Behold!
The first Breeze sock for my sockapalooza 4 pal. I'm nearly finished with the second sock and hope to have it completed within the next few days. I really like the way these are knitting up. :)
This is the Not-Quite-Straight Scarf. It's knit on the bias and I started it while in Cold Spring. I completed it yesterday and will post the final pic once it's been blocked.
This is the yarn used for the above scarf. It was obtained by a swap on ravelry. It's a handspun/handpainted yarn that was originally purchased on ebay. Lovely pastel colors, that are surprisingly vibrant.
Finished socks made with Calmer. The pattern was self-designed using a Shetland Feather lace panel on the sides. The socks are very stretchy, which is a necessity in any socks knit for my mom. However, I'm not entirely thrilled with the design. Oh well, mom loves them.. and I highly recommend using Calmer for socks.. sooo comfy!
From this lovely little yarn shop in Chicago, the following were purchased...
Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sockin Bittersweet
Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sockin Mineshaft
Frog notions holder by Clover(too cute to be resisted)
The yarns will be used for socks for Autumn & Kris, since they picked out the colors. Can't decide if I will be hanging on to the frog or if I will be gifting it in one of my sp exchanges.

Love those Breeze socks, and the frog notions holder. I've been sorely tempted by Clover's new little animals, but have resisted so far.
Your socks are so lovely. I love the ones made with Calmer...and your frog is adorable. :)
I like the socks you made for your mother. They look great.
I have to ditto everyone's thoughts on your mother's socks. They're fabulous. You always have the best taste in yarn.
