Aren't they beautiful! I now have two pairs of hand-knit socks to wear in the winter. All of my first socks were little shorty socks. It felt like this day would never come. I guess that is just because I am excited about starting the next pair of socks.
The next pairs of socks will be my ramble sock, that I swatched a few days ago, and then my On Your Toes, February sock, Charade. I finished my swatching on the Jawoll, and now I just have to wait until February (probably Saturday at Movie night) to buy the yarn. I have also been swatching my new Cascade Eco wool for my Oblique sweater. Boy, I did a lot of swatching yesterday and today, but I need to know what needles to buy. It sure is a good thing that we had a snow day today. Unfortunately, I may still have to go to practice, but that decision has not been made yet.I also finished my soldier hat! It is headed out to the army plattoon with this new care package on Friday. It turned out great! It is fairly simple with a 3x3 rib, but should also be nice and warm and easy to care for being a superwash wool.
Now, I can finish the second baby hat for the big one's teacher, and I can start my new rambler sock!

Suggestion on the hat. The general concensus in this house was that although the pattern says to start to decrease at 8 inches, everyone wanted it to be just a little longer, so now I start decreases at 10 inches....check the hubby's. I think his is a little longer giving a larger cuff.
Oh, ya...the socks look great too. I'm starting my second pair. Already have 3 inches on the first cuff.
I know Hubby's hat is 10 inches, but I also was thinking about the fact that it went to a soldier, and he/she might need to put a helmet on over the hat and might not want a big cuff, so I ended up with 8 inches. Also, I was trying to get it done before Shelley mailed off the next care package.
