Friday FO: Vanilla Wandering Cat

So one of my favorite experiences knitting socks has been my Mr. Dress-up socks by Wandering Cat. It was my first time doing a slipped stitch heel.

I liked using the US 1.5 knitting needles.

I liked the ribbing and I liked the overall proportion of the knit.

So for this pair of "vanilla" stockinette socks I decided to borrow all the pieces of  Wandering Cat's socks minus the fancy/dressy diamond pattern (which I'm sure I'll return to another time.).

So here we are. A finished pair of Vanilla Wandering Cat socks for Dr. G in Cherry Tree Hill somethin' or other. I got this yarn in Kathy B's fall swap last year. It was when I met the fabulous Nancy of Wyoming Breezes. I'm not sure if this was her contribution, but I can tell you that finishing this knit just reminds me how lovely the circle of knitting happiness is.

It looks to be another busy weekend so I may have to wait until Sunday to sink into my yarn. But I am a plotting...

• Keep on , keepin' on my tropical socks knitting.
• Cast on Little Pumpkins, whoo hoo!
Order/buy yarn for newer baby knits.
• Knit toddler sweater (this one I'm excited because the color I showed you is dreamy and fun and bright like the toddler)
• It will be time to return to both cardigans and shawls.

Yeah if I get half of this done by Thanksgiving I'll impress myself. Still nothing like a good knit dream post FO.
