Socks!

So, I was on a roll towards finishing my sweater project, but I went on a sock tangent instead.

I made my first socks! They're a little roomy and and slighty mismatched but I love them. I brought 4 skeins of brown tweed with me from college and one of them is a trespassing brown tweed from a different company so one sock has a slightly different shade toe. That's okay because I'm making up for it with a beautiful pair of Green tweed socks.

Here's my other sock still needing a mate.

I got commissioned to knit some legwarmers for a friend and did one of them today.
I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's my first time working with Rowan Soft Tweed. I love it so now I have to get some of my own for other projects!

AND....here is the j. crew sweater I got in the mail from eBay. I'm obsessed with it.
