The Second Socks.....

are done!! They are a little late, but that's ok because it is my personal sock club and I make the rules so I can break them.


There are two of them, but Noo has been wearing them since they were finished and I could only pry one of them off her little foot. I got exactly two photos and then they were back on.

Sorry about the bad photo, it is really difficult to direct a squirmy three year old that doesn't want to stand on a chair to amuse her Mum. Also ABC Kids was on and she was itching to go and watch Play School.

They are a little big at the moment, but that is fine because she is growing like a weed.

That is The Boy in the background. He is nearly ten months old now and into everything. He is crawling and cruising along the furniture. He adores his big sister and is very rarely very far from where she is.

Pattern: Little Witches
Yarn: HoneyBee Mine Sock Yarn - Pink Lemonade
Needles: 2.5 mm Knit Pick circulars

There has been a few other knitterly things going on here too. I have cast on for the February Lady Sweater using my new Knit Picks interchangeable set. I have been stalking a set of these for ages. I managed to get a day away from the kids on the weekend and made a trip into the city and got myself a set. I am impressed with them at the moment, but we will wait and see when they get a lot more use.

There are no photos of the FLS because I have only knit about 6 rows.

After finishing the Little Witches I dragged Soldier to the drawer where my sock yarn lives and told him to choose a skein. He immediately chose a lovely skein from One Fat Slug that my Mum bought me for my birthday. They are to become a pair of Little Roses.


I spent a little time last night with an excel spreadsheet adjusting the pattern to work over 72 stitches and then I cast on while watching Cold Case last night.

I will knit them two at a time and toe up again, just for something different!!

It seems that my 2.5mm circs are going to get a good workout this year.
