On (and Off) the Needles–September 21st

This week I have a project on the needles and one off the needles.

Last weekend I finished my Olympic Nanner socks that were on the needles last week.  I’m very happy to have them done well before they will be gifted to my friend!!  I love the pattern as well as the yarn.  I will certainly knit this pattern again and I have already bought another skein of this yarn in a different colorway to make a pair of socks for myself.

After I finished the socks I cast on a hat that will likely be a Christmas gift this year.  It’s a slouchy Sockhead Hat using Rock Creek Soper Soft Sock yarn in the Golf Pants colorway.  I originally bought the yarn for a mini swap but the skein was short for the swap, so a hat it is becoming…

There is a Paton's Classic Wool that is very similar in color to that Golf Pants one. I had some leftover from another project so I combined it with a solid blue yarn and made a Keep Me Warm vest for Wool-aid. You socks are nice. Isn't it funny how the yarn looks totally different at the heels?
