Fun Stuff

Just thought I would show off the next 2 items I have on my needles. The first is a pair of socks for my brother-in-law Tom. He has been on me for years to make him a pair and so I call this pair of socks "It's about Time Tom Socks". These are the first I have ever done 2 at a time and I am happy so far!




The next project is the pattern from my first ever sock club. I decided to treat myself this year since I have stopped smoking and joined a sock club (or 2). Anyway, this pattern is called Wullenstudio Lace Petal socks from Sheila Rovelstadd Designs. Sheila's sock yarn is so soft and squooshy! I love it! Her web site is www.knitswithsticks.com if you are interested. She names all her sock yarn after songs and this colorway is called "The Girl from Ipanema" I remember this song from when I was young and I would play it on our player piano. It was a fun song to sing!






I hope everyone has a happy Sunday! The weather is gorgeous here in Delaware today. I may go and knit on the deck today.....
