Garter

Lately there has been nothing but sock knitting in preparation for Sock Summit. However I managed to finish off this pretty:


I made this garter for my cousin that is getting married in August. I think it is the perfect wedding present! I really love how the blue ribbon accents the creamy lace of the garter. The pattern is Eloping from Knitty. The yarn is some leftover bit of Silky Sock, which is so soft and so perfect for a garter. I'm also getting some ideas of making my own garter pattern. I think a bit of time with a lace pattern book could come up with something pretty cool!
