Anything Goes Swap

Last weekend, my knitting group had an 'anything goes', small project swap.  This means that we could knit anything, based on suggestions from our partner.  It turned out to be a fun swap, with some really creative items being swapped.

Mary made the following small items for Heather.

And now I'm stealing photos from Mary.  Will the crime spree come to an end?

It was a great swap, and I appreciate all the ladies for participating!!!

SOCKDOWN October

Yes, you read that right... October. I lost my mojo for knitting the socks that I was making in October, which sucked the blog mojo right out of me. The stockings weren't so bad, but the sock I knit on size 0's with 80 stitches on the socks...those were difficult. However, I'm in love with the finished product!
So this is basically just going to be a picture post to get me back in the swing of things. I do have a few other projects I'd like to blog about, but feel I need to get these out of the way first.

Sorry for the bad iPhone photos.  I'll try to take a better stocking picture when they're hung on my mantle.
