Saturday Stash

Hmmm...I seem to have missed a Saturday.  Now where did that one go?  I have been knitting.  Honest.

I  don't have much to show since I forgot to take photos of the last two soaker bibs for Gabby.  Just for the record, the wicking effect of a wool bib is not a myth.  it actually works.  So, if you know a teething baby, this would be a great gift.  Washable wool sock yarn held double works really well with Elaine Fitzpatrick's patterns.  You can find oodles of these cute little critter bibs on her blog, Down Cloverlaine.  Ooh!  I just visited to get the link and she's created the cutest little dog - with a waggly tail.  Take a look.

And here's half a pair of socks.  These are Finchy Feet...can you see the colors of the pretty house finch?  They will be for my grand-daughter who commented that she had outgrown all her Grammy socks.  And winter is coming, you know.  The patterned part is in Feather and Fan which I think is perfect for feet that fly like those finches. 

And youngest grand-daughter needed a new sweater.  She's growing, growing, growing.  So, this is still in the bits and pieces stage.  Just working on the hood now.  Later, I'm going through the stash to find some fancy yarn to give this a bit of oomph!  A little too plain for me. 

Back to knitting...I  have more unfinished stuff, I know.  There are at least three projects that I'm not even talking about that sit quietly on the table and sigh with exaggerated patience.  Soon, my dears, soon.
