as this post is going to appear. Actually I've been sick for almost two weeks, so my only recent finish is the first pair of socks. Everything else has been waiting since spring for me to take pics.
So, without further ado, first up: Youngest's "red,white, and blue" socks. These were really fun to knit, and because I'm such a nerd, I wonder if they make sock yarn in other countries' flag colors???

48 stitch basic stockinette sock
size: child's large
needles: size 2 dpn's
yarn: Fortissima Colori Socka Color by Schoeller Stahl, color #1776 (how fitting!)
The next two pairs are anklets knit out of miscellaneous sock yarn from my stash. No idea where the ball bands disappeared to.
both pairs are 56 stitch basic stockinette sockssize: women's sm/med
needles: size 2 dpn's
(I think the plum/burgundy pair might be Koigu KPPPM.)
I love how this shawl turned out. It's soft and cozy and drapes just right. It's actually darker and not as bright as my pictures appear.
Lace Throw/#s495 by Plymouth Yarn Design Studioyarn: Country by Naturally Caron, color #0017 Claret
needles: size 9
(I only cast on 69 stitches and then worked the pattern as written,
ending when it was as long as I wanted.)
finished and blocked size: 17 1/2 in wide by 62 in long
And last but not least, a beanie for Oldest...
Bias Hat from the bookNot Just More Socks by Sandi Rosner
yarn: Austermann Step, color #04
needles: 16in circular size 2 and size 2 dpn's

Thank you for your continued visits and sweet comments, I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by my little piece of cyberspace.

I am so encouraged by your sock knitting. I took a class last summer but have yet to finish a pair. Today I am making fingerless gloves to get in a little more practice on those dp needles. Thanks for sharing.
I love those socks!

Great knitting. Love those anklet socks! Makes me want to pick up my own sticks but then I remember I usually throw my yarn and sticks on the floor in a disgruntled mess once I make a mistake. I am not a good mistake-taker-outer when it comes to knitting! :)
Oh yea...good that you are feeling better. How sad to be sick for 2 weeks!
Great knitting! I love the America socks.
There is just some nasty sick going around, I know I've been complaining enough for three people. lol Glad you're on the mend.
Love the socks, anklets, throw, and the hat is wonderful!
Get well!
Oh my gosh, you look very industrious to me! Love everything you have knit, esp. those socks!
I cannot knit to save my life, so I really admire the ability you have to actually make such lovely things!

You keep me motivated, I have no local friends or shops. I thought maybe you were going to have a big Halloween/fall ready for us. Looks like this is going to be a fall weekend in KY. Lows in the 50's high sat. 70's.

Hi Staci! Beautiful finishes! I love the patriotic socks and the beanie! Two weeks! Thats just too long and I sincerely hope you are on the mend. Things here have been hectic and exhausting. Hopefully that will come to an end soon. I am so tired! I hope to get caught up with emails and mail soon!
I hope you're feeling better!!!
Wow you have kinitted some fantastic items!!!
Awesome...I love the stars and stripes!!! I want a pair just for me. Knitting is an art that I never really got into but this looks so fun!!! You are such the creative one! Hope you get feeling better soon, nothing is worse than a summer cold, they seem to linger forever. (sorry, that wasn't encouraging.)
Sorry you have been ill Staci, but glad that you are on the mend. There seem to be lots of nasties doing the rounds this summer.
Love all your knitting, especially the socks. I am soooo jealous, I have the most beautiful sock yarn in my stash and have tried and tried and tried and tried a whole lot more but just cannot master the dpns *sigh*
I'm sending you some healing get well thoughts maybe you could send me some dpns mojo! LOL
Have a grat weekend x
Seems like you've been quite industrious to me!! Everything is just lovely....the beanie rocks!

Erynne
