Pretending It's Fall

With the official start of football season just a few weeks away, a forecast that includes temperatures under 100F, and me ordering single skeins of wool to test, I know that fall is on its way! It may not feel like it - it was 112F here yesterday, a crazy temperature that has not been seen before in Central Texas.

This evening, I've picked a pattern to use for a simple pair of welly socks for my step-Dad using, hopefully, either Brown Sheep's Lambs Pride Sueprwash or Swish Superwash from Knitpicks. 
Here's a link to the pattern that I'm using for inspriation: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/irish-wellington-socks


Also, I snuck in yarn for me for my winter mittens. I'm hoping the color is close enough to the Bill's royal blue, but since is a cashmere/wool blend, I'm fairly certain I'll fall right in love and couldn't care less if the yarn turns out to be vomit colored (they do warn you that monitor colors might not be truly representative of the yarn. But, I'm willing to throw caution to the wind.)

I've Been Knitting -----I swear!!!!

So I've been a little MIA lately. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that in the last two months I've been traveling, on average 3 days a week to various locals around the southern US and part of Canada. With that said, here are a few of my latest projects and some plans for the very near future!

FINISHED:
Baby bibs for a new baby at work :) (well, not at work)
Also, this picture absolutely *refuses* to display the correct way. I'm tired of dealing with it!

Next up!

Christmas fingerless mitts for my future SIL:

Some Buffalo Bills items for me and the fam, mostly so my future husband doesn't look like this:
