Cranky Socks from Becca's Crazy Projects

I've been cranking out socks with my new yarn. This pink is so much fun.

I'm trying some contrast toes. I think the next pair will have pink toes.

This colorway is a nice change.

Here is a contrast toe. It still amazes me how I can shape the toe on the machine.

Now to Kitchener stitch the toes closed and get them ready for gifting.

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I dropped off thirteen quilts at the last Annapolis Quilts for Kids meeting. The last of them I will drop off this year.

These little quilts, pieced by other members of Annapolis Quilts for Kids were part of that drop off.

This one included minkie type fabrics. I was more pleased with the result than I thought I would be. I hope it makes someone very happy.

Cranky Socks from Becca's Crazy Projects

I recently ordered yarn from CSM Supplies. I like buying from Jamie because she always makes the transaction special. I didn't really need more sock yarn but I wanted more options for holiday sock giving.

I ordered three new colorways and coordinating solids. I like making contrast toes so you can pair them up using the toe colors.

First was this fun colorway paired with blue.

Then this one that I had from a previous order paired with pink.

I still transfer the live stitches onto a pair of short circular needles and finish each sock by hand using ...

More Masks from Becca's Crazy Projects

It seems the masks we've been wearing for almost a year are starting to show their age. I wanted some novelty prints so I convinced my husband to take me to the big-box fabric store to pick up some licensed prints. Maybe no one needs a mask with Pokémon or Avengers but I wanted some. I also pulled that cut cat print out of my collection.

These are going to be so much fun!

As usual, I have cut out way to many of these. Oh, well, they are still good to share with friends.

Monster Socks from Knitterly Things from Becca's Crazy Projects

When I saw that Julia over at Knitterly Things had Monster Sock Yarn Kits available I jumped right over to pick up my own. My well packed kit showed up on Monday so I wanted to share it with you.

It is such a great pack of fun!

Measuring tape, tiny scissors, some stitch markers, and suckers I really shouldn't be so excited about. And the wonderful self-striping yarns! These are going to become socks this weekend. I can't wait!

Monster Socks from Becca's Crazy Projects

I promised more monster socks, so here is another pair.

This includes yarn left over from my last pair of monster socks. I like these more than I should. Remember, matching socks are for adventuresome spirits.

I made a second pair. This time I let this blue be the unifying force.

No matter how many of these I knit I still have yarn. So much fun! Now I have to sit still long enough to close up the toes.
