Originally uploaded by Spinningginny46I started knitting on these socks on April 4th in between packing up boxes for our move to Yuma Arizonia. I really finished knitting up the first pair on the 8th of April and then started on another pair. I actually was able to knit 2 pairs plus 1 extra lone sock from this 100 gram ball of Opal Harry Potter Sock Yarn (Harry & Ron).

When I first started knitting on these socks I started with a design that I thought would work with 44 sts. However, I didn't care for the pattern so ripped it out and started over. Then when I was talking to my mom on the phone (she lives in CA). We discussed diamond shapes and I came up with a fairly nice diamond pattern for this pair of socks.

This pattern was fairly simple with just some knits and purls placed evenly (or fairly evenly), through out the rows. One diamond is a little larger then the ones opposite it. However, it really gave the socks a nice look. You can't really see the pattern in the picture due to the different colors in the yarn. So down the road I might look through my stash (once I'm settled), in Yuma AZ and see if I can find some solid color sock yarn and knit up some more.

I had kept out some sock yarn as well as some Cotton dish cloth yarn to knit with in the evenings. This gives me something to do at night while watching tv. Now that most of the household items are packed up I'll go back to knitting more to pass the time until we leave. Which will be sometime after the 24th of April, in the meantime I'll keep on knitting away the days.
