Cozy Toes

Presenting Kaelen's Socks! My daughter is following in her mama's footsteps and I am so proud :-) I was going to , a little knitter in the making, but then I realized how wrong that is. She's a knitter through and through. And the stash scattered all over her bedroom proves it!

And you know, it's fabulous having another knitter in the house, I get a bit jealous sometimes of those who get to enjoy knitting groups, but really I have my own little group at home. Besides, Kaelen is a fantastic enabler, really, I've trained her very well. Who do you think talked me into joining a sock club!

Simon insists on being involved.

Kaelen knit these in Cascade 220, toe up. I gave her some help with the figure-8 cast on and short row heels, but she caught on very quickly, and didn't need hand holding for long. I asked her if she had any comments to add to this post, she said that next time she knit socks they wouldn't be red.

I think she wants to make mittens next.

Your daughter is soooo talented to knit socks. I never started until I was in my late 30's. They look great and I really like the red.

Wow! Toe-up even! I didn't realize that! Kaelen is a fearless knitter! (We're a rare but exotic species of knitter you know). They look great! Congrats, Kaelen!

I am impressed! I made my first socks last year, when I was 29. I wish I had of learned to knit sooner.

Yay, Kaelen! How much fun to have a knitting buddy right there. She's learning so quickly...must be genetic!
