My First Sock!!

Yes, I do mean sock. I've finished the first one of a pair. I should probably wait until finishing the second sock before posting this as a finished project, but I was so excited with how the first one turned out that I had to write about it.

Here's the beginning of the sock, working on the cuff:


And here's where I'm working on the heel:


I couldn't resist trying it on well before it was done:


And here are a few final shots of me wearing the finished sock!

Bib #1

I'm working on a set of bibs for my brother-in-law and his wife, who are expecting their first baby this summer. This is the first bib, in purple. It was a little difficult because I had to create the five petal pieces separately, put them on stitch holders, and then knit them all together. But the challenge was worthwhile because I love the way the bib turned out.



For the other bibs, I have some pink yarn, so I'll do one completely in pink. Then, since the petals are done separately, I'm going to do two more bibs with some variation in the pink and purple (either all the petals and the tie in one color and the body in another or alternating petals in the pink and purple - I haven't completely decided yet).

Pattern: Petal Bib from One Skein
Yarn: Rowan Calmer (75% cotton; 25% acrylic)
