Hunter Socks!

I finished Hubby's Hunter Socks! And we had a little photo shoot today. ☻

With Sarah, my shotgun (which was unloaded and pointed in a safe direction, with the safety on)...
Totally off-topic: OMG, I need to go on a diet after Christmas! Yikes!

Knittin'

Check out my new socks! These are the sockweight version of my Hunter Socks. I'm working on another pair of worsted weight ones for my Hubby. And I'm writing the pattern as I go. 
 And I took a three-day break from the Hunter Socks, to make this!
It's not my own design, though I did alter the pattern considerably. My mother-in-law made beautiful Christmas stockings for everyone in the family; Hubby and me, our kids, Hubby's sister and brother. But she passed away five years ago. Well, Hubby's sis just had her first baby in September. Since Grandma isn't around to make it, and every baby needs her own special handmade stocking, I made this one for her.
