I like these gloves a lot more with the blue fingers. See the original colors and pattern in a PDF file HERE. I may still run out of the medium or dark blue colors but if not I'll have the pair finished this week. These are going to go to a girlfriend who is making me a lovely quilt. Today I started sorting all my finished knitted items into three boxes for Christmas gifts and I'd say I'm about halfway done. DH has also requested a boring plain dark gray vest for Christmas so I'll get started on that in between the more fun projects.

Here are the Latvian socks from Nancy Bush's Folk Socks. I'm too lazy to block them. I used size 0 dpns and Knitpicks Essentials sock yarn and I like this yarn quite a bit. It isn't as elastic as I'd prefer but I love the price and will use it again and again.
