Knitting update

Most of my money these days is going to pay off bills and friends that I owe money to. That's good news. For one thing, I'm paying off bills and friends that I owe money to. For another, I am devoting a lot more time to pastimes that don't require much money. That means knitting, and a lot of it.

Brooke's sister is expecting a daughter in November, and I volunteered for the task of knitting some nice things for the impending niece. I did okay, with my first ever sweater:

It's far from perfect, but I don't think it's bad at all for a first try. I also made a hat:

I think it's pretty darn cute, even if they will have to roll it up quite a bit to fit a newborn head.

Once I got those projects down, I decided to put together something for Sarah, the older niece. Her request was for a pair of socks. So here's that project, still in progress:

There were several false starts, partly because that double moss stitch is challenging the first time through, and partly because I haven't done much sock knitting for a while. It's coming along nicely though, and I've started work on the gusset.

Okay, so that's where my knitting is at now. Other projects in the queue include a scarf for my mom and another pair of socks for Brooke.
