Socks

 Socks continue to fall from the needles. Another pair for myself. I may have to stop soon because I've got significantly more socks than I can wear in a week and I'm running out of space in my sock drawer.

Yeah......Who am I kidding? This is not going to stop me from knitting socks for myself or anyone else for that matter.

Pattern: Improvised Basic Sock
Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll Gradient Duo in Stardust
Needle: 2.5mm
Gauge: 41 stitches and 46 rows


Other News
I think I need new mittens, my hands are feeling the cold a lot more this year than I remember from past winters. Maybe it's the new blood pressure drugs; I don't know. Anyway, the mittens I've used the most for the past several years are made from fingering weight yarn, hang on here the are: Podster Mitts. And they just don't seem warm enough this year. Fortunately I placed a huge Knit Picks order last week, mostly for sweaters, but there should be enough leftovers for mittens and hats. Maybe even a cowl, not sure about that though.

Current Weather
4C and sunny. Feels like winter out there.
