Shelly's scarf done, Louie's socks cast on!

Wow, I'm really on a roll right now. I've finished Shelly's scarf tonight and last night I cast on my brother, Louie's socks. His socks are knit with worsted weight yarn to make them thicker and warmer. I'm doing them so he can wear them with his boots this winter. Technically they are for Christmas but he knows I'm doing them so it isn't a suprise. I hope he likes them. Hopefully I can get him to send me a picture of him wearing them so I can post it. I'll post a picture of Shelly and her scarf also.

Finished projects

I wanted to quickly blog about my 2 most recent finished projects. I finished the socks I was knitting for my hubby Anthony. These were knitted cuff down using the Classic Sock pattern from 2-At-A-Time sock book. I used Regia yarn we had purchased in England a few years back. I just BARELY had enough yarn even though my gauge was right on and I was knitting the medium size. Learned my lesson when knitting socks for Anthony, or men in general. I need to knit them toe up!

Then I also finished a scarf that I was knitting for my step-daughter Rachel. This was knitted from the Kool Aid dyed roving that I talked about before. I'm really pleased with how the colors came out and how the striping is varied. Its very soft and should be very comfortable to wear.
