Yesterday I got to make a stop into Hobby Lobby.  I was looking for scrapbooking storage ideas but just didn’t see exactly what I was hoping for.  It wasn’t a total loss,  I did manage to leave with an awesome new mug by Dayspring and two skeins of Patons Kroy sock yarn in Turquoise Jacquard.  I have been trying so hard not to buy more sock yarn but I simply couldn’t resist the turquoise color in this yarn!

I also picked up the latest Quilt & More by All People Quilt.  Love this issue, it’s filled with several projects that I hope to make for the fall.  I have had fall and Halloween fabric for quite a while in my fabric stash and think a couple of the projects in this issue will be a perfect fit.

I have not picked up the needles for I my Gloam cardigan since I’ve casted on but plan to try soon.  I have been focused on finishing my pair of Eclipse Stripe socks, which I might get done today (fingers crossed).

Several years ago I was inspired by Susan B. Andersons blog post sharing her sock drawers. Talk about inspiring! Since then I have knitted many pairs of socks, not only for me but for family and friends.  

I decided to go through my sock drawer and decided it was time to start a second drawer (I simply love to knit socks).  While reorganizing, I came across a pair of socks I had made my mom.  She never wore them, and I am not sure why but when she passed away, I found them included with all the other hand-knits I made her in a bag with my name on it.  The sock pattern is St. Brigid’s Carnamoyle Stockings by Lahoma Jayne Nally (a free download) and were knitted in Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool.  I love the design and may have to make them again, meantime though I can wear this pair.

Along with this pair are finished pairs of DK and Sport Weight socks, made from Patons DK wool and Patons Kroy.
