A Monday Happens

The first finished pair of socks for the year!  
Bill's socks, size 15, knit in Static yarn from KnitPicks. 
 A number 1 needle was used over 72 stitches, toe-up with a gusset heel.

I worked at sanding and polishing the new bowl on the lathe yesterday;  
I will turn it and begin hollowing it today.
And another man-hat on the needles (short 16" needles)  
with a skein of hand paint Wool Ease yarn by Lion Brand,
 the colorway is S'mores 
but I don't see it! lol

  3. That's a major achievement finishing things when you're feeling under par - those socks have a lovely warm and rich colourway (as does the hat).

  4. It is a very beautiful sock yarn, but I don't see s'mores either.

  5. Maybe a s’mores that dropped into the ashes and got all black and sooty?! 🤣 Nice socks and bowl!

  6. Nice work on the big socks and toe-up no less! Maybe they were thinking of the s'mores where the marshmallow catches fire or as Marsel said? Love that bowl you're making!!
