Rockport Socklets

I made these socks from some ArtYarns I bought in Corpus Christi, while visiting there and Rockport with my sister and nieces. This colorway reminds me of the water we played in at Rockport beach. I used the baby cable stitch pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks.

I ran out of yarn at the toe on the second one, and so had to use a tiny bit from the other skein of artyarns I bought there, to finish it off.

self striping sock obsession

I have been obsessed with self striping socks lately - not really for me, just for Z. They make really cute kid socks! I think I had an aversion to this yarn until recently - like they looked too store-bought or something?
Anyway...
here are the first couple of pairs - more to come in near future.

These looked really cute with the outfit she was wearing the other day, as well - so here they are in action:





and why not include these?





Unfortunately, this simple stripe sock yarn from KnitPicks is discontinued.

finally, a picture of the legwarmers!

or two!



Both pics have such character, with her little feet expressions. Oh, and check out those bruises. You should see the one the legging is covering up.
