I've started the Merino Lace Socks from Favorite Socks for my mother for Christmas and have fallen in love. The yarn is such a pretty color (pictures really don't do it justice) and the pattern is fun and beautiful. I'd stay up all night to work on these socks. In fact, I had my very first knitting in line experience with them as I waited to vote (in advance) last Thursday!
Additionally, I've completed 3 more pairs of baby Legwarmies - one for my little one, and two as gifts for some pregnant friends. I still love that Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and hope to make more babywear items with it in the future! One of my knitty friends even used it to make a sweater for us!
Another good knitty friend made us the most amazing baby sweater for our little one.
I'm telling you, folks, this gal can knit the pants off anyone! No wonder this sweater is a favorite of 15 Ravellers! We really feel lucky to have recieved such a special gift from such a special friend.The Avery Sweater was well-received and arrived just in time for fall in NYC.
Isn't he handsome?
I started my first toe-up socks but have put them on hold while I work on Mom's socks. They're a very simple stockinette, so it may be a while before I get back to them. I've collected quite a few hanks of beautiful sock yarn to knit more patterns from Favorite Socks, so who knows what may lie ahead.
You don't have to quit knitting when you've had a child....do you?
