I worked on the second sock all Tuesday and Tuesday evening so that the pair would be done and ready to bring to my father on Wednesday morning.  I even asked Myria not to let me get out of the house without taking a picture of them.

They came out reasonably well and I believe dad will like them.  I asked him to let me know if there were any problems - you know, the standard stuff: a little too snug, perhaps a hair too long, heel too deep or not deep enough.  I can adjust for any small issues in the next pair.  He’ll never tell me though, he’d think it was being ungrateful.

Oh and, of course, I walked out Wednesday morning and left them on the coffee table :)  So he got them yesterday instead :)

I have also been working on a scarf!

The salmon color in the photograph isn’t quite accurate - there isn’t as much orange in the real thing.  Though there might be eventually - I’m not entirely thrilled with this pink and have been wondering if adding some yellow or orange (or both) with a smidge of green (to keep the color from screaming!) would give me a coppery color.  The yarn is otherwise quite nice - Peer Gynt DK - a little scratchier than I’d prefer but that may change after washing.

The lace patterns are via Jennifer Fleury’s Cat’s Face Lace Socks.  She tells me that the paw lace pattern is quite old.  However, the face lace is entirely her creation and she has graciously given me permission to use it for a free pattern (already in the works).  Very clever knitter, that girl, not to mention nice!

See the “Knitting Chatter” button on the side bar for more information.

Chatters is on for Saturday evening.  Bring your knitting (crocheting, what-have-you, etc.) and join the fun.

And have a wonderful weekend!
