I just wanted to share with you a gift for my neighbor, Pam. I had so much fun knitting a Traveling Woman shawl for myself last spring, that I knit another one for her. It's been completed since summer. No Christmas knitting worries here.
Yarn: Hand Maiden Casbah - 80% Merino wool, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon
This is a one-of-a-kind hand dyed yarn made exclusively for The Loopy Ewe 2nd Anniversay back in 2008. This yarn did come with a pattern, but it was too lacey for this busy yarn. I decided a stockinette sock would be best. The cashmere in this yarn gives the full "ahhhh" feeling when worn. Better get busy and start the 2nd one then!
We are having a brown Christmas here in Wisconsin this year - no snow. The last brown Christmas was in 2002. We have had one good snowfall, but some "warm" temperatures and rain has reduced it to crusty white remnants. It just doesn't feel that Christmasy without snow!
I have two different sweater projects in mind after the Dickens vest is completed. I just started the 2nd front and then it can be sewn together. I'll share those 2 possibilities with you in the next post.
From my home to yours - May you have a blessed Christmas.
Happy Knitting ~

P.S. Love the sock! I think you were smart to go with a simple stockinette.
