First socks!




My first pair of socks- miniature sized :) I decided to make my almost one year old a pair first, for this fall/winter. It's a basic sock, Drops design pattern from ravelry, and was very easy to follow. So fun! I want to try a different heel construction though. These socks are a 12-18 month size, and still a bit big, but I figure he has a while to grow into them before he'll need wool socks :) Well, a few months at least.

Decided not to try to line up the stripes, as I kind of like the not quite matched look, especially on my little man. I love how quick these were- definitely nice after having to rip out the whisper progress.

Speaking of Whisper, I'll be casting on for that again tonight or tomorrow... I have a ball winder from Knit Picks, and a swift, on the way, which should make winding the rest of the yarn for it much easier. And more sock yarn- some undyed, to play with koolaid. Woo hoo!
