March socks....

.....off the needles and already given to my mom for her birthday. They look a lot like February's socks but I found a new, summer weight yarn that I've enjoyed working.

Also, found a yarn shop in North Carolina that I love. I'm sure I'll be going there frequently so I wasted no time in getting acquainted with the proprietor.

She's a bio-chemist in the morning and runs her "dream" yarn shop in the afternoons. She's cool......loved meeting her.

February Socks....

I'm a little behind but have had a shoulder injury that is aggravated by my knitting. I'm getting back into the groove and excited to keep going and see if I can accomplish this goal. I do love knitting socks and last night as I finished these, I realized why.....the kitchener stitch is magical...and even more amazing is the process of "turning the heel".....and finally blocking the finished product magically erases all the mistakes.....Oh, the wonders of knitting socks!!!!!

.....and a pair of hand-warmers or fingerless mittens. These little beauties are fun too, not as magical but as I was at the baseball game the other night with the Rebers, Stephanie was keeping score and her hands were freezing. The thought occurred to me..."....her fingers need to be free but her hands need to be warm"....so I went home and found some Flyer Blue yarn and here you have it....
