Knitting Socks

So, after this half sock sat in a plastic bag in my closet for the last, uhm, 10 years, I decided, it's time to give it another try. And really, after having knit two pairs of baby socks, how hard could a pair for myself be?

See for yourself

I think they turned out nice apart from the little holes in the gusset part...

Now I have to make a pair for my husband, because he keeps complaining about cold feet at night. I better hurry though, cause it is getting warmer here every day.

Snow and Ice

We got quite some snow over the past week, so you'd think, I'm knitting all day! I wish, but my 3.5 year old does not always agree with that. So, this is how I kept him busy. He made a bird house with daddy:

He and I did several other crafts. Here is a picture of the apron he decorated with fabric paint:

I got around to finish a few projects however. One being a seamless Baby Kimono, that I found here: http://thecompletefabrication.blogspot.com
It was a quick knit and turned out really nice.

See for yourselves:

I made a pair of socks to go with it:

 

 

Gorgeous wrist warmers I made to match a rainbow hat I made last fall:

Gregor was crazy about them and kept putting them on, running off and playing with them, so I decided to make him a pair. Naturally, he won't wear them.... ;)

Last week, I decided to frog (undo) a sock that I started so long ago, that I can't even remember. Since I was unable to find the pattern I used, I just restarted it. Looking forward to wearing a pair of socks  I made myself.
