Cheerful Images on a Bleak Day

Image
A planned day off, only coincidentally in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Hoping this finds everyone safe and dry!  I had some time this morning to complete work on the following: EZ 100th Anniversary Pi Shawl , Camping half-circle version, made with Color Changing Cotton (another gift from Neuro!!).  Blocking on a king size bed, so you can guess the dimensions somewhat: AlliGator Bag  (a kit by Morehouse Farms) - looking a little less swampy here:

Some Finishing Is Actually Happening Here

Image
Scylla, in Zombie BBQ - complete in all their toe-up-ness: Unleaving, in a custom dyed sock weight, modeled by a very tolerant canine: All for me, so no mad deadline rushes - although the cold weather is upon us, so they will get good use very quickly!

An Upcoming FO

Image
Overheard by a passer-by near my house the other day: "Hey, honey - the mail is here!" "Great!  Are my eyeballs in there??" Wait until you see the rest of this almost-FO!  And it's not even Halloween-themed!

Hats and Socks

Image
We've had some cool weather here lately, which gives me a great opportunity to show off (and try on, ha!!) some of the things I've managed to finish in the past few days. The two hats were made for a friend, by special request, for friends undergoing chemo treatments.  Both are stash acrylic/wool blends I've had for several years; the blue hat is Ribbons of Hope , and pink hat is Dembow .  Both were fun and fast! Olympian Socks  - also fun and fast! No links for the next two patterns - Ivy Trellis Socks - and - Tea Time Socks (with modification on the foot, lice instead of crazy zig-zags).  Not fast, somewhat fun. More output to come, as the WIPs are piling up amidst the latest item of knitting obsession - the toe-up sock, which has had other hidden adventures within!
