I put the apron I made into the mail today. It was a lot of fun to make and turned out so cute I might have to make another for myself. I used the pattern from Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter. It's a reversible apron so I put pockets on both sides.  I also made the side ties much wider than called for in the pattern so that they'd make a nice bow in the back. Here are some pictures from the rest of the process.

 

 

I got these skeins of sock yarn from Oceanwind Knits last week. Two for me and two for Rob. I'm thinking of getting a little fancier than my usual plain socks and doing ribbing along the top of the foot and the leg on Rob's and some sort of lace pattern in the same places on mine. I know there are lots of pretty patterns on Ravely too so I may go looking for something new altogether.

They are waiting for my 2.00 mm needles to be free of the socks they are currently entwined in. I'm not sure how long they will have to wait though - I have two other projects that need these needles.

Another little peak at the apron. Watch for the full reveal this weekend.
