Here’s PPBB #9 going off to another baby shower at Nate & Christina’s church in Maine.

I started PPBB #9 before PPBB#2 a little more than a year ago and finished them last night after getting another bootie request from Nate & Christina. I followed Christine Bourquin’s pattern exactly and added the pom-poms. The yarn is Lion Brand Baby Soft and the needles I used are Susan Bates #1 Circulars.
Here are some more FO sightings from Maine:
PPBB#8 and its proud new owner.

and PPBB#6 on a very pink cutie!

And Making Waves makes an appearance in Portland, Maine.

Since there are only a few sock wearing months left in California, I finished up my Slipped Stitch socks in Fiber Fiend sock yarn, last weekend.

I washed and blocked them and now they are ready to wear!

I love the way the striping turned out with the slipped stitches.

I especially like the the striping on the heel.

Off I go, with my favorite clogs and my brand new socks!

Last night I finished my first Thelonious Sock, knit in BMFA Socks That Rock, Monsoon colorway. Not only do I get to knit a brand new pattern from the freakin’ sock genius Cookie, I get to do it with some absolutely gorgeous yarn from the STR Sock Club. In my yarn loving, sock loving universe, it’s the best of both worlds.
It’s beautiful,

any way you look at it!

Thanks to Katie for being my sock model.

I’m feeling well enough to knit again! After I casted on Thelonious, one of Cookie’s new patterns, I feel even better!

The meandering ribs and traveling lace sooth my soul.
