Last weekend OJ and I got away for a few days when we took a 3 night cruise to Ensenada. We had a great time even though it was a short trip. Aside from a few great pictures, a bottle of tequila, some vanilla and a new leather bag, I also brought home a fantastic cold. Hard to say if I picked up the bug on the ship, the shuttle bus or the airplane, but I got it in spades. My head is finally clearing up so I thought I would post some pictures of some more finished items up.
This bag was knit my niece years ago, in fact she was still in high school and now she is 21. Anyway, it was her first knitting project and she asked me to bind off and felt it for her - well like 4 years later I finally got it done. It is a beautiful bag and I can't wait to finally give it to her.
These socks were started a couple of years ago. The pattern is Anniversary socks from the book Interweaves 25 favorite socks. The yarn is Nature's pallet and they were knit on size 1s with 64 stitches cast on. I absolutely love the color of this yarn, it has so much depth and the feel is wonderful.
I am working on another pair of UFO socks - so if I can keep up this pace I should have another pair ready to share soon! Hopefully next weekend my stuffy head will be gone and I can get back in my sewing room.
