Yarn Along:: Happy Socks

Finished my "Happy Socks"!! Happy Socks

I finished my Happy Socks the other day! I am so happy with them. I love the yarn. So bright & cheery. And I have plenty left over to make a certain little girl a pair too (as I was so sweetly reminded as soon as both were on my feet). 

I'm also working on her Easter sweater. So far I've ripped it out TWICE. First because I knew it was knitting up too small and I also wasn't pleased with the pattern. So I found a new pattern and had JUST divided for the sleeves when I realized I was making the 18 month size not the size 4. Oh how I was so upset with myself. But I took it out and started over and now I like both the size & the pattern. Due to sock knitting and the troubles with Ree's sweater I haven't picked up my February Lady in over a week. I think it's time to focus on the sweaters!

For reading I'm in the middle of books right now. I just finished Project Based Homeschooling yesterday. We went to the library last night & I picked up a few new ones but haven't had a chance to start one yet!

  1. Happy socks is such a great name for your pretty socks.

    Oh dear, that is a big size difference, but at least you are on the right track now. I am knitting an Easter sweater too, but my problem hoping the weather is cool enough to wear it!

  4. I love those socks! Great color. I'd be so frustrated to rip out the sweater twice. Ugh.

  7. I love these! So happy, indeed! I want to read Project Based Homeschooling, but can't find it locally. Not sure I want to buy it, so I'm waiting for a copy to come to the library. Did you enjoy it?
