A Few FO's - that's a good thing....

The "secret" project is finished - and I can't post the picture... that makes TWO finished objects that I cannot post about - but, know that they are done!!!

But, here's a few things I CAN post about...

It's fall, let's admit it.. So, to kick off the new season - here's a cutie in honor of Hannibal the Deceased...



And a final picture of the fun I had making Gabi's (Paige's Niece) bootie socks - I had to get them completed so when I see Paige at the end of this month, I can give them to her



And...



I have leftover yarn and bought a "solid" to match both that I think I'm going to try to make matching hats (gotta coordinate you know) - so, when she arrives in the US this fall/winter - she is 'stylin'!

Well, off to take some cough "stuff" - Bree got sinus/head cold this weekend and was home from school the beginning of the week, I started it yesterday and Bill is home today with it - So, I'll try NOT to spread cyber germs...

A Pair of Socks (Literally) plus one

Well, as spoken about (more than once)- Here are the pictures of Sarah's very own sock pattern socks -

They are knit from Koigu (2 skeins) which I had 26 approx yards leftover on each - From cuff to heel flap was 5-1/2inches - I could have gone 6" - I used size 1 circs and like the density - It is interesting to see after doing the heel flap/heel turn and then gusset - how the colors pooled - then went back to striping - kind of funny how it is purple on one foot and orange on the other - Bree LOVES this color and if out and about, I've been told to find it so she can have a pair made - LOL!



Then I moved over to a Knitting At Noon pattern I purchased that included four different patterns - Bree picked the yarn - Cherry Tree Hill - it is a soft Turquoisey-Purple varigated - again with size 1 circs, this pattern is the 1st of the four (as I LOVE all four patterns) called Sorbet Cooler - pictures aren't the best as they are not of her wearing them - I have a TON of yarn left over and may use it to make "footies" for myself - or something -



I also have ONE Gabi bootie sock (using Sarah's Baby Claire's bootie sock pattern) finished! (done in one evening - these are SO much fun, so easy and SO SO quick!) I told Paige (Auntie to Gabi) that she may get MORE of them since I enjoyed making it so much and Gabi is the only little one I know of.. The sock is out of Cascade Fixation (this is so nice to work with) on size 3 circs - and since I haven't made the 2nd one (goal for this evening) I'm not sure how much yarn will be left over -




So, it is literally a pair of a pair of socks noted here today (plus one) -
