My Not Christmas Socks

I finally finished knitting the socks I started last April. I had put them aside when I was having difficulty seeing the tiny stitches on the size 1US needles, but I finally picked them up again and finished them this past week. The colorway on the yarn ball band says "Christmas" but I think they're just very colorful. I love bright colors & I'll wear them anytime, not just for Christmas. :)

My Backpack

Two years ago I knit a backpack for my daughter and ever since then, I've wanted one for myself. Finally, I knit one for me! The 1st pic is mine. The 2nd pic is Colleen's.
