It seems like I've really been in the mood to knit lately. I finished both sweater for my granddaughters.
Top sweater is actually a shrug style for Avery and the bottom one is a waist length for Emma. They fit them so perfectly. I can't wait to deliver them this coming weekend!!!
Now I'm back to my old standby, socks! I don't know what it is about knitting socks but it's so relaxing and
it seems that even a complicated pattern goes rather quickly. Now that I
said that, I just hope I keep motivated and finish the 3 pairs I have
started.

Pythagoras Socks and the book I'm reading
I love the monthly knitalongs on Ravelry's
Sock Knitters Anonymous group. I haven't really participated for awhile but decided to work on 2 of my socks for the month of February which has one criteria of using an 'under appreciated' pattern. So that's what I'm working on for SKA.
Then I started another pair of Monkey's by Cookie A. because that is definitely my go to pattern for socks. I've knitted several pairs for my older sister and so although I don't have any Monkey's for me, I decided to start a pair. We'll see who ends up with them...lol.
Monkeys by Cookie A.
As for the book I'm reading, I'm still working on The Water Lily Cross by Anthony Eglin. I love his writing and his very descriptive style. I'm a real mystery lover, especially the cozy mysteries so this book is great. I started it over a year ago then put it aside to read other things. Now I'm back at it and only have a couple of chapters left. Can't believe I ever put it down to start with. Good book!
Thanks Ginny for hosting such a fun weekly event. I may not be here every week but I know I look forward to everyone's posts and project pics.
Have a great day!
