First up is an F.O. - Sheila's Birthday Socks! Lorna's Laces sock yarn in the Black Purl colorway. Every screwup that can be made? I did it on these things. It was a good learning experience though - and I definately needed to take the time to fix things in the moment and not either pretend (like every one of us knitters has done and you know you have!) there were no mistakes or just give up. I tinked AND frogged the second sock more times than I care to admit, but in the end they are very pretty and comfy.
(details: LL, one skein, top down, basic basic - that's it)
I also gave Sheila the Coronet hat I finished the other week, and several sets of stitchmarkers
