Baby Socks
September 4th, 2004 at 3:32 pm (hardangervidda, socks)
I’ve been knitting a lot of tiny little socks lately. A friend of mine, Samantha, is expecting her first child, and I just had to knit some cute baby socks using Cascade Fixation! Here they are, size tiny and not-so-tiny. (For reference, Alex can wear the larger pair, but barely):
And what has happened to poor neglected Hardangervidda???
As you can see, the first sleeve is coming along (sloooowly). I got some Addi Natura needles in 16" length to work on it with at this point. So much easier than DPNs.
Now that I’m done with all my deadline stuff for now (See tomorrow’s entry for pictures of quilts), I can get back to it! I’ve got lots of thoughts in my head for the next project, which seems to change every time I turn around. I’ve been hunting down some neat magazines called Tricotez Calin, that are now being printed in English. I ordered 4 Dale books with kid/baby patterns in them. I’m really attracted to knitting baby stuff these days because it goes SO fast to get it done! I also picked up the Wee Knits Too book at my LYS. I have Wee Knits and love it. The 2nd book isn’t nearly as interesting but I felt I needed the matched set for some reason. (Btw Camilla Valley Farm is a great place to order kits for any Mission Falls patterns. They show every pattern in every book on their website and the yarn requirements too)
