Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely snowfall and time with friends and family as much as I am!!

I kicked off the holiday season by finishing up my first knitted Christmas present:



As I mentioned before, they're the Quidditch Socks from Charmed Knits. I used Lana Grossa Meilenweit yarn which I used my initial SITCKAL coupon to buy. It's my first time using this yarn and it seems like a nice, basic sock yarn. I think it'll wear pretty well.

Great KAL!

I had a great time at the KAL get together on Sunday. I couldn't believe how fast the evening passed. I did manage to finish up the first of the Quidditch socks:



I don't think I'll be able to finish the second sock before tomorrow night is over, so I guess for me the total is one pair finished and two single socks that don't match each other finished. Not bad. I plan to continue on with the KAL, so you will see the completed Quidditch socks, hopefully by the end of next month.

New Socks Started

I started another pair of socks for the KAL. Since the month is half over already, I don't think I'll be able to get the whole pair finished by the end of the month, but I should have no problem finishing by Christmas, the real due date.



They are the Quidditch Socks from "Charmed Knits". They look green and blue, but the main color is actually a steel gray - it definitely has a blue cast to it, but not as blue as that picture looks. They are a gift for my nephew. The yarn is Lana Grossa Meilenweit, newly acquired from The Yarnery.

Glad to be knitting socks in these Cities

First up for me is finishing the second of this sock:



They are in Jojoland Melody, from a Jojoland leaflet, called Pineapple Socks. I'm about halfway through the foot on the second sock, so I should be able to finish that pair up pretty quickly, even though I'm in the grips of my holiday knitting too. In that spirit, I'm also going to start a pair of Harry Potter socks to match the sweater I'm making my nephew for Christmas - in Slytherin colors.
