September socks. Used Knit Picks Elegance. Difficult to knit because of their size. My wrist hurt long before I could finish the sock.
I will send them to Socks for Soldiers.

Smocking Mug Cover
Found the pattern on a blog somewhere. Can't find it now. It is called a Mug and French Press Jacket. The original pattern is knit from the bottom up. I then found a pattern that knit from the top down. I liked the way the top down pattern looked so I used that one.
I knit this and the mitts for a Holiday Exchange at Knit 'n Chat.
This was a fun knit and I think I'm going to knit more mug covers. They will make great gifts.

Brian's Scarf
Brian bought this yarn when he took a knitting class at school. He never finished the scarf so I figured I would finish it for him. I use the Men's Cashmere Scarf pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It was an easy knit. Yarn is Encore.
Big Black Socks
Here is my first pair of Socks for Soldiers. They were my September Socks. They are washed and dried ready to be sent. One problem. I don't remember where I left them. Typical of me. I used Knit Picks Essential in Black. They took a long time to knit because the leg and foot are 12 inches long.
I hope to knit two pairs of Socks for Soldiers in 2008. I'll just buy the yarn and have them in my bag as my take along project.

October Sock of the Month
Here are my October Socks. I did finish the September sock I just haven't taken a picture yet.
These are Opal yarn I bought in 2001. A simple vanilla pattern so you can see the color changes in the yarn.

Knitting
I've been able to start knitting again. A few weeks ago I started having pain in my wrist so I took a break. Now I just let myself knit for short periods.
Today I finshed my October socks. Opal yarn using a vanilla pattern.
Last week I was able to finish a scarf that will be sent to my exchange partner from Knit and Chat.
Later today I will start back on my September socks. Not sure when I finish them but I do think they are the reason I hurt my wrist. I am using Knit Picks Essential on size 1 dpns and I think the weight of the yarn on such small needles were a bit tough for my wrist.
I do have yarn to make a hat and scarf with larger needles so I may switch back and forth between them and the socks to help my wrist out. At the first twinge of discomfort I do stop knitting and take a few days rest. Now willing to risk the use of my hands just to knit.

Bobbled Lattice Sox
I finished my August Sock of the Month awhile ago. I just forgot to come in here and show them. They are knit from Opal yarn that I got as part of the Opalchatters Sock of the Month in 2001. I did knit one sock then. I guess I lost it. So I knit this pair with a smaller cuff. I didn't want to run out of yarn.

Boyfriend Socks
My June Sock of the Month. Still haven't given them to my husband. I am so slow.The yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. The yarn is nice except with black yarn it was very easy to split the stitches. I hate working with black yarn.
