Wool-Aid Socks

I finally managed to make some socks for my favorite charity's Warm Hands campaign.

Both pairs are made of Lamb's Pride Bulky leftovers, approximately 1.5 skeins per pair. They turned out pretty big and should keep some teenagers warm.

Shawls + Scarves on the needle

Here are two projects currently in the works:

Upstairs Shawl
I am almost done with the colorway LANDSCAPE II. Next will be LIME LEAVES and then SHRUBBERY (or the other way around, don't know for sure yet) - making a sampler-like shawl. (All of these are 6-ply cotton yarns available at my shop.) I like the pattern - easy to memorize yet interesting to knit.

Adia Scarf
This is colorway LIGHTS - a cheerful color combo reminding me of spring (another 6-ply cotton). This pattern is also fun and looks much more complicated than it is...:)
