Party Ideas – One Direction (Fake Party)

March 26, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

This One Direction Movie Night party by Andersruff.com  looks amazing, it looks to good to be true and that’s because it is.  It is a party styled (beautifully) for Sony. Even though this Party didn’t actually take place you can re-create it with the free printable’s and styling ideas.

You may recall my very own One Direction / Pop star party that I hosted for my 6 year old and lot’s of her friends. Our party was more Pop than One Direction but the girls loved it and we have a full sizer Harry Card board cutout as a reminder of this wonderful day. I knew my daughter was happy with how it all came together when at the end of the night she slipped a torn piece of paper into my hand and it read ” Thank you for the best party ever”.  It made all the effort worthwhile.

Super Fun Colorwork Socks to Knit

When I knit socks (which sadly I have not done in a while; need to get a new pair on the needles soon!) I generally stick to pretty simple designs and colorwork that isn’t all that detailed. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a fancy sock, I’m also just pretty lazy and I figure a project worked on size 0 or 1 US needles is going to take a long time even without the added work of intricate colorwork, so why make it more complicated?

But there are definitely socks out there I’d be willing to make an exception for, and I think Tangled Bliss by Annette Schleicher may just be one of them. 

If you can’t tell from looking, this is decidedly an advanced knitting pattern. There’s brioche for the cuffs, complex looking colorwork done with the ladderback jacquard technique, multiple charts, and colors changing everywhere. 

There are links to tutorials for all the special skills in the pattern, but still it would help to have a handle on these concepts before you get started. 

The pattern uses three colors of light fingering weight yarn at a whopping 31 stitches per 4 inches/10 cm (that’s 7.75 stitches per inch/2.5 cm). 

Would you believe me if I told you that this pattern was designed for a speed knitting contest? Speed would be the last thing on my mind. 

But again, I think all the work for these fancy socks would be worth it. I love hoe the colorwork looks like an old tile floor, and think of the bragging rights when you tell people you made them yourself. (Though of course you did; have you ever seen store-bought socks that look anything like this?)

Best of all, this pattern is available for free on Ravelry, so there’s no reason not to give it a try if you’ve got the skills. If you do, I’d love to hear about it!
