A Little Knitting

I just finished my first little knitted socks (my second pair, ever) and hat for our little one and thought I’d share. The hat may be too small, but we’ll find out later when we try it on him. I’m also going to line the hat with fleece because I know that this yarn isn’t nearly as warm as the caretakers would expect. Bulk and warmth- that’s what it is all about in Kostanai!

I’ve been using the Yankee Knitters basic sock pattern from Yankee Knitters Designs and “The Knitter’s Hand Book of Patterns” by Ann Budd. If you knit and you don’t have this book, you’ve got to get it. Great, simple, adaptable patterns for hats, gloves, mittens (my next attempt), socks, scarves, and sweaters. A fantastic resource!
