So I finally finished my Have I Ever Steered You Wrong? socks...
I wish I had made them taller though..I have a lot of yarn left over....they are very squishy, but thick as it is a worsted weight yarn....
I also finished my Holly (Golightly) hat...I think it is super cute, just not sure it'll look super cute on me, because of the long hair....it needs a soaking...but see I'm afraid it'll grow and then be too BIG..this happened with the last two hats I made...because of the construction it is a bit loose already...
So what do you do if something grows too big with blocking?
Oh and I whipped up a quick earmuff/headband for the Hubs...he found a piece of the Malabrigo Rasta and was all, "This would make a great headband..." and I had enough left over to make him one...
and there was just enough I made a flower, which I'm turning into a bracelet....I'll show that next week...
Yesterday I cast on two new projects....I'm still on break until Wednesday....so I still have lots of crafting time left....;)
So please link up....I'm going to post one...until I see if the other person has yet....but I'm also linking in with Wisdom in Wonder...Creative Friday .....I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend...

If it's something that is wool (non-superwash) and grows, I throw it in the dryer on low for a bit to shrink it back up. I've had to do that with merino because that just sees to grow a lot :)
Ack! I am so upended I forgot it was Friday! I will be sure to play along next week. I actually posted a year review today so I will post it here anyway.
I love those socks. I've never knit socks in anything but fingering. I bet they feel wonderful. That hat is adorable! I love sassy hats like that. As for growing too big...well, I have ended up either gifting the project to someone with a bigger head or...fulling it in the dryer (of course you take the chance of losing the stitch design but at least it will fit.)
