Finally February ! - Short Post

I don't have much to show in the way of projects for January but I did get a lot of knitting done.  I worked on large sweater pieces, the bulk of a shawl which was all garter, a bit of cable on socks and a few other things.  I hope I can have some of those posted this month.  

FOs

These baby socks took just over a day to make.  I could have had them done in a day but my regular life for in the way.  The socks are for my newest grandson.

These are for the very sweet receptionist in my doctor's office.  The yarn is Lion Brand's Sockease in the colorway Toffee.  They were done on US 2s.

Have a Great Week !

Plans and an Improvement I

I did not make a lot of socks last year but a few of the pair's had gussets that were a bit tacky looking.  It was all in the way I was picking my stitches up.  I finally took the time and effort to not be in such a hurry.  It made a difference with this pair.  Success so far and it will only get better !

This sock by the way is for the receptionist in my physician's office.  She asked me if I would make her a pair and I could not turn her down.  She has always been sweet to me.  I have seemed her knit-worthy.

I made a shawlette last year and enjoyed it's versatility which made me go into my closet to pull out other shawls and cowls.  They feel so nice and give a completion to whatever outfit I'm wearing if that makes sense.  Wearing shawls and cowls give me the feeling of being hugged all day.

I started with on a shawlette this morning and I can't wait to be hugged by it.

There is quite a bit of garter to this which is wonderful while watching the television.

Have a great week !
