These socks may be my all time favorite sock knit! Pattern: Lichen and Moss Socks by Joanna Ryan Yarn: Knit Pocks Hawthorne FIngering Colorway: Goose Hollow Needle Size: US Size 1 Being a toe up knitter it was necessary for me to tweak this pattern slightly. After knitting the toe I then began the pattern as follows: Knit 3, Purl 2, 5 stitch pattern, Purl 2, Knit 6, Purl 2, 5 stitch pattern, Purl 2, Knit 3. Allowing me to start the pattern at the side rather than at the back of the heel. The other alteration was to Knit the entire next row - creating a rest row. Tried Very Pink Knits Simple Stretchy Bind-off and will certainly use it again. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this pattern! And I'm off to start another pair of the same socks!

Yay! April was Emptyknitster's eight year blogiversary! (April 24th to be exact) Thank you to the grandkiddos for encouraging me to continue. When I started Emptyknitster's Never  Ending Knitting I wanted to share my life, memories and the crafts I love to make with friends and family. Doing this has been such an awesome experience.
