I surprised myself by making serious headway on the plane with these socks. As you might have guessed, I like using the Foxglove method by Cat Bordhi, putting the increases and decreases on either side of the sole so they look like a traditional sock. I've had this yarn for awhile and I really like the stripes of it. I purposely did not try to match the second sock to save myself a grey hair. Instead I made sure I started deliberately off the colour pattern of the first sock....looks pretty good to me! Another addition to the gift reserve.
I had some Rowanspun Chunky sitting around for awhile, and found this pattern for Super Mittens on ravelry using this yarn. These are for me, I may still embroider around the cuff for some personality. I was thinking oak leaves or acorns, or maybe an argyle design.
I had some Blue Sky Alpaca Dyed Cotton asking to be knit up, and found the Single Rib Scarf by Leigh Radford in One Skein. I whipped this up pretty quick, and it went to Red Yarn's little Maeghan.
More coming!
Ah Julia, you are so sweet! Maeghan was super excited to see both the scarf and her name on your blog! You've been busy!
