After a huge crochet slump recently made a baby afghan for an old high school friend.  After some discussion decided we hadn't seen each other nor talked in 43 years.  Found one another through our high school group on Facebook.   Isn't social media great!

Anyway, he sent message that his daughter's baby shower was "next" Saturday (this was Sunday, prior) and would I make him a blanket.  This meant I had 4 days to completely finish, so he could pickup on Friday.

Made a 30 inch granny square in RHSS petal pink and pink camo.  Turned out real pretty.  Picture will be available soon.  Biggest problem was I didn't get rounds turned when I should have so ended up not being completely square.  Wouldn't you know it!

My friend liked it anyway, and was real nice about the imperfection. 

Now, getting time to get some new leg warmers designed and made for fall and winter.

Am in the process of designing a sock pattern.  Have done a great deal of research centered around foot measurements, basic sock designs, and heel designs.  There are a lot of great ideas and sources available to assist with making a sock, so research, research and try, try until you get the result you want.

My design is an accumulation of ideas and not completely formulated yet, but do have the start finalized for a toe up pattern.  At this point calculating various size stitch counts.  

Haven't made a sock nor slipper for over 30 years, so should be interesting as I progress through the process.  My foot and my daughter's foot are the current models.  

Making more of a "house" sock/slipper type than a regular wearing sock for the template, will be easy to adjust with my calculations, so when done will be something for any "type" of sock wanted.  

Stay tuned for updates.
