I was having a little trouble posting originally so I decided to put the pictures up first then edit in the verbiage later, so here goes…
The little brown socks were for the afghans for Afghans group. There was a call out for socks as someone going to Afghanistan for related good works, offered to bring over some socks as part of her luggage. This was a great opportunity for A4A as it seems that with shipping logistics it can take many months for donated items to reach their destination. It was also an effort for them to get some socks donated because it is the least donated item. It was great fun to knit worsted weight socks as requested. They are as cozy as can be and should warm some little feet. I would like a pair for myself. The striped socks are for my Jen who is so good and lovely and talented and is so busy designing the coolest stuff, she can’t be slowed down by a set of 2’s ! Honestly though I was so pleased to give her a little present and she when tried them on they looked great.
The blue and white Fortissima socks were a Christmas gift for a co-worker … my best bud at work. She is a beginning knitter and appreciates a hand made gift. The hat (using Nashua Handknits Vignette) was actually knitted by my other work bud Beth, who has graced this blog by modeling a couple of shawls for me. The hat was for her fiancée. But as this was her first project and we wanted it to look really good, I did the finishing for her.
