How do all these new moms find time to craft? Just do it! I suppose. I miss it - the creating, the yarn, the textures.. So I have some WIPs that I am going to pull out and make some time to work on.
The first project socks! Somehow during my maternity leave I have lost a bunch of socks. One side only of course. So on my list is a pair of socks. This yarn was packed in my hospital bag in preparation for the long induction that didn't happen. And they have sat neglected until now...
Two balls of Patons Kroy Socks - Jacquards Denim. I casted on 56 stitches and started with a 2x2 rib and then just knitting my way around. These will be simple socks so I won't have to keep track of a pattern. Knitting these one at a time and will count out the rows after I am done with the first.
It sure took me long enough, but I am pleased to report that I have finished the simple socks! Started waaaay back in February, these socks are done and off the needle and on my feet! AND I almost got the stripes to match. 
Six months!?! where does the time go? Apparently a lot of time is lost playing with this little guy. Especially when he gives smiles and giggles like this <---- However, all those smiles and giggles makes it hard to get a clean photo. Thank goodness for digital cameras, can you imagine how much film I would be using if it wasn't for a digital point and shoot or camera phones?
It took me awhile, but I can proudly say that I have finished my first sock since Casey was born. YAY me... using a simple sock pattern and some self striping yarn, I work on this, not worrying about the row count. I have casted on the second side and made it past the ribbing. 
More Casey? Of course, there is no crafting being done here... Casey is the biggest WIP I've ever worked on. This was last week, he just started holding his head up. He looks surprised, doesn't he?
