Yarn Fun

First we had this



I added some Kool-Aid



And now it is this



Ta-dah! I think it looks like apples. Soooo much better than before. I don't have a clue why I bought that red/orange/yellow stuff. It's not me at all. Of course, I still have a shawl made from it. That stuff is the 2 1/2 skeins I had left over. I guess I could always dye the shawl....

You remember I was making a pair of Hedera socks to give to my husband's stepmother for Christmas? Well, I HATED the way the pattern looked over the heel gusset so I ripped it all out and started a different pattern and now I have this



This sock is cable pattern instead of lace, but the designer still didn't do a very efficient job of working the pattern around the gusset. I thought about ripping these and starting again, but I would like to have these done by Christmas.
