Something finished!

I haven't been knitting socks this year, I have been hooked on shawls. Just finished 22 Leaves using knit picks essential in pine.

November Contribution

No socks for me this month but I finished:

2 Noah's Ark baby blankets from by Michele Wilcox made with Red Heart Supersaver on J crochet hook.
Diamond Leaf Mitts by Miranda Davies made with Brown Sheep Co Lambs Pride Superwash on US 7.
and Basket Weave fingerless gloves by Mary Hough with unknown natural color yarn purchased at Stitches West on a cone.

One finished and one in progress

I have not been able to knit much the last few months. I had back surgery in October and have been recuperating since then. I am just now able to concentrate and sit for extended periods of time. So here are two of the projects I have worked on in November.

On the left is a pair of fingerless gloves for my mother for Christmas.

Pattern: purchased from Patternworks; Designed by Barb Kervin for Kollage Yarns

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft; 1 skein

Color: Country Blue

On the right is a partial sock.

Pattern: from the book Socks from the Toe Up; Diamond Gansey Socks

Yarn: Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn; 75% washable wool/25% nylon; 2 skeins

Color: Navy Royale

I like the idea of the new blog. I do like knitting a variety of different garments--not just socks. But it will be an adjustment not having a monthly deadline for socks!

November contribution: Trio of socks

These socks have a lot to tell.
The blue-orange one was the first of my fair isle addiction, a creation of myself. The second one was born while the first pair was still in progress, also my own creation. And then Tama came along with the leaves on sock three so a thirth pattern was set up the needles.
This month, I finally finished the last of six: the white with green sock.
Unfortunatly my camera is playing hide and seek, but I hope to post the complete pair before the end of November.
All socks are made with left overs, mostly from Lana Grossa sockyarn. The

blue yarn is with soya, also from Lana Grossa.
