Gift Package!

I'm sure I can find the name of this self-striping sock yarn with a little searching. I got it from Total Crafts before I even know how to knit (I was only crocheting then) and was disappointed to find that it wasn't really striping nicely when I crocheted. But I knew nothing about the "mechanics" so ...



I started these in August as my first pair of socks, but got pretty confused (had to look up the definition of "gusset" in the dictionary) and finally put them down to start anew with Koigu socks for my boyfriend-cum-fiance (while in the making of the socks, he graduated from boyfriend to fiance).

Then my sister had a baby so I finished the socks to send to her as well as a small baby hat. These will be sent with the Breeze socks for Joey and two ballband dishcloths.






I'll make my other niece a poncho and send it later. Care packages must be sent with all urgency!
