Some knitting for me

A new sock! I've had this yarn for a while now. I was waiting until I finished the baby blanket before starting a new sock.



This yarn is Austermann Step, color 15. This line is the one that has Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil in the yarn. It feels soft and smells woolly. My hands feel soft after knitting with it. Cool stuff.
Project specs: This yarn is a bit thicker than Trekking. I started out with 64 stitches on sz 2 clovers and decreased to 60 stitches right before the heel. It's loose in the ankle - I could have done 60 stitches for the whole sock. Ah, now I know for another skein. I'm just not into ripping this one out.
So far so good with the Austermann Step (mit Aloe Vera und Jojoba Oil).
Hope your knitting is going well!

Finished baby blanket!





Alrighty now, here is the baby blanket I just finished. It's the big bad baby blanket by lisa shobhana mason from the original Stitch n Bitch book.

Size 9 needles, banana cottonease (3 skeins)


This blanket was a relatively quick knit. I finished it after several weeks of knitting at night after work.
