Heel flap procedure is knit in the round for about an inch so the sock will hug my ankle.

Should eye?


Bug spots or alien eyes? Both would be kind of creepy.

Hat kick



Hats are fun and quick as you only have to make one, and not match it to anything like another sock or mitt. There are 8 cream hats in total from 965g. Orange and grey ones are White Buffalo and the red one is handspun. Magnets hold the chin strap.

EZ's baby surprise

Just finished the knitting part. Had to frog twice (did too many rows once and forgot to do one paired increase the other). I thought of doing paired increases at the corners when I cast off and should have to make the corners lay better. I started to edge the front neck but will have to sew the top of the sleeves before I can continue around to the other side. Texas cotton with 3.75mm.
