FINISHES

These socks have been on my needles since last winter.  I think I was procrasti-knitting  : )

Anyway............they are finally finished so I have one stocking stuffer at least

I entered a knitters fibre swap and got a package all the way from Japan!  I am really happy with the yarns I was sent. Lots of knitting in my future with these pretties

My little grandson arrived ahead of schedule by 2 weeks.  I met him just a few hours after he was born.  The next day before we went out for another visit, I knit up this super soft chunky blanket.

One can't arrive empty handed ya know

The yarn is Bernat Mega Bulky in the colour linen.  I cast on 30 stitches on 19mm needles and just did some simple stocking stitch with some garter stitch thrown in. I went through 2 balls in a couple of hours and was done!

The best finish of all is this:

Here is the little sweet pea.  He is THE cutest thing! My son and his wife are just in awe of him.
Now I really must get those feather blocks sewn so I can get his quilt finished !

If you need me, I'll be knitting some teeny tiny things : )

WORKS IN PROGRESS

There's always lots going on in my sewing room but these are the projects I'm currently puttering on.

Hexies. I'm always working on hexies       : )

I'm quilting my X and + quilt.  More on that next week

I am so so close to the toe of this sock. Still loving this yarn!

and lastly, the scraps from the little quilt I recently finished came with me to the yarn shop so I could match them for a hat.  Aren't these gorgeous???  Can't believe how perfect they are.

Have a great week end

A 'TENDER' FINISH

Stocking stuffer #2 is complete.  I grafted the second toe closed the other day on this pair of socks that I plan on putting in a stocking this Christmas  : )

I borrowed my daughter for the pictures because her legs have no freckles.......

the yarn is Kattikloo in Tender and is made here in B.C. on Salt Spring Island

It was lovely to work with

 During this last little road trip I picked up another luscious ball of sock yarn.  This one is Madelinetosh and the colour is Dahlia.  I'm knitting this pair for a friend

Congratulations to Fran. She won the two charm packs from the previous post and has been notified by e-mail.

Thanks to everyone who entered.
