Hurrah! I'm done! Since October, I've knitted 4 pair of socks, 2 pair of gloves & 2 hats. I finished the last pair of finger-less gloves last night.
I knitted a pair of socks for my niece, Tricia. I think they came out well.

I also knit a pair of shooting gloves for her husband, Patrick. This is an interesting pattern. Basically, you make a pair of finger-less gloves, then you go back & knit a "toe" or "mitten" cover to fold back down over the fingers. Making a mitten... Great for shooting, or general outdoors type work when it's cold. The loop on the end is to slip over a button sewn onto the cuff. Keeps it out of the way when you have your fingers exposed.

I mailed the package to Tricia on 11/5/20 and it still hasn't arrived yet! I checked on the package yesterday while I was at the post office in Hardy. I guess Tricia's package has made it to Jim Thorpe PA. Why it went to Thorpe is beyond me... But at least the package is still moving & not lost.
I got alpaca socks from an online farm friend of mine, for our daughter's partner, Rickey. He requested alpaca socks. I knit daughter Tammy & granddaughter Ariel each a pair of wool socks. I also knit 2 hats for charity.
I got the sock yarn at Strings & Stitches, a great yarn store next door to the dinner Tammy works at. They have a wonderful selection of yarns & patterns. The owners are very helpful & full of information!
