Pattern: My own vanilla socks
Yarn: Neeley's Knits in Super sock in Snow White inspired colorway Old Hag
Needles: US Size 1.5 DPNs
Started on: June 18th
Finished on: July 13th
Comments: This is pair # 14 for the year! I could have knit these a lot faster if I didn't get sidetracked and knit other things. I love self striping yarn and seeing each new color knit up. Stripes are easier to match up when the yarn comes with a sidekick skein for cuff, heels, and toes. Another benefit of self striping yarn is I don't have to measure the second sock, I can just count the stripes to make sure they're the same as the first sock.

Trillian - I started a gradient shawl. I'm soooo close to getting to that second color. I can't wait!
Psychedelic Flowers - I'm planning on starting a pair of socks out of this sparkle sock yarn blank. The photo only shows half of the blank. The other half is just a repeat of these same four flowers. I'm so excited to see how these will knit up.
Old Hag socks - No photo of this one. I'm on the gusset decrease of the second sock, so very close to finishing this pair.

Two Milos
Pattern: Milo designed by Tikki (size 5)
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash in colorway 842 Light Iris
Needles: US Size 6
Started on: Jun 1st
Finished on: July 7th
Comments: I did knit this pattern once before about a year or so ago. I knit two so that my girls will have matching vests. I love this pattern, very clever and easy to knit. It also knits quickly assuming you actually work on it. Heh. I knit bigger sizes so that I could use up the yarn and it would fit the girls for longer.

Milo - I actually finished a 5 year old size already, for some reason it never made it on the blog. Either way it's drying now. And I started a new Milo in the same yarn and same colorway as the one I just finished. This one I'm knitting in the 3 year old size. These two will be for my girls.
Old Hag socks - These are plain vanilla socks, they are mostly on hold until I finish the Milos. I have been putting a row in here and there. Once the Milo is finished this will become my primary knitting. It should go quickly once I can focus on them, since I'm already on the second sock.

Comments: This was a easy pattern to follow and very intuitive to knit. I won my game of yarn chicken. I only had 9 grams left at the end. I really enjoyed knitting this. And I love this shawl. It was a great summer knit. I can't wait to wear it!

June Knitting Stats
It's really been too hot to knit. So not much has happened this month.
I did finish 3 pairs of socks. In total I knit 2.8 balls of yarn / 1,157 yards of yarn. I hope to have more yardage out next month, but really it will depend on if it cools down or stays this hot.
