(she clearly loves that hat!)

Chloe Alice arrived on December 19th (a week late) after a short and relatively untraumaic labour. She is a delightful smiley little person who enjoys milk, snazzy hats and spending time without her nappy on. She is fascinated by knitting with all its moving needles and bright coloured yarns but is as yet unable to coordinate her hands well enough to produce anything of her own...although I imagine the first thing she'll do is snatch the hat off her head when she develops coordination.

Do heed the designer's warning - these socks come up big. Idly knitting in front of the TV has left me a sock that would be more aptly suited to my giant-footed brethren than myself. I am stalling on sock 2 until he has tried it on and confirmed whether this is a viable project...

There's more, and it'll come as soon as daylight does (and photography can be completed).

A simple sock, using the self-striping I dyed about a year ago! I am kicking myself for not making this yarn into a pair of Jaywalkers for myself, but I couldn't remember the cast on number late yesterday evening and my lack of internet access meant I couldn't look it up. But they are proving incredibly speedy and relaxing to knit - this much progress was made during a part-episode of Grey's Anatomy. It's also the perfect size and difficulty to stash in my bag in the hopes of making progress on the short train journey to work.
