Knit On, Girlfriend!

Woohoo! The birthday sock(s) and X-mas scarf are done!!! This means I can start a new project! I just completed my brother's sock. He got one for his birthday and I hear his other foot is rather cold. I should have made the leg part a little longer, but I was afraid I wouldn't have enough yarn. One skein per sock. I read about a sock pattern book on a blog over the summer and bought the book. It allows you to customize the socks, as it goes by various measurements instead of a set pattern. In other words, I had to figure it all out for myself. Very scientific! Here's the second half of my brother's birthday present:


They'll go great with his crocs!

I also completed Diane's scarf earlier in the week. Here's a shot of it on X-mas day. It's knit with a drop stitch criss cross border on both ends and a [k1, yo, k2tog] lacy pattern. I just need to block it (wet it and pin it to the right proportions).


Diane's scarf made from Moda Dea Dream yarn... so soft!

The end of the week is quickly approaching. I love these short weeks! I have another Monday off on the 16th (MLK Day). WNTL? That's "What's not to like?" per Freddy-speak. And President's Day next month.

Just wanted to share my knitting joy with you. Short blog, I know. My next project is a mohair sweater from Family Circle Easy Knitting magazine. It will be made with this yarn in color 4118. Pretty, isn't it? It's the one John picked out last weekend.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic 2006 so far! More news on the mohair sweater later...
