Anything bigger than that, naku. <BR/><BR/>My current stash in Ravelry has color numbers, and I think I have Monaco beige and choco brown there. Sometimes I find Monaco even softer than Cannon.The Gravelcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590133021360629169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244644859429578821.post-30903589375867094802008-10-20T14:13:00.000+08:002008-10-20T14:13:00.000+08:00Yay, I'm excited!I can't decide pa on what color, ...Yay, I'm excited!<BR/>I can't decide pa on what color, and please let me know what colors you have when you are ready to make it.<BR/>A total of 12 hours for a pair - that is awesome! I tried to make baby socks with double-pointed needles and I got so stressed over it :p I don't think I could ever knit a pair, but I'm hoping that when I get to have what you made, that would inspire me to learn ;) <BR/>Let me know early on what colors you want, that you couldn't find in the store (for Cannon or Anchor).

Lots of Halloween and Nanay's birthday activities this weekend kasi :)<BR/>For adult socks it's roughly 6 hours per sock at the fastest if that was the only thing I did. In reality I spread it over 3 days if I can because of other activities.<BR/><BR/>What colorway/s do you like? If you have a favorite Cannon shade/multicolor selection, let me know the color number so I can get you what you prefer. Will email you a list of what I have, yung nasa Ravelry hindi complete kasi I don't have time to take pix and upload.<BR/><BR/>Still thinking of what color number to trade for, also.The Gravelcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590133021360629169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244644859429578821.post-3671544094497111862008-10-11T08:49:00.000+08:002008-10-11T08:49:00.000+08:00I would be so proud to have my own custom made kni...I would be so proud to have my own custom made knitted socks from you, Mona! <BR/>Would you...? How long does it take for you to finish a pair? <BR/><BR/>I took the measurements...hahaha...<BR/>1) 9 1/4 inches<BR/>2) 8 3/4 inches<BR/>3) 7 3/4 inchesMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083410586195970499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244644859429578821.post-53101401566680136522008-10-09T09:51:00.000+08:002008-10-09T09:51:00.000+08:00Well, I haven't tried taking orders yet.

I suppose I could :) When you feel the individual Cannon thread it doesn't feel soft enough for socks, but when you knit it up with a big enough needle, it's nice and soft. 2.75-3mm needles work really well!<BR/><BR/>Three measurements if made to fit:<BR/><BR/>1) Length of foot from big toe to heel in inches<BR/>2) Instep measurement around the widest part of the foot (arch to top around)<BR/>3) Measurement around the ankle just above the bone.<BR/><BR/>I don't know how to cost yet, though. If it's for you, I'm willing to trade it for 3 balls of another crochet thread color, hahaha :)The Gravelcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590133021360629169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-244644859429578821.post-55214952503202669692008-10-06T12:59:00.000+08:002008-10-06T12:59:00.000+08:00I love this!!

Do you take orders??<BR/>I didn't even recognize the Cannon thread, it looks so good when knitted into socks.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083410586195970499noreply@blogger.com
