Happiness is...

.... special treats. (I may have skipped the po'boys and beignets, but the bread pudding was so worth it!)

.... discovering a new, natural sock model. That seems to even enjoy it?!

.... knowing you are loved.

happy


Pattern: Dotty Socks

Yarn: BMFA STR mediumweight, colorway Rabia (mill end)

Needles: US 1.5

Notes: Used the x-small size to make these child size socks because my gauge was a bit bigger due to the mediumweight yarn. Also, instead of doing the pattern repeat 2x, did it just once in between each section. They fit her perfectly with a bit of room to grow!

It is good to be home.

Night night.

She looks so happy with them! I love those! I can't believe I've never knitted socks. It's on my to-do list, though.

Isn't it wonderful to come home to those who love you? And nice to make something that is totally appreiciated, too? Welcome home!

Ps...I LOVE bread pudding.

She is too cute! It's clear she loves her new socks--and why wouldn't she?!

Glad you treated yourself w/ the bread pudding. It's important that you make those tradeoffs so that you don't feel deprived all the time. Eventually, it gets easier, I promise!
