Lots of tiny socks!

Afghans for Afghans is having a Newborn campaign. The hospital has asked for newborn hats and socks. These tiny things are almost instant gratification and so much fun to knit. I’ve made a few sets and will be mailing them off in the morning (the due date is May 19th). Yarn used: Patons Classic Merino, Knitpicks Wool of the Andes and some handspun too. Mostly I used up a lot of scraps on this project.
The sock pattern is my Simply Sweet Socks (see right sidebar for free pattern links) and the hat is the Infant Earflap Hat pattern by Ari.

This is a new scarf from the “Last Minute Knitted Gifts” book, the airy scarf. My second using this pattern. It’s so fast and easy, only uses 1/2 skein of Rowan Kidsilk Haze. The one is acutally made from Kidsilk Night instead.

What a wonderful charity project! That scarf is lovely as well. I’m still struggling with lace.
I just finished reading A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS and then clicked on your blog. I wish I had seen it earlier. I would have knit some socks/hats for the hospital in Kabul! What a wonderful idea!
