Still Stitchin'

Tonight DD and I had our usual little sit and knit time together. I naturally spent more time helping HER knit than actually knitting myself LOL Well, not really I guess but it sure feels like it sometimes. I love it. I'm so very proud of her! She finished knitting her first sock. She used some "thick and quick" as Aimee says and it knitted up fairly quickly.It only took her about a day and a half to get it done. She used the same pattern I have been using- Indigo's Tube Sock pattern. She did an ankle sock version. Very cool.

I am working on yet another sock ( who knew...). I decided to start a new pair for my friends son. I still plan to finish the black and white match for the one I already did but I wanted to make a pair that would be more functional for the "wet sock treatment" considering I'm pretty sure that's why she asked for them. So, I finished one and I'm half done with the other. I made the cuff much longer and used way smaller needles so that my stitches came out tighter. I still used the alternate toe pattern - I know I already said it but I really like that one.Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow so that I can go to playgroup and give them to her as well as give her friend the nb pair. I'll be sure to take a picture when I'm finished tommorrow and post it.

In other news... my friend Melissa had her 2nd babe last night. Her first little guy was born 3 yrs ago @ 35 weeks. Her 2nd little guy was born last night and following in his big brothers footsteps made his appearance @ 35 weeks. How do ya like them apples? Mama and baby are fantastic, she looks and feels great and baby Daniel who weighed in @ 6lbs 1 oz 18 in is nursing like a champ!! Ah... maybe some socks are in order? ;-)
