Knitting update

I haven't done a knitting update recently, so here it is...

I've shared the knitted owl puffs with you already. Now a pair of socks has joined them. The socks are for me. I swore I wouldn't buy any more sock yarn until I'd used up the stash I have on hand, but then I went to AC Moore and this pretty striped yarn kept whispering my name. What could I do but  put it into my shopping cart? I always use the Yankee Knitter sock pattern. It's well-written and results in a nice sock.

The yarn is Kroy Sox by Paton's. I do love that sock yarn: 75% wool, 25% nylon.

The "Wisp" scarf or shawl on the left is for a dear friend; the "Easy but Looks Difficult" scarf on the right is for...I'm not sure whom. Both knitting patterns are free on Ravelry. The yarn I got at the Maine Fiber Frolic this past June. It's by Dirty Water Dyeworks. Strange name but lovely fingering weight yarn. (I just discovered the owner of DWD has a great knitting blog. You might want to check it out.)

More knitted critters! I wasn't planning to be knitting more animals so close to Christmas, but I received a request for four lambs, so there you have it.

As you can see, one is still as naked as a jaybird, but her peach cardigan is well underway.

These lambs will be on their way to Georgia in a few days.

That's my knitting update, in case anyone who's a knitter reads my blog.
