The Sock Update

      

Yes, I am still working on the socks. Daniel finds it so funny that I am knitting socks, because I refuse to wear socks, and these socks are becoming huge and thick. They are like major heavy duty snow socks. And since I don't like the snow, I realize now how funny this project really is. The pattern I have been using is from Oz yarn, and it looks like it is no longer available. It has been a very easy first sock pattern, but I don't think I will make these again. Next I want to try a toe up sock pattern or maybe a pattern with heal wraps. There are some super cute baby socks in summer edition of Interweave Knits.

I have so many little babies to knit for so I might get started on some of these. One skein of Lorna's Lace makes 3 pairs of baby socks. And consider almost all my expecting friends are having boys, I think I will just get some light blue. I must say I do love baby feet, and I must make little socks.

I have decided to join a bunch of swaps, so some of my current craftiness I will not be able to show until the swaps are finished. I am working on an awesome iPod cozy and I can't wait to put it in the mail so I can show its greatness. I also joined this wonderful swap, which involves making a small pouch and filling it with fun things. But tonight I will be sewing some postcard for the postcard swap I've joined. That and hopefully finishing the world warmest sock.
