t have those, so I’m using size 1. That’s the smallest needle size I’ve ever used! Go me!
Hi – thanks for heading over to my Facebook page. I really like your WIP tabs down the side of your blog – you seem to be one very busy lady (who has amazing nails!) I look forward to seeing how your year goes.
Thanks! Back at ya!

Love the yarn. Is this the first pair of socks that you've knitted?
I have knitted lots of socks, but usually I use size 2 needles. This is my first pair on the itty-bitty size 1 needles!
