I've been chugging along on my Christmas knitting and have almost made the deadline. Everything is finished except this pair of neverending, boring grey socks for my daughters boyfriend and I have until December 29th for those so there is still hope.
I made these mittens and socks for my friend and co-worker Pam. She loved the last socks I made her but asked for something brighter next time. I think I managed to fill her request with these ones! She saw me making mitts to donate to the local foodbank and asked if I made them in big sizes. I assured her that I didn't and then made these for her for Christmas. The yarn was something I found in my stash that I bought at the Spinrite outlet store a few years ago. I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy more now. It's called Aspen and has 15% merino wool content and it is sooooo soft. I can just see a really cosy sweater made with it.

I'm so glad I stopped to take a look here. Your socks (and mittens and afghans) are beautiful. So inspiring!
Oh, I love the sock! That's Kroy isn't it?
One thing I *so* miss about living in Ontario is the outlet. I grew up going to Listowel with my mum at least once a month. Brings back fond memories. - Nicola
