\"stripedThis is my September Sock-a-Month 2 contribution and the most recent finished objects in my collection.<\/p>\n

Rudi’s boss had his first grandbaby last week, so I thought it would be nice to send along a gift. The pair is made of Cascade Fixation and is pretty much a straight-up Magic Loop adaptation of the Baby Fixation Socks<\/a>. Rudi picked out the yarn from my stash and picked this pattern over another one. They are very quick to knit up (doable in a day, really) and immediately elicit “Awwwwwws” from all the women in my office because they are just so deliciously tiny. (And, yes, that’s a quarter in the photo for perspective.)

Also, as promised earlier, I offer you some recent fibery goodness as well as some of the other pretty things that insisted on coming home with us from Salt Lake:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jojoba oil and aloe vera make my coat shine!<\/strong>
\n\"Jeremiah<\/a>
\nThis is the yarn I bought at Black Sheep Wool Company<\/a>. Pardon the contrast on this photo. Apparently Jeremiah has a taste for jojoba oil and I had to quickly step in to prevent him from unraveling the new yarn down to the core. He also liked that orange alpaca….<\/p>\n

Pretty pottery<\/strong>
\n\"ramekins\"<\/a>
\nI bought these ramekins at the Avenues Street Fair<\/a>. They came with a copy of a recipe for cr\u00c3\u00a8me br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e that I will need to try in the next few weeks (once I figure out what I packed it in).<\/p>\n

Green Green Glass<\/strong>
\n\"Green<\/a>
\nThese is one of the goblets I bought. They’re made from recycled wine bottles and are, as Jenn<\/a> suspected, made by Green Glass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Upon closer inspection<\/strong>
\n\"Green<\/a>
\nAs Mum mentioned, my great-grandfather also used to do this sort of work. My grandmother owns a beautiful lamp he made out of a used wine jug that he etched with deer and that’s filled with green glass beads. However, I think Gramma might object if I tried to drink out of her lamp….
