Socks for my husband are finished!

Things have certainly been busy around here!  I got home from a business trip 2 weeks ago and leave for another one this week.  Last one of the year, thankfully.  Between trips, trying to get things done around the house, and some semblance of a social life, I didn't get much time to edit the photos for this post.  A few are from my good camera, others are from my smartphone (though still not bad).

Just One More....

Sorry it's been a bit longer than I had hoped since I posted.  I've had some travel for work that took more energy than I thought it would.  I'll post a picture at the bottom!

Just when I finally thought I was finished with washcloths, a reason popped up to make just one more.  I've started playing along with the Harry Potter Knit/Crochet House Cup on Ravelry and the prompts for one of the July classes was a challenge to go back to our knitting roots.  My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was around 7 or 8 years old.  She taught me how to make a very basic washcloth.  Later in life, a gift she gave to all of her grandchildren was a cookbook with her favorite family recipes in it, and mine also contained a pattern for the washcloth. It was meant to be and I knitted on up.
