A Finished Object, a sock and new techniques

I finished a baby kimono for my cousin who is having a baby in four weeks. I'll see her this weekend at my sister's baby shower. So, of course I've started one for my sis too. I've used Mission Falls 1824 Wool for both. It is really soft.



The sock is looking lovely. I had a nice lady from my church help me with the tricky step between the heel turn and the gusset decreases. This is Lorna's Laces Shep. Sock yarn. Love this stuff. I plan to buy more very soon, as in tomorrow when I visit Why Not Knit in Atlanta!! I'll be there for work, but the boss has designated Monday as a travel and shopping day.

Now what is this addiction to sock yarn? I have no idea! I'm knitting my very first sock and currently have enough sock yarn to make 6 more pairs of socks (at least). So why, oh why am I buying it like it's vanishing from the planet? I have no idea. I'm in love with sock yarn. I'M ADDICTED!

And I've learned to make a button hole and seam a garmet! YAY.
