And this week I hardly travelled! This sock has been to Chicago and back, Rhinebeck and back, to day long meetings, bus rides, car rides … and they are done done done.
I did not take the chance of matching up the colors and running out of yarn - turns out I was worrying too much as I have a good amount left. So the socks are a little mismatched but once in shoes, who can tell?

Basic sock, Twisted Fibers Ravelry yarn. I start on size 2 dpns with 56stitches then I rib 2×2 for about an inch. Knit stockinette to heel then do a traditional heel, knit within 2″ of toe and do my decreases every other row til 4st on each needle remain. Then I use the kitchener stitch, bring it together and then weave in ends.

Before I start another project, I aim to finish all the sweaters I have laying around waiting to be sewn up. It is NOT my favorite part!

I do! This is the Banana Republic Knock off hat that was posted to craftster. It was a quick and easy knit.

I had to break out my button box to find a button for it.

I have a couple special ones. On the left are some glass buttons I received in a swap. On the right are some bakelite buttons I bought at an estate sale.

These buttons were in the same esate sale. The back says “Made in Czechoslovakia.”

And this bakelite bling baby. I think I need to make more hats

Not too many.

Dashing.

Reasonably Hip with the awesome bathroom shot.

Maine Mitts (yeah you’ve seen them before).

Hat for Beaner (Briar Rose pattern).
