Yup, more socks. I don't think I've shown you these yet...I finished them some time ago.
This is an up-close picture of a triangular-shaped shawl I knit recently. The entire shawl is the same pattern, but only the border has the beads.
These were actually Mother's & Father's Day presents that FINALLY got mailed out. The idea is straight from Handmade Home, but I didn't actually follow formal directions, just got the gist of it from looking at the pictures. Gus made all creative decisions and I merely did the labor. We actually made four more that aren't pictured, they'd been given away (to Meremere and his teachers) before I took pictures.
From left to right: "Gus and Mommy", "Gus and Daddy", "Gus Working on Grandpa's Trailer", "Gus as a Tall Giraffe", and "Jack in a Box...Gus in a Box" (Gus sometimes plays jack in the box in our clothes hamper). For his Meremere he drew another self-portrait and for his teachers he drew pictures of them. I really wish I'd gotten pictures of them because they were great. One teacher playing the didgeridoo, one making a funny face, and one helping a child.
I've finished some more books and have spending a lot of energy on helping Abe adjust to our new one-nap-a-day schedule and sleep later in the mornings. We have a birthday party to head to this weekend and the weather is getting cooler. Yay!
