In the spirit of New Year’s renewal, my final knitting projects for 2010 were to use up some of my endless supply of leftover sock yarn.

This leftover sock yarn baby hat was done in Malabrigo Sock Yarn in the abril colorway. This yarn is perfect for baby hats – so soft, you’d suspect it wasn’t actually wool. Sadly, I did not have enough left for booties, but will likely get one of two of the below project out of the remainders.

These left over sock yarn stockings were done in Mountain Colors Barefoot yarn in the Evergreen colorway (used for the first socks I ever made). I love this pattern, I can knock out three in a single weeknight evening if I’m feeling so inclined.
