Diagonal Cross Rib Socks using Knitpicks Essentail, in Fawn. I still love this yarn:
These are Waving Lace Socks in Lorna's Laces, Shepherd Sock, Aqua:
This pattern had it in for me, and demanded that I use the yarn it called for to do it. In other words, my brain can't put two and two together to come up with socks:
One more to go from The Favorite Socks Book. I have the damn things almost done, but guess who ran out of !@#$%^$@# yarn, ordered more, found out it was on backorder and only got it shipped from the warehouse to me TODAY.....
I have one done. Grandma's getting it in a box with a paper cutout of the other one. I think she'll let it slide! Especially when I tell her that my friend's new baby got a Christmas Dress out of the rest of it:
Knitty gave me a great 11th hour idea for another pair of socks for another person--the Lighthouse Gansey Socks by Anne Hanson of Knitspot Patterns

Done in Gedfria Fashion Trend Sportivo, 5763 (no colorway name)--I never like barber poles on the ball, but the look SO COOL when you knit 'em up:
I've had a good time making all of this stuff for people. I like to make things, and it's even better when the things I give make SMILES. It's all good!
If anyone reads this blog (let me know if you do--even if you happen to be just passing by!) I hope that you have a safe, happy and peaceful Holiday, whatever that holiday happens to be.
Have a Merry Christmas! Love the Knittah, and the Dog!
