At long last!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes last week. I’m mostly over my cold now. Strangely, it was mild (as in I didn’t need much medicine), but also was lingering and annoying. I was very glad to finally get a good night’s sleep!

I managed to finish three garter squares for Warm Up America, but I didn’t feel well enough for the MOA and Knit-Out, so I’ve mailed them directly to the organization. No pictures of the squares; they were knit with Bernat Softee doubled, left over from this blanket (scroll down a little bit).

Once the squares were finished, I eagerly returned to the Fluted Banister socks, because the toes were all that was left to knit. Here’s the ex-UFO:

I’m so very happy with how these turned out. They fit perfectly. Molly (1SSP) gifted me this yarn last summer, thank you!

Tomorrow, I’ll post a contest, which I hope you’ll enjoy! :)
