My very first knit socks. Knit from Trekking yarn found at a yard sale about 3 or 4 years ago. The yarn was saved until working up the nerve to learn how to knit socks. They weren't as hard as I feared!! Now my stash has enough yarn for 10 more pair. This is the beginning of the Peace Suit from knit.1 winter 2007 issue. The color is actually a deep purple with lime edging. The front of the sweater will have a peace sign in white. It will look great on Griffin, I hope. my gague may be off. it looks a little wide....... http://www.knit1mag.com/
Here's an ear flap cap that I knit for Griffin from wool yarn, Kilcarra by Cottage. Another yard sale buy. The wool is too scratchy for a baby, so now I'm knitting it in a Berella acrylic. The free pattern is at http://heyjulie.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/babykids-earflap-hat/ Wonderful instructions! easy to knit.
The item on the left is the first of a pair of Felt Clogs, by Fiber Trends. http://www.fibertrends.com/
The color is actually purple, it shows better in the next picture. I have to knit the second clog before felting both of them.



The little sock pattern is from Lion Brands Knit Child's Solid Sock, knit in their Autumn variegated yarn. It is the first half of Griffin's first Grammy-knit socks.


Here's the purple clog from the top view. That's my size 10 foot for size comparison....


The clogs are knit in Cascade Wool with Plymouth Yarn Furlauro for furry trim.
I am finding that it is alot easier to start new projects than finish the old ones. Especially if it's a pair of something. Just seems like you should be done when you finish that first sock!
