So, she is finished but not blocked. I love the way it turned out but I'm hoping that it blocks into a better size. Right now it's not quite a grown-up size. As you know, Nefertiti is slightly less than life-size. I would like to try the pattern again...it's very easy. Maybe with a slightly larger needle size - although I did have gauge.
I have also finished the White Lightning socks. And, once again, the small pout. I took both these projects with me on our trip. But I didn't bring the first sock. So, my ribbing is slightly shorter on number two because I thought I'd finished that part before I packed it away. Sort of a natural stopping place, I thought. But I over-estimated my cleverness. So, not totally happy with these. I hope the recipient is forgiving.
The weather has turned cooler - had to put the furnace on yesterday! Now is the time to get out that felted clog pattern that I've been wanting to make for at least two years. I do have to find it...my daughter has sent it to me twice. I think I did something very sensible with it the last time so I'd not lose it again. But I fear for my ability to be clever.
Back to the needles. I have so much still to finish.

I love that colored zig-zag pattern on the beret, however did you do that, I'm impressed! Did you make those slippers?
That hat is GORGEOUS!!!
Lx
Gorgeous as usual! I've started a sailboat pattern baby blanket for one of Breezy's good friends. And I've already messed it up and have to start over...because I don't know how to undo just to the error. I love knitting. LOL
But the beauty of making something by hand is that sometimes there are little errors or differences. Bit like us humans really; our 2 feet are not identical sizes! So the socks will probably fit perfectly.
Lol re the clever "putting away" of the pattern, I do that regularly, too clever for myself!
You're still going great with the stash project, must be getting itchy to buy new yarn soon!!
I think the recipient would be thrilled to have a pair of hand knit socks--flaws and all. The beret is adorable.
While you get out the boots & scarves I need to put all mine away. Have a great day.
