I've been eyeing up the gorgeous socks that everyone has been making these last weeks on the yarn along posts and I finally just had to give it a try :)
I came across the ravelry pattern 'Most Basic Kids Socks', picked up this fun rainbow colored finger weight sock wool by Marks & Kattens and set to work trying to figure out just how to use a set of double pointed needles *grin*. Those are some tricky sticks! LOL
The first 13 rows were a basic knit, purl rib stitch and now I'm working on the 52 rows of straight knit which is going nice a quick but I'm finding it hard to steal little moments during the day to work on them so I think they will be my special project when we go and visit the inlaws. I always try to take something to occupy my time while we visit and this will be great! I just hope that I don't run into any problems with the pattern being a knitting newbie *grin*.
I'm still reading the Secret Garden but I also picked up a copy of Don't Make Me Count to Three by Ginger Plowman. I can't wait to have a peak inside of it but that will have to wait until after Christmas is over :)
Hugs,

eeek, I tried to knit socks like that once...but I was like...11 or something, and it didn't work well, I was a slow knitter back then and after two months still had just a half of the first sock so I gave up...maybe I should try it again :D
LOVE THAT WOOL!!!!
great yarn! i've been bringing my knit along in my bag while visiting with my family right now or sitting in traffic... you'll love the socks and they may become your project you bring along places. i have that same pattern bookmarked and hope to make them for ezra out of the same yarn as his hat. about to post my yarn along and you can see. : )
That yarn is gorgeous! All my rainbow yarns seem to come out pastel when I try to dye them. Bah.
Hopefully the sun will come out soon and I'll hop onto the yarn along. (:

Your sock yarn is gorgeous!! You have to show us the finished socks, I bet they'll be absolutely beautiful.
I know this sounds like a broken record, but - that yarn is just AWESOME! My girls would love socks knit out of that!
I have plans to knit my girls socks after Christmas, so thanks for the pattern link.
