Finished Object Friday

Everyone knows how therapeutic knitting is, right? It's a very soothing repetitive, creative process. Perhaps if more people took up knitting, we truly would have "peace on earth!" Ok, so maybe that's taking it a bit far! Anyway... you know this is going to be another knitting FOF, right? :) (Don't leave yet...surprise at the end!!)

And what could be cozier than some purple socks for this chilly February weather? (Yes, it's cool again in Texas, but not for long!) :)

I made these socks for Regina for Christmas... what's really bad is her Christmas gift bag held a wonderful bar of handmade soap, and a skein of this yarn. I hadn't even started the socks! Oh, well... I did finish them last month and she is now enjoying them.

I must say, I wasn't overwhelmed with the color of the yarn when I bought it, but was pleasantly surprised at how well I liked it once I started knitting it up. I call these socks, Very Berry Blitz!

I usually have bits of yarn left over from a skein when I make socks or dishcloths. I like making this with it... waste not, want not, right?

It's a tribble!
Remember this one from a while back?

(Pattern here. Really easy and fast!)

Now for the surprise: I'm giving this tribble away! So it isn't the biggest and best giveaway, but I thought it would be a fun little thing to do for a Friday. All you have to do is leave a comment and your name will be put in a drawing for the Tribble! Just to make it interesting, maybe you could share your favorite handmade item you've given or received. :) I'll try to post the winner by sometime Saturday.

Oh, and don't forget to join in on Finished Object Friday! We'd love to see your project! Don't forget to check out the guidelines here.
