Here's my current project. It's a pair of socks for my aunt. They're made of magic stripe from Lion Brand. I think the yarn is discontinued, but it was gifted to me. I'm gonna make a pair of gloves with the left over. Maybe a pair of fingerless, depending on how much yarn is left over. I started them yesterday and will be finished with them tomorrow. 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon.

My Mom is a HUGE Nancy Grace fan. If you watch her, you know that she just had twins. I made these for my mom to send to her. They are in LSU colors, purple and gold, but switched, so they're alike, but easy to tell apart. I really can't stand to watch her, she makes me mad, but I love my mother and try to fill her requests asap. LOL
This was my try at a machine knit pattern I converted to hand knit. The cuff is a k2p2 rib and the foot part is doubled, by doubled, I mean that the inside is one slipper and the outside is another, this way they're extra warm and cushy on cold floors, but knit in one piece and stitched together at the end. I made the cuff a little large, but they are comfy and not tight around the ankle, so it would be great for diabetics and others who don't want a tight cuff around their leg, but want to keep their feet warm. These went to my friend with the girls bookmarks
These are some bookmarks I made for a friend's, daughters. She found the pattern and couldn't figure it out. The bookmarks are knitted in the round, but on 2 needles in such a way that one row is knit1, slip the next stitch with the yarn on the purl side then knit and slip purlwise. etc. It makes a double fabric that's knitted in the round with only 2 needles. Kind of a cool technique. I will supply the pattern if anyone wants it.
