It has been a while since I've picked up my needles or a crochet hook, or posted here. Oops. There is simply just too much going on, right now. Of course, there usually IS too much going on at my house. I did manage to get one sock knit for Kirstin. Here's a pic of the WIP: The sock is made in Bernat Satin Sport in the Meadow colorway. I don't know if you can see it, but I added a lacework "K" on the side of the ankle. Now I have to get busy on the second sock. Maybe I'll have it done in time for Christmas? j/k I think I am suffering from "second sock syndrome" and should probably try the magic loop technique and make two at a time instead of just one on dpns.
I also whipped up a couple of cotton baby bibs: one knit, and one crocheted, both with hearts in the middle. I'll post pics as soon as I can. I have in mind an idea for a pattern for a bib that I think will be very cool; more on that at another time.
Now, it's time to consider what to make for Christmas this year. One of my nieces has said she likes mittens. Mittens are great, but...I need them to be extra special and warm. I'm thinking a double-thick pair: outer layer wool, inner layer alpaca. That ought to keep the cold out, eh? I am so not waiting for the last minute like I did last year with the Cinderella sweater. I won't (I hope?) be doing any duplicate stitch, either. What a PITA that was.
That's all for now...my knitting and crocheting (at least for now), is being done strictly in my head. Scarey thought, eh? ;-)
