Pumpkin socks

fun little weekend knits

Blue socks new socks

UPDATE: The boy wore them non-stop for three days. Last night he put his foot on the diner table and showed me the huge hole in the heal, and declared, "my foot is growing mama!"

Yeah, growing, sure! I'm pretty sure I spent more time knitting them, then he actually spent wearing them. This is the heart break of knitting things for boys.

Peter likes them. And thankfully, he has decided that they are not itchy. What a relief!

Socks!

My friend gave me this lovely yarn for Christmas a couple years ago. I've started socks with this before back when I was first learning...then tore it out. A few days ago I decided to knock out a pair of socks for Charlotte. It's going to be COLD when we get to Virginia, and she's going to need them. I'll be starting a pair for Peter soon.

Again, I made these up as I went along, using a generic toe up method, on double points, and then added a gull wing stitch on the side, ending with ten rows of ribbing. Absolutely seamless!
