Gift Knitting

Hubby's Shark Scarf

This is my first double knit project that I started May 2014 and I hope to finish before winter 2015.  My hubby loves sharks so he is excited to get this scarf.  The problem is that in an hour I might get 3 rows done.  The pattern is very well written and once I wrote out the pattern for the repeat argyle pattern it went faster.  You have to knit the first stitch and then purl in the other color.  It gets more complicated when I get to end when it will say the same phrases in Chinese.

Trying To Wrap Things Up

I started this sock in Aug 7/13.  Socks usually take me a while especially fingering weight ones.  This one is taking me so long because of two reasons.  One, I started working last year after starting this.  Two, the person I'm knitting this for is still growing.  I had to rip out the heel and make it longer.  It's a bit too long but then again it might take me another year to get the second one done.  The pattern is here:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/critter-socks  and the yarn is Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids & Quatro Colors.
