When I think of the projects I have to share this week I mostly think, FINALLY – it’s about time! My Jelly Bean socks, were started in August 2012 as part of a KAL! The delay in finishing these is due purely to my own distractions. The yarn is Green Mountain Spinnery Sock Art – Forest in Grape Swirl. I really wish we weren’t in a heat wave because I am so antsy to wear them, they feel that good! The Jelly Bean pattern has a few features I am looking forward to doing again – garter stitch heel and toe and a ribbed sole.
The Monster Rattle was started months ago (I intended on making these for Nate, but yeah – he’s almost 2!). I finally finished one up to give to my newest cousin before he gets too big for a silly rattle. I used random bits of cotton from the stash for fun colors, and the pattern has lots of inspiration for customizing as you see fit.
Take a blog break and see what others have finished this week!
love the texture of those socks. I long ago queued a rattle pattern on Rav but I am thinking before I ever get around to it baby boy will be long out of that stage 🙁
Hooray, finished Jellybean socks – they look awesome! The monster rattle is adorable, too!
