I didn’t post about these right away because they were a surprise gift for my grandma but I can’t believe I forgot to post about them altogether. So here they are, six months later…
In January I visited my grandma in Florida and while I was there I finished my first pair of crocheted socks. She was so impressed with my handiwork that I started another pair for her when I got home. I had enough yarn leftover to make her a matching “Crochargosy” scarf too. The colorway I used has some of her favorite colors and they are both light enough to use most of the year, even in Florida.

Even though I haven’t yet finished the August CAL, I’m planning and have ordered yarn for my September project: the Peaseblossom Tunic designed by Kristin Omdahl from the Summer 2010 issue of Interweave Crochet. I happen to have 2 copies (I bought it, then subscribed to it and they sent me another copy) so I’ll even send the whole magazine to the first person who wants it (comment below!)
Yesterday I ordered yarn for it (along with yarn for a couple secret projects). I’ve been wanting to make a lacy sweater for a while so I’m looking forward to getting started. There is a possible CAL for this on Ravelry here and possible discussion here.

I forgot to post that I finished my Skew socks:
The 2 hanks of yarn that I used for them were just a bit different (they were hand-dyed so I suppose that’s to be expected) so the left sock has more dark brown and less red than the right pair. I don’t think anyone would notice if I didn’t point it out though. And I started another pair of socks last week. I had 2 more hanks of Lorna’s Laces yarn that I just needed to use and I decided on these Up, Up and Away socks. So far, the pattern is pretty easy but the heel (as usual) is confusing.
