Take A Trip Down Memory Lane With These Mrs. Moominmamma Knit Socks

slisen.blogspot.com (Click on photos to enlarge) 30 Nov 2016 Well, blogger is at it again. I've been trying to reply to a nice comment left for this pattern and it won't let me post, so I'm answering the comment from 'Unknown' from earlier this afternoon and hope it helps the rest of you too. The comment was: I know this is a old post but how many sts did you increase to for the ankle? you start with 66 and it looks like you increase by about 10 (5 each side) but can't be sure. And my reply is: Thanks for your comments and bringing to my attention that my schematics might have thrown you (and others) off. I don't increase any sts for the ankle. In the case of 66 sts CO, the total number of sts remain at 66, the same throughout. My schematics appeared that there was an increase so I 'fixed the schematics' diagrams and replaced them to what the actual knitting should look like. Sorry if I caused some confusion but it should be clearer now. Again thanks for looking at my blog and bringing this to my attention.  This is what happens when 2 teenage granddaughters put their heads together and sweet talk their grandmother into making them a pair of socks that they just ‘have to have’. They, of course, knew they’d win. ☺ It was a fun project but they didn’t happen overnight. I couldn’t find sock yarn in colors that I needed so that meant dyeing yarn, which also meant ordering dyes and a cone of sock yarn. Then I had to wait for the weather to warm up a bit so I could be outside to do the dyeing. So during the wait for things to come together, I planned my attack and decided on a g-carriage pattern and designed it in DAK. Then I needed to come up with correct sizing. The new cone of yarn I got was heavier than the last one I got from the same company and it didn’t gauge out the same. So I spent a few days working up the pattern and frogging a couple socks until I came up with what I thought would fit one of the girls. I basted it together and had one of them try it on and, voila, it fit. So I am a happy camper. I started with the cuff ribbing, then worked the ankle with the g-carriage. I wanted the ankle seam to run up the back so I scrapped off ¼ of the stitches on each side of ‘0’ and continued with the garter pattern on the center half of the stitches to the toe. Then because I wanted the facing garter pattern to be on the public side, I turned my work with a garter bar and I proceeded to shortrow the toe, knit the sole and worked the shortrowed heel in stockinette stitch. To be able to graft the heel seam and have the pattern continue, I turned the fabric and then scrapped off, to be grafted later. I randomly worked the ‘seeds’ with duplicate stitch with a strand of black 4 ply yarn split into 2 strands. I had thought about using glass beads for the seeds but both girls thought they'd prefer the comfort of duplicate stitch. I seamed each side of the foot, the back of the ankle and lastly grafted across the heel. I tried a couple different methods of SAYG on the foot sides but they looked too conspicuous for my liking so I opted to use a Bickford seam on the public side after they came off the machine. Much better. On one edge of the fabric, I came up thru a loop and down the next knot, then moved over to the other edge and did the same thing…came up thru a loop and down the next knot. On the back ankle seam, I used the same method but worked from the wrong side of the fabric. I soon learned that adding the duplicate stitching for the ‘seeds’ was much easier if done before the sock was seamed up. I worked the 'seed's vertically so they wouldn't get stretched too much horizontally while wearing. I seamed one side of the foot, did the duplicate stitches, then finished the seaming. What a fun pair of socks! But there is a lot of hand work after they come off the machine. I have one more pair to make for the other gal and I'll post pictures when they're done....stay tuned. I've included my schematic pattern for the first pair I made that might help you get going if you want to make a pair. This is for a size 8 narrow foot, 9.5" long. I've also included my DAK 'melon' pattern but you may use any g-carriage design you like. P.S. I should add that I use Pro Chemical Pro One Shot dyes.

Earlier last week, fellow Rockin' Arts Mom Kristen from Art History Mom shared a really neat way to introduce young children to the artwork of Henri Matisse. I was so intrigued by her post that I did a shortened version of her lesson with my 2 1/2 year old son. Wow. I was so pleasantly surprised at how Chuck responded. He loved looking at the artwork, counting the figures, and finding different colors and shapes. Since Matisse's collages are so colorful and graphic looking, we then tried making our own Matisse inspired artwork at home. Kids Make Matisse Inspired Collages (This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support.) Aren't they beautiful? Now little did I know, Kristen (from Art History Mom) also had a similar idea in mind. She ended up making these lovely Playdough and Construction Paper Collages with her son. I think that using play dough to make collages is such a cool idea, so definitely check out her activity too! Materials Needed to Make Matisse Inspired Collages Construction Paper Scissors (Adult and Kid-friendly scissors) Glue (Glue Sticks and Elmer's Glue) Let's Make Matisse Inspired Collages! 1. I first did Art History Mom's Henri Matisse Lesson with Chuck. Then, we looked at some of Matisse's other collages online. (Note: If you're a book lover, you could also read one of these Matisse books for Kids.) 2. Then, I explained that we were going to make our own collages just like Matisse. So, we pulled out some construction paper and cut out shapes. I cut out the more complicated ones to resemble some of the shapes found in Matisse's artwork. 3. Then we glued our shapes on. (Chuck said this collage was supposed to be a bumble bee. Can you see the resemblance?) Once our artwork dried, we had some lovely Matisse-inspired artwork of our own. I enjoyed this activity because we got to talk about art, math (counting, shapes, and spatial relations), and colors. Chuck seemed to enjoy the activity because he got to use scissors (which always ups the coolness factor of any project) and glue (which he enjoyed wiping everywhere.) Let me know if you try this activity out with your kids! I think they'll have fun (and learn some things too.) (Side note: I learned about Matisse's personal history too... it was super inspiring.) And if you're looking for other fun ways to make art with your kids, try these three fun activities out! Melted Crayon Art Super Easy Abstract Art Edible Tortilla Art Happy making!

Viseria Sock is a simple but interesting sock with a stitch pattern that imitates a classy sandal. It takes thoughts to mystique summer nights where all you need is long dress and a lot of braids. The stitch pattern is based on seed stitch that is hot just right now. If you have a speckled yarn, the seed stitch shows the yarn a little bit differently than the stockinette stitch. With a solid yarn the pattern is shown more clearly. The both ways work great – choose your style. The socks are knit from the toe up. To highlight the seed stitch pattern the heel is made with Japanese short rows. The heels is like a jewelry that matches to the pattern perfectly but it’s not as tricky as you may think: all you need is a lot of locking stitch markers and it’s easier than most of the wrap and turn -heels. If you prefer the perfect look, bind off the sock with the invisible method. Instructions are given to that too. The pattern is written both, for magic loop method and the DPN’s. The sizing is simple: slim. The length of the sock is easily adjustable just for your size.

Draw a Vanishing Point in the middle of the paper. Draw lines around the VP. 2. Connect the ends and points of lines to the Vanishing point. 3. Emphasize the sides of the building from the top to bottom. 4. Add windows going horizontally following parallel to the top of the building, And windows vertically (using Vanishing Point). 4. Shade buildings. 5. Add a sky to the top. Keep in mind, the closer you are to the Vanishing point, the smaller clouds will be. Things become bigger as they reach the edges of the paper. This video will help you too...

Make a Dot somewhere in the middle of your paper. This is called the "Vanishing Point" and is where all the sides of your buildings will travel to until they seem to "vanish". 2. Lightly with a pencil and a ruler, Draw lines that go from the dot to the edges of the paper. 3. Cut off tops of buildings. Rule of CutOff Top or Bottom edge of paper = Horizontal Cut off Right or Left edge of paper = Vertical Cut off 4. Draw the side part of the Building according to guide above. 5. Decorate the fronts of your buildings with windows. RULE OF WINDOWS If the windows go up, they must follow to the vanishing point, If the windows go sideways, they must go the direction of the edge of the paper they come from, like the top of the cut off. 6. Use a rotating compass on the Vanishing Point to make concentric circles in the sky. This will be a radiating sun above. 7. We will color the circles like the sun and sky. See student examples below from other schools. 8. Use black and grey to decorate the building fronts. NO COLORS. Since the sun in facing the fronts and not the sides, Make the side of the building dark using solid black or grey.
