Sock Marathon 2010

I've made 10 pairs of socks for the Mittens for Akkol sock challenge this year. Hopefully I'll get a couple more pairs done. Recently I've been working on baby stuff for family and friends, but I may go back to knitting socks for awhile. The kids at the orphanage have really been on my mind lately.

Graduation Flowers


An unexpected gift from Mom and Dad. They are still blooming and super fragrant. Thanks :)

Baby Shower

Well, now the baby showers are done, so I can post about knitting for my nephew without ruining any surprises. I made him a Pembroke vest using Dream in Color Classy yarn. I've been wanting to use that yarn forever, so it was a great excuse to buy it. I had enough left over to make a little pair of socks, too. And I could not resist buying him little plaid shoes. I love preppy baby clothes!





I also made him a couple of Cabled Baby Hats using Knit Picks Swish Worsted.


Can't wait to meet the little guy! And see him in his handknits, of course!
