I continue to finish more things

Since I have joined Ravelry.com it is hard for me to keep up with posting here as well.. so here are a few things I have accomplished in June... and late May.

I am currently designing a sweater for my son and will post pictures soon....

I also have started several other projects... and am looking at Christmas items.. [gifts]... so I will not feel rushed come November/December.

In the mean time.. here are a few of my recently finished objects.....


I have finished yet another pair of socks... This time they were two at a time... I don't know that I am a fan yet.. but I will try again this may have been too hard a pattern to start with... I gave these to a co-worker on the event of her retirement. They are made with Elann Espirit.. much like Cascade fixation.. but different color ways and lesser costs...


And before this I had finished some socks in Austerman Step.. using a purl lace sock pattern from SOCKS, SOCKS, SOCKS... I love these.... They were as much a joy to knit [the yarn is so soft and fun] as they feel on my feet.



And finally... I have finished my Orange/Brown/Green roving. I decided to Navajo ply it due to the fact that one bobbin was older than the other.. and although this was my first time Navajo plying.. I think I am in love... I like it much better.. don't have the extra singles I usually end up with otherwise.. and found I had better control...... So far I don't know how much yardage I have... But I believe I have enough for a scarf... maybe something more... I will have to consider who it is for... As these are really not my colors.. but I enjoy looking at it ..... I spun this on my Kromski Mazurka.. and plied it on my Majacraft Saxony...

SO... Here are my final balls..
