Progress so far on Teagan's sock. I haven't had a lot of time to work on it, but it goes fast when I do get to it! It looks small, but the ribbing stretches quite a bit. Seemed like a perfect fit this morning. Teagan knows I'm knitting them for her, but I'm hoping after finishing (and trying on) the first one, she'll forget for a month so I can gift her with them at christmas.

I went to the yarn store in Colwood this weekend, in search of some veregated Sox yarn (Bernat) for socks for Teagan. They had the colourway in the photo, on the left, that I think should do nicely. The yarn on the right just called to me from the shelf - they had a sample knit up and it's so pretty and bright. I might make an earflap hat for Teagan out of it.

Face Cloths

I've been knitting some face cloths lately. My bigger projects (Accordion sweater for Teagan, blanket, etc) were all bugging me, and I needed some instant gratification. I'm enjoying the simple lace patterns, enough detail to keep it interesting but still portable tv knitting.

I'm thinking of making up bath Tea or bath salts to package with them as gifts for the daycare staff where my daughter is....
