Just A Quick Thing...

So I didn't do it. I didn't stick to it. I started it, but then I moved on to something else. I did not work on the second sleeve. Instead I made these.

Aren't they cute? They are actually an infant size sock! Made in yarn I actually had in my stash! Good thing too they match a blanket and a baby cap made from he same yarn! Cap as modeled by one of my sons toy basketballs and blanket though not the very best picture. All in a creamy yellow, Caron Simply Soft. I really had a wonderful time making all of these. They are for the baby of another friend of mine, one I have known since she was 4 years old and is now having her first child. Sometimes it makes me feel old when people I have known as children in my teens and early twenties start having kids of their own.

 I guess it shows there really is a circle of life after all. Besides, I am digging the baby stuff. It builds my confidence in my knitting ability and allows my to delude myself into thinking that I am a really fast knitter despite the fact that I have been knitting things for wee tiny babies and not full grown adults. Shh, don't tell my ego....

   The boy and I also made an excursion out to enjoy the sun for a bit. We currently live in a complex spread out over a protected wetland inhabiterd by ducks, geese, and nutria. This is my son, experiencing nature...

Or rather, Nature experiencing him!
