New extra long hand knit socks.
Socks for my daughter. This is the pattern I’ll use to start knitting her socks for the coming Fall/Winter. (This pair is too small!)

Needles: 2.75 mm dpns
CO 40 sts
Size: Toddler Shoe Size 9 1/2 (Foot Circumference 6 inches)
Trying on a new pair of socks before I weave in the ends. I used the same yarn for my favorite pair of leg warmers (different colorway).
Do you knit socks? If not, I think you should. It’s so satisfying to knit a pair of perfect fitting socks. (Even if they are small like these which can be finished in a few days.) This book has always been very helpful…
Sitting on my lap, playing with fabric, stitches and cotton stuffing.

Bright pink hand knit socks stacked on top of what I think are the cutest pair of shorts in her closet (a gift from her aunt).
I love knitting with Koigu and have a few more new colorful skeins headed my way…. straight to the needles, I think.
Knitting socks. Pink (by request) with some grey stitches knit here and there….
More baby socks. I like that they are not tight around his ankles like store bought socks. I’ve been looking through my stash to see if I can find some yarn for a baby sweater – not just something that will work, but a yarn in a color and fiber that will inspire (and justify?) the time spent knitting. I’m not sure I’ve found it yet…
I am expecting with baby no. 2 – due in two months! I’ve been knitting lots of little socks and recently finished a pair of Elizabeth Zimmermann’s baby longies modified as shorts. I’m also in the planning stages of weaving a rug for the baby’s room. I’ll share more once the linen warp is on the loom…
