Socks for the cold weather

Ok, so I got a head start on working on some of the stash yarns, although the yarn diet (which includes a competition on who uses the most stash yarn during the month) doesn't start till February 1st. But I can't possibly not knit until then! I started with the LL sock yarn, the colorful one for the 2-year-old. This is both the knit and the purl side:

I actually like the purl side better!
I wove in the ends so that they can be used either way. Here's Mr S trying them on:


After I got these done, I actually started working on a sweater I started a year ago. It was only missing a shawl collar, so not too much work left on it. I don't know why I haven't gotten it done earlier... It's finished now, but I don't have any pictures yet, plus I have to block it. Maybe this weekend.
