More Holiday Knitting

#1 Stocking and Mittens

The stocking is for my great grandson. It's #28 in th4 family series. I used worsted weight acrylic, knit on #5 needles. It used about 185 yards. I also knit 2 pairs of mittens for grandkids, totaling about 150 yds for both pairs. Worsted weight wool knit on #4 needles.

I showed a progress picture for the stocking, The mittens went too fast. Also, it's winter here and the light is not good.
Project #2

I thought I showed progress photos for this one, but here they are. The pattern was an Advent gift by Stephanie van der Linden. It's part of her Advent calendar.

This was my first time doing TAAT. It worked well for the legs, but the feet decrease on the top of the foot, while increasing on the bottom. I finally gave up and used 2 circulars per sock.

What's Up?

I am a groundhog - coming out of my burrow to see the sun.
Oops, wrong time of year.!
I am Dorothy, trying to get to the Emerald City.
You mean that's not me either?

Well, anyway, here's what's been keeping me and Adrienne and a lot of folks busy!






The 50 Socks - 50 States (plus Canada, Mexico, and the US territories) CD/Book is beginning to ship very very soon. It has 57+ Sock Patterns, along with Fun Facts Info for every State & Country & Territory featured.
Our fearless KAL leader - Adrienne - has a really smashing design! Look for the lovely sky blue sock with diamonds! [oh? not diamonds?] The sock is called Bling and comes in two versions - subtle, and not so.
While a shipment next week means the CD/Book will be a belated HOL gift for yourself or a friend, we think it has a lot of fun designs, and hopefully much inspiration! Adrienne's already working on the plans for KAL's in 2010.!
