Current knitting

Just finished a pair of manly ankle socks in the Tampa Bay Buc's colors (red and gray) for a friend's birthday coming up this weekend. Both of the toes are gray, although the picture doesn't show this very well.







Next, I'm I just about finished with a lace scarf/ shawl in the most beautiful mohair blend 2-ply lace weight yarn . . . which I got on sale somewhere (Indiana?) this summer. I didn't know what I was going to do with it until I saw this pattern in Knit Simple magazine. This yarn is so soft, although a little warm to be knitting with in Florida in the summer.

Anyway, here's a picture of the work-in-progress (wip). This will be my first major lace blocking project, and I'm trying to figure out where in the motorhome I will find enough room to spread it out to block it!

An embarrassment of riches

This is all the sock yarn that I won in the Summer of Socks "vacation sock picture" contest!!!



I am totally flabbergasted ! ! !

This amazingly beautiful yarn arrived in the mail today and is enough for five pairs of socks. I piled all of these pretty skeins in a basket on my desk so I can admire them and dream about all the beautiful socks they will make.

You can see the winning picture (taken by EB, of course) here.

More Baby Surprise Jackets

Whew! These baby sweaters by E.Z. are addicting! They were knitted out of leftover yarn and donated to the charity knitting group at Yarnworks, my LYS in Gainesville, FL.

Here is more info on where to get the pattern, plus additional notes on the pattern.
