Kathy's Moebius Fanny Basket
Kathy's basket ended up being made in the small size. We decided that was the most practical size to have if you only had one basket.
We had picked the color "iron ore" for the handle and rim but it didn't seem to have enough contrast so we combined "abona rose" with it. Looking at it unfelted, it looks rather nice as far as colors go, but the final test will be when it is all felted.
On the other hand, it is a gift and you don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
I think it is gorgeous. And very well knitted. Actually, I would say, awesomely knitted by an awesome knitter.
I added a picture of the three small baskets - mine is blue, mom's is blue on blue, and Kathy's is red on red.
Mom's Basket
Mom's basket is felted and ready - well it has a few strings to nip off, and THEN it is ready for her to start knitting socks. We are going to do toe up socks using the Generic Toe-up Sock pattern as amended by moi for magic loop, two socks at a time knitting.

Another Basket Done
Mom's basket is knitted, just waiting to be felted. Since she has a large one already, we made her the small version for knitting with. My husband thinks there are way too many baskets especially when he saw me starting to knit yet another one after this one.
This one is Wool of the Andes. The handle is Cerulean and the bottom is from the hand-dyed collection called Graham. The one photo show the large size in red, the small size in blue and the unfelted small size in mom's new colors.

Mom is still too busy
Mom is very busy knitting and knitting and knitting. She is finishing up this baby kimono (from Mason Dixon Knitting One Piece Baby Kimono) done in a white Sugar and Cream cotton yarn. The cotton yarn is what the pattern calls for but mom has decided to do the next ones in a soft baby yarns.
99 and 44/100 % Done
Teresa's felted foursome basket is just about completely done. It is all knitted, and sewn mostly. The last bit of sewing would have made it hard to stuff in the box. I packed it in the box along the balloons and extra yarn. Where I sewed, I pulled it tight for shipping but left the tails so it can be loosened for felting/fulling.
This looks so huge but it will become way small - much much smaller pockets than the one Teresa has now.
One pocket for the first sock skein, one pocket for the second sock skein, one pocket for the socks to be set down in, and one pocket for a scissor, a needle to kitchener with and a candy bar.

Ping Pong Wrist Warmers
These are in both the Nordic Knits Booklet (Booklet produced by the Nordic Heritage Museum for the Nordic Knitting Conference 10/07 Seattle - Available thru the Museum giftshop for $10 plus tax/shipping nordic@nordicmuseum.org) and in Invisible Threads by Annemor Sundbo. They are easy to knit, but I think could be more useful than some other wristwarmers I have seen.
