i decided to get a head start on my gift knitting, so started a pair of monkeys for my sil with the small feet. i don't like 1x1 ribbing so changed that o a hemmed picot cuff; used eop with a garter stitch edge for the heel flap; and am knitting with a 2.25mm needle for a smaller gauge to fit my sil. did i mention she has small feet?

"peony"yes, here we have the redo of my "pink peony" sock in TOFUtsies' "stand on your own two feet." i love the names they gave the colors. they make me smile. i am actually done knitting a pair of "peonies." have decided that it would be silly to call these "pink" so will be dropping that on the new pattern. i am rewriting it in two sizes. i liked the TOFUTsies. it is much softer than regia cotton surf and the colors are so FUN!
speaking of regia cotton surf; i also finished a pair for my bil with the wide feet. this was his christmas present. i figure that i am ahead of the game because i finished this before his birthday! the socks are IDENTICAL! i have matching socks! YES!
