First a holiday gift. It's finished, but needs a partner for enough yardage, so I'll show it again later. It's #28 in our family series. Each stocking is different, but follows the same basic design. About 200 yds of worsted weight acrylic were used.
Socks in progress
SKA Mystery Sock - I'm knitting one at a time, because of other commitments. Yarn is Hand Maiden Casbah, and the designer is Lisa Stichweh.
Second sock is from the Ram Club, called Alpine Hiker designed by Charles Voth.
As the club implies, the yarn came with the pattern. It is from the Unique Sheep. I had to reknit the foot, because it was too small, but this try fits. They're for DH.

"Love washcloth" by Heather Mountain, free on Ravelry. I added 10 stitches to the pattern so I could have a 5 stitch seed border on both sides and added 5 rows bottom and top in seed stitch. 3.5mm needle in 8 ply cotton from Bendigo.
Both patterns from knitwits heaven and took less than a day from casting on. I finished the house last night and cast on for the peacock and finished all but the binding off this evening. I forgot to take a progress pic, so didn't bind off. Better pics when blocked. I think I will use a smaller needle for the next peacock. 8 ply cotton for the peacock using 3.5mm needles that I used for the daffodil. 10 ply cotton for the house. 4mm needles. Will make a yellow house soon and a blue peacock.
