I have been making some progress on my knitting, but I haven't posted these in a while. First up I started a pair of sock for my dad, Toe up, the same pattern as the Socks that Rock in the previous post. Except I have added more stitches to accommodate a mans foot size.

These are knit with Louet Gems-Sportweight, for some reason I was thinking this yarn was fingering weight, all the while I was confused. So these are some dense socks, as I decided to knit them on 1s instead of say 3s.  I am not sure if I should rip them out and start over, now that I realize I am working with sport weight yarn... duh.  Either way I think my dad is going to love them, I was so happy he asked me to knit him a pair!

While I was visiting my family I ended up showing my mom her unfinished Birch. I realize it has been quite a while since i posted a progress picture, and just yesterday someone asked me if i was finished. Well no, I am not finished yet, but I just started the third and hopefully finally ball of yarn.

I still enjoy working on this project even though it has kinda taken a back seat to a few other projects.  What keeps me moving along is seeing it all blocked. Yummy lace. I think I even have my second lace project already picked out.

And lastly here are my sad Elfin sock,  I have made really no progress on these in a while. I think they are feeling neglected. Cause you know knitwear has feelings.

To make up for my ignoring them, I have big plans for them this weekend. i have decided they will accompany me and my darling husband to the Laker game at the Staple Center this Saturday. Yep, as a Christmas present from Daniel's family we are going to a game! Actually it is a Lakers vs Clippers game so it should be exciting. And my Elfin socks will be there keeping me company.
