A bright shell in a dark wave.

I have finished the hat knitting and this person I've admired from afar named Nanette (knittingincolor.blogspot.com) has given me ideas for finishing it. I'm probably giving it to Zach as is and let him decide on what shape it'll take.

The two socks are not finished but just to keep boredom at bay, I've started two more. The orangey one (Opal prima) is for Zach and I keep asking him, "Are you sure you'll wear this?" The cool-colors one is heavier wool (Emu Superwash) and is for a young man in California. The socks can grow together as the boys sort of have.

Aww, that's sweet. I love the colours you chose.

Can't wait to see how the hat turns out!

Me neither! I started sewing it up but couldn't imagine which way he'd like best (if he likes any) so I've stopped.

Hello, your sock look great. I'm looking for a pattern like this. did you do a k2 p2 ribbing. Can you contact me about this pattern?

Thanks in advance.

Deb, I tried to contact you but was unsuccessful. The cuff is K2P2 ribbing. The rest is stockinette and now that the orange one is finished, I'm finding out it's not the best choice for a thin boy leg. I should've made some kind of ribbing the whole way down.
