....two on the needles. And both are socks. The first is a pair of heavy boot socks for our nephew. I'm using Briggs & Little Tuffy for these. They should last, as I'm knitting them at quite a firm gauge. Nearly finished the first sock as well as the first skein of yarn. It'll be close.
The second project is a request from a friend. She's asked for a pair of "barn socks" for her youngest grand-daughter, born in November. I used the smallest size from my "book of patterns", and they're cute but I think I'll do another set on fewer stitches and a shorter foot. More baby-size as opposed to small child-sized.
The snow has stopped falling here. It snowed all day and was still coming down when we went to bed last evening. And the wind was blowing fiercely. We've got some big drifts out there! I'll take some pics when it's a bit brighter outdoors. But being stuck inside was a good thing. I had some time to do more dyeing. This time I used up the skeins of superwash wool in worsted weight. And I have four beautiful blue skeins hanging to dry. :)
Til later ~ keep knitting!
