Another pair of socks...
Really dodgy picture I’m afraid – sorry:
but at least it’s enough to demonstrate that I avoided the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome. I love these socks – just as much as I did after the first one – the yarn is gorgeous, and they fit him perfectly. (Of course that won’t last long – he’s 4. His feet grow between breakfast and dinner.) He’s thrilled with them, and wants to wear them all the time. (Don’t you just love children who haven’t yet discovered “cool”.)
Update:
Pattern: basically Thuja
Yarn: Angel Sock Yarn in Chocolate Plum
Needles: 4×2.5mm dpns.
Now, be impressed, be very impressed – am I immediately casting on for another project? No, I am not (OK, so there’s a little matter of some Trekking XXL that somehow fell into my shopping basket at Wollsucht this afternoon, but what’s one ball of sock yarn between friends…?) – I have dug out the illusion scarf I’m knitting for John, and I’ve even made a little progress.
Oh, and if nauseatingly sweet stories about children aren’t your thing, look away now. Sunday morning, John and I were still trying to cling to the illusion that we were asleep. We’d sent Adam off to get dressed, and Ruth trotted after him. We then heard him ask if she wanted to get dressed too. “Yes.” “Alright then, I’ll help you. Let’s find some clothes.” So he took her into her room, and rootling was heard. We wondered exactly what bizarre combination would be chosen, but kudos to the pair of them – they found a pair of navy trousers with a pink stripe, a pink long-sleeved teeshirt, and a stripy pink fleece. There are days when Mummy and Daddy don’t manage an outfit as coordinated as that for her.**

I wish my Nene had the same sense of style as your kids. Today she insisted on wearing a pink ballerina skirt with green corduroy trousers and a turquoise sun hat (it was snowing, btw)Marie () (link) - 07 March '06 - 21:40

Hello. I’m new around these parts but wanted to stop by the comments and say how cosy those socks look. I started knitting socks for my kids at that age – they’re now 18, 19 and 17 and I’m still knitting socks for them. Sure, they went through the “not cool” period but they came back to knitted socks once it was passed.~Sharon J
