FO - Bulletproof socks

After almost a year of knitting them, I have finally finished those bloody bulletproof socks. I thought I'd never get them done, lol.

Ever since I started these socks, they've kind of become the stuff of legends at my LYS because they're knitted with 2mm needles. I'd estimate probably about 20,000 total stitches in these socks. Took way too long. First sock took 2.5 months, second sock took 10 months... but now that they're done, oh my god. They are awesome! :)

Here are the pics.

WIP - Pretty Lace Thing

Here are a couple pictures of the progress I've made on the pretty lace thing.



I have just a few more inches of back to go, and then I can sew it up. Fun!

More WIPs

Started a sweater for Nicholas:


And am almost finished the hat for Hong:


Still working on Kat's purse.

Got some new yarn in my stash too! Got these yummies at the Stitch 'n Pitch:


I have plans for the sexy green yarn, but haven't decided what to do with the soft touch yarn. I also got 3 more skeins of that beautiful malabrigo merino wool. I'm going to use that to either make myself a shrug, or make myself a winter set. (hat, scarf, mitts)

What do you think I should make?
