Stupid Blogspot froze my blog, so no posts for the last coupla weeks. I'm not too happy about that, cuz I did a lot of knitting. My bro and his wife and kid were in town for a week, so I wanted to make them gifts. After surreptitiously asking each the other's fave colors, I decided on socks for both and a lacy sweater for my niece. My bro's sox were Cherry Tree Hill Supersock. I was really surprised at the way the colors turned out, though. In the hank, it looked mostly black with some splashes of blue, magenta and green, but it gave out even spirals instead. Not that it was ugly, it was just not what I'd expected. Eh.
For my sis-in-law, I frogged a pair of socks that had been bothering me. Lorna's Laces shepard sock in shades of pink and white. Plain tall socks for my bro, completely done; feather and fan legs for my SIL, one almost done. And the baby's sweater is completely done, other than sewing the pieces together.
I also finished the last little bits on my fishnets and wove the ends in on 3 or 4 different pairs of socks. Oh, and knit a chemo-style hat for my husband's grandma- that took me less than an hour. Well, times 3, cuz I kept having to resize it.
Pix next time of all of the above.
