Two new projects....DONE!!

Hey, hey, hey....

Okay...finished up two throws this weekend. The first one was my sons which I started back in May when he was here. I know, I know. I got carried away with the sockies and finishing the Giants scarves. But his is done and done!





Garrick's did not photograph very well. The first picture is probably the best. It shows the deep colors in it. He choose a black and a dark blue and a dark purple and then a little color running through it. It was actually very beautiful.

The other one is for a wedding on Saturday....



This one is actually very deep and rich. There is a gray and a light cream color with a variegated colored yarn and then a bronzy color. It turned out very good. I am very impressed --- with myself!

Got another pair of sockies done and started on yet another pair. Probably going to start my nephews blanket in a couple of weeks and I have a very special friend with a birthday in November and she is sooooo gonna get a throw and perhaps, if she keeps the snarkiness to a minimal level, I might get her in a pair of socks as well!

I hope these are not dumb gifts...if they are, you all will tell me, right? I think they are fantastic and I love, love, love putting such a "handmade with love" touch on these gifts. If you have gotten something I have made...I love you.

XOXO

New sock...

I am having a love/hate relationship with my new sock... I loved the yarn so much when I bought it but I am on the fence about whether or not I like the sock or not. I think I might, but then I think I don't.





What do you think?

I did finish one pair last week for my mom they are purple...I will post a picture of all the socks when I am done with them. I am just not too sure about the color of the new sock. I was going to give them to my Aunt Barbara, but I think I may have to keep them. I don't know. I will do the other one this weekend and then decide, I guess.

Still working on Garrick's blanket, I think I will be done pretty soon. I need a break from the socks, so I will finish that. I have another wedding this month...deciding if I should do a blanket for them. I thought it was a pretty good gift for a wedding, but I don't want people to think I am like...stupid or something! LOL.

I can't help it...I love knitting. I love the accomplishment of finishing something. Something that you can wear or use. I like knowing that every single stitch was done with pure love. I knit because I love it...you get my knitting because I love you.

XOXO
