Yarn Sale at Michaels

Today my friend and I went to the craft store... where Patons Kroy Socks Stripes were on sale. They were marked down a dollar each, I had a fifty-percent off coupon ...

Three skeins of sock yarn later, I hope I have enough to make the long-promised socks for Julie (of nosemitten ownership).

Patons Kroy Sock Stripes in the Mulberry Colourway, about 498 yards total. Machine washable, and according to the website, fond of US 3 dpns. Julie has specified that her socks be different, so I'll be using two different patterns. Which patterns, I'm not really sure...

Nosemitten!

So my friend Julie asked me to knit her something to keep her nose warm, a nosemitten.

The 2002 Knitty has a pattern for a nosewarmer.

Behold, me modeling Julie's nosemitten, finished about five minutes ago.
