I am so done!

I finally finished the other pink baby sock. (I still need to weave in the ends.) If I ever say I am going to make them again, I hope someone will stop me!

To recover from the trauma of those socks, I am knitting dish cloths. Fun to make, various patterns, you always need new ones, and I am going to give them as party favors at this years tea party.

New hat


Found this pattern in Charleston at Knit, a great knitting shop full of patterns and wonderful yarns. I used Jelli Beenz yarn by Plymouth. It is one of their new colors. I will have to find a baby to try it on. I am looking forward to trying the other hat and the 4 needle mittens.

Short-row craazy


I am making these cable cuties again but using the short-row method for the heels and toes. I must admit it is a real struggle. The cable cuff is very easy but the short-row is hard. Last winter one of the yarn shops offered a workshop in this method. I will be the first one to sign up the next time they offer it. I am looking forward to finishing. They will be a gift for my daughter's friend who is having a little girl.
