I just finished my second ever full pair of socks. Glory be. The second sock has been sitting in my knitting bag for a loooooong time. Once I decided it was pathetic and time to get the little fella finished, it went so quick! Why didn't I finish these last year? They are so comfy and cozy and I love them.
Taking pictures of socks while you're wearing them is a little tricky. But I rolled up my pants and gave it a go. My kids think I'm weird.
So does Cowgirl Rosie.
Have you noticed my beautiful bag in the background? I am in love with this bag. My dear friend Sabine sent it to me for Christmas!! Her package came all the way from Germany and took f o r e v e r to get here. They usually take 2-4 weeks to arrive from Europe. It had been well over a month and we were quite worried about it. When it finally arrived it was full of amazing gifts, and this bag was the last one I opened. I couldn't believe my eyeballs. I opened it in the car with my girls on the way to their dance classes. I just squeeled and clapped my hands. Once again, my kids think I'm weird.
This Cath Kidston messenger bag is the stuff of my dreams! Thank you Sabine!!
Now I'm at work on a new pair of socks. I hope these don't take me nearly as long to finish.
Happy Friday to all! x
the socks and bag are great. And that part about kids thinking your weird...well, I know all about that. :)

I love your green socks, and it looks like you're well on your way to finishing the next pair!
I bet your kids squeal when something exciting happens to them!

Good for you, my daughter knits socks too. I think it is a fabulous talent! Yours look very warm!

Very nice! My favorite sock picture trick is to put the camera on the floor with the timer and then run and pose. ;-)
Love the new bag. So a package from Europe takes 2 - 4 weeks, but only 4 - 5 days from Australia??? What's up with that?
And WooHoo! You're already on the heel flap -- 1/4 done on a pair of socks. You Go Sister!

Being weird, I know what you talking about...my kids think the same of me :o)
Hugs,

I didn't know you were a knitter! The socks are beautiful! I tried to learn how to knit once...my mother-in-law taught me...but I gave up. I'm thinking of starting again!
LOVE the bag! My kids think I'm weird too...I think that goes with the mom territory! :-)

Nothing weird about anything you are saying or doing! And if anyone wants to debate that, just send them my way!
Love the socks....and the bag! Way cool!

Your socks are DARLING! And Sabine is the best. I hope you show all that she sent! That darn Deutsche Post mixed in with heaping helping of US Post... we used to mail Christmas packages to Germany in SEPTEMBER! Ok, so that was when they went by boat. But STILL.
Is it sunny for you today? If so... why are we sitting in front of our computers! Happy Sunny Day! xoxokma

When it comes to cold weather, moisture management really is half the battle. Water conducts heat away from the body roughly 25 times faster than air, so kids get chilled faster.
