Socks have been my new favorite project over the last year. They're quick, they're fun and you can do all sorts of patterns.
I've made a couple pairs, but my favorite is a pair called Inlay. (And of course, you can see my own pair at Ravelry.) It's also the first thing I can remember making for myself. I am usually so busy making things for friends' babies that keeping something for myself was such a luxury.
I've made a few things for my own girls, my favorite being the Kina sweater for my littlest one. I used a gorgeous color of deep ocean blue (called Aegean I believe) that looks just beautiful on her.
Right now I'm working on a cardigan for myself Oblique, and another pair of socks, and will soon start another few baby projects for a friend due in a couple of months.
There are plenty of days I've wished I could just open a yarn shop or knit for a living. However, since I have zero business acumen, I think having a business wouldn't be the best option for making a living. Ah well, a gal can dream.
