When Socks are loved...

You cast on another pair straight away.


The child has been wearing the pink socks for going on 30+ hours. She refuses to let me wash them. This is the child who is naked all the time! Right now she's dancing to the wiggles with the socks on and her underwear. lol! Ah... isn't it fun to be a 3YO? As you can see they've gotten really fuzzy. I totally expected them to be this way. It's super soft springy yarn. Defiantly not a sock yarn per say. But I was going for soft and cozy and sleepable. Apparently they are a little too comfy!

Oh, and I did another of these...



So when I asked Miss N if I should make her another pair of socks. She says "OH yes!" "Let me go get the ya-ren I know where it is." I thought hmm... should be interesting... she goes into my room... rifles the stash and finds, yes, exactly the yarn I was going to use. Between her vast ya-ren knowledge and the way she knits with three q-tips (used to be two then she saw me with DPN's and upped it to three.) I think I've got a protege on my hands!

Oh, and in case you noticed... yes, those are wood needles I'm knitting them on. Shocking I know. But my nickle ones are far too long and drove me batty so I thought what the hey... and you know what... I actually like it. Gasp!

Those socks are so adorable. May I ask where you found the sock pattern? I actually would like to make my daughter a pair of them.

Hello again, Thanks for letting me know where that pattern is from. I'm going to get that pattern. The little hearts on the socks are so cute. In answer to your question the tied sweater is from Better Homes and gardens Knitted Sweaters for the family. You can find it at AC Moore's. :) You knit so well. :)
