Boy's Baby Socks

After making these socks for my niece, I thought it would be a fun (and quick) project to knit up some baby ones for my littlest guy (5 months) in a similar yarn. I've finished one sock and I need to try and hurry up and finish the other before the yarn arrives in the mail for J's manly cardigan. I like these socks but the only socks I've made are pretty basic, ribbed all the way down the top of the foot with varigated sock yarn. This time I tried to incorporate an eyelet row in order add a tie at the ankle, since baby socks frequently fall off. Unfortunately I had alot of difficulty with this and had to frog quite a few rows. I did wind up with some mistakes in this sock, but I'm chalking it up to a learning experience! I also tried kitchener for the first time. It was a learning experience, let's leave it at that.

After these I think I'd like to try a different sock pattern, especially in the baby size since they knit up so quick. Anny Purls had some really cute ones on her blog as part of the baby sock advent calendar project.

This weekend the high temp is 5 degrees so I think we'll pretty much stay huddled inside. Its a good chance to get some knitting done, and maybe try to work on some needle organization (which clearly needs to be done).
