FO: Hand Dyed sock, ruffled scarf, & a purse

Here's my latest FO's. The sock was made from the yarn that I dyed with koolaid.

I love the way the colors knitted up! I've started on the second sock, but only have about 2" done so far.

I got the pattern for the scarf off of Lion Brand's website. It was made with homespun yarn. It comes in such pretty colors, but is a pain in the butt to knit with. :(

The purse is out of 'Hollywood Knits Style' by Suss Cousins. I

that book!

The yarn is called Landscapes. I think LB makes it.

I'm thinking of adding a knitted flower to the bottom corner of the purse, but haven't decided on what color to do it in. :thinking:

That's all for now! :D

I know the patterns are copywrited, but could you tell me the yarn that is recommended, needle size and gauge info?

I want to go ahead and buy my yarn (or get from my stash if I have it) before the book from the library gets here.

Thanks.
