An FO & An Almost FO

I finished Bree's socks last night.

She seems to like them.


These were a quick knit. It took a few hours, split up between two days. It's the same yarn that I used for Kaity's socks, Opal 6 ply, color 1712.

Here's my almost FO.



These are the Irish Hiking Wrist Warmers I'm making for my mom. Warmer number one is done and seamed. Warmer number two needs one and half pattern repeats. I opted to leave the ribbing at the top of the wrist warmer off. I think it makes it fit to snuggly on the hand. I want them to keep my moms hands warm not cut off circulation.

I got my box from JoAnn's in.



All that trouble for a few skeins of the striping dishcloth cotton and 1 yard of fabric. The fabric is cute...forgot to put it in the pic. You'll see it later when I get Bree's blankie sewn. I still have a few things to pick up to start the blankie so it won't get started until after the 1st of Jan.

I also received some gorgeous red Cascade 220 Heathers from Sue. Thanks Sue!



I'll probably make either the Thinking Dress or Bookworm (sweater) from Miss Bea's Rainy Day. Haven't decided yet.

I think this afternoon I will start Kaity's sweater. It's gloomy and windy. The perfect kind of day to stay indoors and knit.
