I'm not nearly as industrious

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 socks

size: 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 Studio

yarn: 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 book

Not Just More Socks by Sandi Rosner

Phew! Well that's all for me folks, seems like enough doesn't it? Thank you for your continued visits and sweet comments, I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by my little piece of cyberspace.
