While I was debating what kind of a sweater to cast on for for the current Youth drive, I was inspired by Jody's beautiful worsted-weight socks to knit my own out of some Cascade Quattro that has lived in my stash for many years. It is my first pair of socks knitted in this weight, and they feel positively toasty. I may have enough wool left over for a smaller pair. They take so little time to knit that the experience is as close to immediate gratification as knitting can be.
I also whipped up a small-ish pair of mittens, trying to brighten up the brown with some bright orange and fluo pink. Now that I have a sweater on the needles (finally!), the smaller projects have been set aside but I hope to go back to them later in December.

Oh, my feet are imagining those purple socks! Yummy. I may have some of that very yarn marinating over here on the other side of the country. . .
Great color choices, Laura! Worsted weight socks are a great idea - quick and extra warm. I've just started a sweater also. Mine is in bulky weight so I hope to have it finished quickly.
Love the color choices in the mittens...
I have two sleeves to finish in my sweater, and I may try some of those cushy-looking socks.
