sometimes I knit

my first two boys rarely wore socks. (or clothes, for that matter)...boy3 is rarely out of them. These ones used up almost all of the same skein used to knit socks for both older boys. I think I have just enough to do one more pair a little bigger if I stripe it with something else, but we'll see. Turns out most of the baby clothing I have is red, white, and blue, so these have gotten a lot of use already. The best part about this pattern? They stay on! and as a special bonus, baby socks take mere hours to complete! just my kind of knitting: fast and practical.
and yes, that is a prefold he's wearing, with little else. some things stay the same no matter where we live ;-p

I love those socks! I doubled Ti up on prefolds once just to see how long he would take to pee through it...45 minutes. Thank goodness for covers! (which I want to learn to make myself)
