Spring Knitting

The pattern for the socks I'm knitting is 'Embossed Leaves' and it will be my first attempt at lace work.  The yarn, 'Navajo' from Sunshine Yarns, has lovely colors and a substantial feel to it.  The pattern uses size 2 needles, but I'm using size 1 in case my knitting is a little loose.

The second Striped Blanket used up a lot of stash and passed the time.  I like the section with the colors in the photo below.



The Hermione Everyday socks are done, unblocked in the photo.  The two skeins were so different, even though the lot numbers matched.  If I make them again, I'll use a heavier yarn.
