Halloween Baby Socks




I loved making these baby socks (for a certain baby girl due on Halloween). I made them from samples of hand-dyed superwash merino by "Baah" of La Jolla yarns.

Jose's Gloves



I've been knitting but have been very lazy about taking the pictures off my camera.


An acquaintance commissioned me to make him some fingerless gloves. What do you think? The newest "mancessory"? The sad part is even though I had him rub the yarn against his neck and try the gloves on as I made them, it turned out he may be allergic to the alpaca yarn I used. He can't wear them for 3 minutes before his arms start to itch. Although he was disappointed, he didn't ask for his money back. This was not something that I could have known beforehand.
