Here are the socks that I have finished: I'm done with Maria's Roundabouts. I used Ruth Greenwald pattern Roundabout the yarn is by Yarn Pirate for her Booty Club Calamity. I changed the pattern to work the pattern through the foot. I like the change it made in the sock I don't like stockinette for long stretches in a pattern.
I also finished my sock I name Woodland Waterfalls. The pattern is
from Woolgirls first sock club pattern "Waterfalls" by Miss Babs, I used Miss Babs Yummy Superwash Sport 3ply "Woodland Viola". This pair of socks was an easy pair to knit done in 4 days the only hard part was to find a pattern that fit the yarn I tried 5 different pattern before this one worked out. But I like the end results. I made the leg a little longer then the pattern called for and had just enough yarn left over. I had about 6 yds. left so I called it a bit close.
I am now working on a cowl the pattern is "Old Shale Smoke Rings" by Cosette Cornelius-Bates. The yarn is another Miss Babs "Yummy" Hand-Painted Sock & Baby Yarn - 2 ply Superwash. I received this yarn from a test knit for Woolgirl and Miss Babs when I seen this pattern I knit the yarn I had to have. I can't wait to finish to see how it looks so far so good. The colorway is Heartache a beautiful flow of blues, lavender and grey.
I am also working on a test knit for KRW Studio which I will post a picture when I'm allowed to. My socks for work is coming along, I think I only have 5 more pair to make before Christmas and 2 scarves to get done I will get it all finished somehow.
New Yarn Here is the yarn that I got from the test knit for Woolgirl and Miss Babs. Form the left Bluegrass, Lilacs, Tapestry and Heartache. Mom claimed the Lilac for a pair of socks. So I guess I get the others.
On the Home Front
All is going well, Tony's job is keeping him busy. The boys are keeping busy with work and girls or so they say. I just wish they would move out and start their own lives instead of draining mine. Work for me is going well, I finally miss restaurant and am thinking about going back or at least to banquets. I need a challenge again.
Well that about it for now.
So keep your feet warm with nice wool socks. So keep those sticks aclickn' Happily knitting socks. Bye.

Love the Old Shale pattern on that cowl. I'm hoping to get lots of wear out of cowls this Winter - if it ever gets cold! It's not that I enjoy the cold, but I want to wear my wool accessories.
