<br /><div style="text-align: center;">WOW! I think I'm FINALLY caught up with my blogging again.
<br />It's been quite awhile since I've posted here.
<br />I've been busy making beads and jewelry, plus
<br />knitting socks.
<br />I also have printed out and laminated several of my sock patterns and put them into tins
<br />for easy reference. I have them listed on my Etsy Store.
<br />They can be found<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10209663"> here:</a>
<br />This is what they look like.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10209663"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xDeWPFT9oCw/TlvcjAnw1JI/AAAAAAAAA3U/f6MkpokIU3w/s320/patterns1b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646349051859358866" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10209663"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jKO4_59T5e4/TlvcjRn7qUI/AAAAAAAAA3c/DUdjXGCj5vs/s320/patterns1c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646349056423471426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10209663"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DxoOPdfCLgw/Tlvci_w_ftI/AAAAAAAAA3M/8fy5RAkHywM/s320/patterns1a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646349051629633234" border="0" /></a>

<br />So as you can see, I've been a busy, busy girl!!
<br />But it's been fun.
<br />I hope I have things in my store that will make it easier for you
<br />to do your Christmas shopping. :)

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is my Feather Lace Toe Up Socks.
<br />The chart needs to be followed closely, and I don't think it would be very easy to memorize the pattern. But boy are these pretty socks!!
<br />I used KnitPicks Risata yarn.
<br />These socks turned out very nice.
<br />
<br />The pattern can be found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10160396">here:</a>
<br />I am charging $5.00 for the PDF file.

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">This was such a fun pair of socks to design.
<br />I named them "Wings Of A Swan" toe up socks.
<br />The pattern chart is a little more detailed than my charts usually
<br />are, and you most likely won't be able to memorize the pattern
<br />but will have to keep the chart handy.
<br />This pattern is for sale at my Etsy store for $5.00 in
<br />PDF format.
<br />It can be found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10160396">here:</a>
<br />
<br />I am sooo in love with these socks.
<br />I used Wendy Happy yarn and it's oh so soft!

For those of us who love to go barefoot, but yet would like to 'dress up' our feet, these are the perfect answer. You will feel special and dressy in these' sandals'. The beads are chunky and colorful, and will be real eye stoppers at any casual get together that you will go to......perfect with your favorite sundress, or a pair of denim shorts, or with a bathing suit, or a pair of capris. They will go with just about anything you choose to wear. They are bright and summery, and you will be wearing a one of a kind product that everyone will love.<br /><br />They are listed on my Etsy store, and you can see them<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns"> here: </a><br /><br /></div> </div>These Barefoot Sandals were created using my own handmade beads. The beads were created with Premo polymer clay without the use of a mold, so each bead is unique in size, shape and color design. No two beads are exactly alike.....and no two sandals will be exactly alike. I used stretch bead and jewelry cord in the construction of these sandals, so they will fit most ladies sized feet.<br /><br />(Please ignore the feet in these photos. I didn't have anyone here to model for me, so I had to put them on my own feet)Wilmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08948608503940756094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821736217664103784.post-46989180060091329542011-05-07T11:38:00.001-07:002011-08-29T10:35:32.946-07:00Drunken Ribs Toe Up Socks and Pacific Coast Toe Up Socks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10160396"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 629px; height: 411px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PXJ3vsMO1OA/TcWSCaWl5oI/AAAAAAAAAy4/2lXpl8guPkE/s320/Drunken%2BRibs%2BToe%2BUp%2BSocks1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604045881463924354" border="0" /></a>

<br />I have some new sock patterns uploaded.
<br />These I named 'Drunken Ribs Toe Up Socks'.
<br />They are made with Knit Picks Stroll sock yarn.
<br />You can find the pattern <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10160396">here:</a>
<br />I am selling the pattern for $5.00 in PDF format.
<br />
<br />I've had so many people ask me if I would sell some of my socks,
<br />so I am going to put these sock up on my Etsy store to sell,
<br />and they should be up in the next day or so.
<br />The address for my store <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns">is here. </a>
<br />I am going to list 3 different pair of socks.
<br />

<br />Here is another pair of socks that I made. We were touring
<br />the Oregon Coast last week, and the coastline inspired me to make these socks.

<br />and they are made with Deborah Norville Yarn.
<br />I have uploaded the pattern for these socks also, and the pattern can be found<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10160396"> </a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MontanananaDesigns?section_id=10160396">here:</a>
<br />I am charging $5.00 for this pattern in PDF format.
<br />I will also put these socks up for sale on my Etsy store.
