Scarf and Socks

I finished two one skeiners this week:  a scarf and a pair of socks. So, after a run (yes, I did it again), a coffee and a custard cream, here they are.

The scarf took nearly all of some bamboo/cotton blend left over from a summer sweater project. I like to buy extra, so I feel good if I use up remainders.

The socks are the first for several years and I used Kate Atherley’s Basic Ribbed Socks:

Now to choose the next sock design.  And the next sock yarn. From my stash or hand dyed? So difficult!
