houseelfI was in the mood for some instant gratification, so this week I've been working on a pair of Fuzzy Feet. Mine aren't going to be terribly fuzzy - I'm using Knitpicks Shamrock, which doesn't have the mohair of the recommended yarn - but they should be nice and warm.
I'm enjoying them so far. They're really just overgrown ankle socks that you felt down into slippers. As basic sock patterns go, it's a well-written one. And they definitely qualify as near-instant gratification knits. The first one is done already...
Ravelry project
...and I'm hoping that between work tomorrow morning and Friday afternoon, I'll be able to finish the second one. I'll felt them over the weekend when I wash towels, and I'll cross my fingers that the Shamrock yarn behaves as expected. Tip for the future: buy enough yarn to swatch with.

Last week I finished up a Wizardly Incognito Cap in movie!Ravenclaw colors as a swap gift for someone. Fun pattern, although I should have remembered before I started it that I find ribbing to be tedious after awhile. This picture is in its incognito form. Your other choice is to wear it with the brim not folded up. If you give the crown a tug, the decreases are positioned such that it goes all pointy and wizard-hat shaped.
