Socks ... just in time

I started this pair of socks two months ago. I purposely made them a lot longer so Little Man can grow into them for the Fall. Yesterday while I was working on the second sock, Little Man tried on the first sock - it fits! My has his feet grown. I hurriedly finished off the second sock so he can wear it now.

Whee ... my 2nd pair!
Finished while watching Batman Begins
Identical socks down to the toe.

This is the first time I've used this sock yarn. It comes with a matching spool of reinforcement yarn for the heels and toes. How cute it that!

P.S. - He wore it to sleep and is still running around the house with the socks on. Success!

Little Man's Socks

My baby has been watching me knit his 1st pair of socks. He would wear the one sock on his foot while watching me knit. In a mad rush while watching 24 last night, I finished the second sock. I slipped it on my sleeping son's foot and whisked him off to bed. He woke up in a fantastic mood this morning when he saw both socks on his feet. He refused to take them off. He proudly stated, "I'm wearing the socks to school today!"

I couldn't separate the boy from his Cheetos.

My First Pair of Socks

Wheeeee!
Not bad for my 1st pair ever knitted. I will take action shots later when Pumpkin Girl wakes up. She'll be thrilled that I finally finished these. I tried to make them match up as much as possible. I learned some new techniques - mainly knitting short rows.
