anklets

I made these cute little anklets from one of the patterns from my Rockin Sock Club. I used some scrap yarn and luckily had enough!!! They were fast and easy!!!

socks and mittens

Haven't been posting... trying to stay ahead of everything!!!!
I finished these Latvian mittens and these Gumdrop sox (which were from my Rockin sock club). They were a really fun knit and can be worn inside out also. I tried to show them being worn each way!!!
