Taaaadaaaa....

...one whole sock!That's half a Christmas present down. It looks so LARGE to me, but I had my Dad try it on and it's okay...

I really should be making the other one, but I raided mom's stash and came home with some Sockittome and well....

I'm designing my own knee sock... yeah I know I knit one (half) pair of socks and now I'm not only designing a sock, but a knee sock at that...

You can't see the pattern, but when it's done I'll post better pictures. But it won't be done for a while, I really have to get back to the Christmas knitting... including knitting the second sock.

I also got a present in the mail! To me from me (the best kind)

It's a merino/alpaca blend.... very soft... so it's off to Ravelry to browse patterns.. but -- must... not... cast.... on....
