Socks were a success!!

I am just about done my Mom's socks.  I have a couple of rows left to do on the toe.  Unfortunately I didn't have them both done for dinner last night at my parents place.  So I wrapped up the finished sock and gave her that with a note that the other would follow in a couple of days LOL.  She loved it.

I've also been working on another pair of socks.  The Harpa Socks in Knitpicks Essenital "Russet Tweed".  So far I've got the cuff done and I've started on the heel flap.  They are really neat ankle socks!

There is another pattern I've been eye-balling.  And I've got the perfect yarn for it!
Oatmeal Pullover by Jane Richmond.  I had originally started using this yarn for a giant granny square blanket I was constructing.. but I saw this and all that went out the window!  This is the yarn Red Yarn.
I've also got some nice navy blue, pale blue and a rich cream colour that this sweater could be made into.. I think I might have to make a few of them for my closet!

I also picked up this pattern while ordering the Oatmeal Pullover.. Beatrice  I've got this great green yarn that I made my sister's purse out of "Purse" and I think I'm going to make the Beatrice out of the 3 skiens I've got left over!

How is everyone's projects going?  Anything exciting happen on the weekend?
