I decided that rather than buy Aubrey some more socks that I would make her some nice knit winter socks instead. I got enough yarn to (hopefully) make 5 pairs of socks for her little feet to keep them toasty warm.
This is the first pair I made, just basic socks no fancy cables or lace or anything. I made them so that they will fit all winter long. Which means they are a little big right now, but wearable.
Pattern: My own toe up baby sock "recipe"
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM color P404
Needles: size 1 dpns
Details: Not really much to say here, just basic socks. This was the first time that I used the Koigu yarn (which a lot of people rave about) and I have to say it is nice yarn. The colors are gorgeous and I think that is most of the appeal of it. It's a nice squishy yarn, and very soft. Maybe I am just cheap, but for the price I would never make socks for myself out of it, unless I found it on sale for cheap somewhere.
Mmmmm....socks

Welcome!
Welcome, one and all to my shiny new home on the internet!
I guess I should introduce myself for those that don't know me. I am a creator and crafter by nature. I have been crocheting since I was about 8, knitting for the last 5 years or so and am obsessed with yarn, especially of the sock variety.
I have just recently started dabbling in chain mail jewelry and am loving it.
I have just opened my very own Etsy Shop. Woot! All I have in there is a few bracelets, but more is to come soon, knitting patterns, more jewelry, and even a knitted or crocheted item or two. And eventually a new look for this site as well!
