socks and blanket

I haven't knit nearly as much as I like the last couple of weeks but picked it up again this week. I found a pair of Blender socks that I started a while back and thought I'd start with some mindless stockinette.

I finished the heels yesterday and suddenly decided to make them into short socks. That just makes them done that much faster...





Really toasty and warm. I could feel my feet heating up as I wore them a few minutes. One can never have too many socks, right?

My apple core blanket is coming along nicely. I'm not sure how big I want to make this but I want it as a baby blanket. I need to decide if it'll be a proper baby blanket (for a crib) or a snuggly kind of wubby baby blanket that a baby can use to soothe themselves. Either way I hope it will get lots of use. Even though I'm using sock yarn leftovers, the blanket is warm and light. I might have to consider making myself one someday which will take lots of leftovers.





No timeline on the blanket since I don't anyone having a baby but maybe one of my cousins will be expecting in the next year or two so it will be ready for them.



By the way: my chile rojo experiment was called successful by Hector last night. I'll have to try it again next time and see if I get the same results.
