Heart Sachet for John and Simone

I made a Heart Sachet for John and Simone and stuffed it with the lavender that was left over from their wedding sachets. I used KPPPM--not sure what color, but bright pinks were a big part of it. It's supposed to match their wedding colors, but I'm not sure.

Current UFOs

I'm still working on my sweater. My goal is to finish it before my summer class starts (Oscar Wilde). I also have my other purple Retro sock to finish. I think I might frog the Jo Sharp sock I made for myself and turn it into a scarf or something. I'm just not in love with how Mike's socks turned out, but I do love the yarn, so I need to do something different with it.

Mike's Jo Sharp Socks

Finished my Dickinson/Bee paper last night and then celebrated by finishing Mike's second sock using the Jo Sharp Mohair and size 7 needles. I think they might be too big. (I had to buy a fourth ball of yarn to make them work. I might rip the Jo Sharp socks that I'd started for myself. I think I just have one done and there might be something better to make with the yarn. One thing I don't like is that I'm not sure it's very good sock yarn and I think the pattern doesn't make for very fitted socks...maybe that's sort of how they're supposed to be, but I just can't decide if I like it.
Next I'll finish the heart sachet for John and Simone and my sweater.

French Market Bag

I finished my second French Market Bag using size 7 Addi Turbos and two different shades of green in the Worsted weight Lamb's Pride yarn. It came out really cute, but I' think it'd be a little small for actually shopping. I gave it to John and Simone for their wedding with some food and candy in it to eat in their hotel room (or whatever). I forgot to take a picture.
