Hi Grandma Laurie,
I have 2 pair of socks on needles, I alternate between them. One is just a K2,P2 rib and the other is a pattern stitch. I also have 2 scarves on needles. One is a simple garter stitch variation, but the other is a star cluster scarf from a pattern in an old (winter 99-00) Interweave Knits magazine. I love this pattern and this is the 4th scarf I have made. This one is for my daughter-in-law. (Early Christmas, 2011!!)
