Finished socks

Socks have been all I have been knitting lately.

I took some photos of the most recently FOs (finished objects).

Potion Bubbles, AKA Circle Socks 
in Vice Yarns in  Hightlighter Pen colorway
Oops, I ran out.

Hermione's Everyday Socks
in Vice Sockalicious in Serendipity colorway.

I just started these:

Love Potion- Ron AKA Petunia Dursley's Double Eyelet Socks
in Vice Paparazzi in Pixie Dust colorway.

Can you guess my favorite sock yarn? Vice! My LYS hosted Yarnluvinlizzy's trunk show Friday evening.  I purchased Pixie Dust and Hyena (project coming soon hopefully).

Life after Disney

I have yet to upload any Disney photos (other than a few of my doll, Gatsby).  Hopefully this will happen soon.  I took so many it is hard to decide which need to go onto Flickr.



Lately socks have been on my knitting agenda. I have made or have in progress: Circle Sock pattern, Shelves upon Shelves, Hermione's Everyday Socks, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons.

Durmstrang are intense, but a lot of fun.

Hopefully, I will be set up for winter. :)

This is the first year I have not start on my Christmas knitting.  I think I am roast coffee instead, except from my brother, he doesn't drink coffee.  I may knit coffee mug covers or something.  I'm feeling really low budget.
