March is about budding flowers and sunnier days ahead here in my neck of the woods. We’ve seen small buds of our daffodils in our beds already. I can’t wait for Spring!
This month’s beginner pattern is from our own @BaadWolfKnits – her'Nilla 'Nilla sockscan be downloaded from Lovecrafts – please support our FiberKind Designers!

Our theme is stripes – what is your favorite pattern to use the striping yarn? I have some felici to use LOL
Our color this month is Yellow

If anyone has a donation they wish to contribute, let me know. Otherwise I’ll be stash diving for some yarn I hope will make you happy!
2/26/20 update: For those wanting to participate in the #greensockskal on Instagram, we’ll also welcome your socks here (and give you an extra entry). So - I guess we’re officially adding GREEN as an extra color of the month!
I have been anxiously awaiting the first of the month so I can begin my socks. This yarn is what I will use for the “Butterfly” design. The yarn is Cascade Heritage Sock in Lemon.
The second pair of socks I hope to complete is the “Nilla-Nilla” design by our very own @BaadWolfKnits. This yarn is hand dyed from Good Fibrations in Canada. It’s actually a bright yellow, green and purple yarn, should be perfect for this pattern.
So, here’s the yarn I’ll be using for the “Nilla Nilla” socks. This yarn is Knit Picks Felici. I dyed it using liquid food coloring in neon colors. I can’t wait to see how it works up - hopefully not a lot of pooling
So after watching Vone Kevitz’ video on You Tube: Being Proactive With Green Socks I’ve decided to knit socks of peace instead of retaliating in the same way that THEY did with the pink things. :o I will love on everyone’s green socks, though.
Just a progress photo of these “Nilla Nilla” socks, and how they are working up with the neon hand dyed yarn. I should finish them up this weekend. Very happy with the way the yarn brings to life this plain stockinette stitch pattern.
I’ve started another pair of socks, putting two others in hold. There’s someone dear t me who has a birthday this month, and I decided to make her a pair.
I’m working on a pair of socks with Diamond Luxury Footloose yarn, I liked the look of the yarn in the skein better than I do in knit socks, but these are so soft and will be really comfortable.
the yarn looks very patriotic as a hank, but the colored sections don’t seem to last long, so I can see how it would look quite different as socks. I look forward to see progress photos!
I am getting ready to cast on my striped socks. I am using felici yarn, and I am going to go with the geek socks. The yarn will pull some so I think I will use larger needles as well.
