  1. How cute….and a mirrored effect, even. You’d be set if you were having triplets.

  2. Doesn’t it just blow your mind that there are human feet that can actually fit into those sweet little booties? they’re SO CUTE! nice job on those nancy bush socks. As to baby knitting, something tells me that once Thumper arrives, you won’t be doing much of anything for yourself (at least not in the beginning), so enjoy those Nancy Bush socks! xxx

  3. Okay, the socks are just too, too good. I am making my first pair of just basic socks and I am practically having some kind of hysterical fit over them. These are beyond gorgeous. I have huge sock envy.

  5. You there? Hello? There is *nothing* wrong with knitting for yourself. You’ll be doing plenty for the little guy when he gets here. Treat yourself now.

  6. Those are some pretty awesome socks. I recently knit some Pomatomus, and I really like the less holey-ness of these.

  13. Kelp’s recently knit Pom socks were for ME! Yay me! They’re awesome – thank goodness I don’t have to knit any now. hehe

    Those are so pretty Cari – the Cranberry is a great color and the pattern is so pretty. I love all NB patterns it seems.

    And I just finished that exact same Child’s First Sock pattern for myself last night using STR! I love it! The pattern and the socks in both STR and LL Cranberry. Very nice!

  16. You won’t have much time for knitting once the baby comes so, you may as well knit as many lovelies for your own feet as you can.

  17. “Should have been knitting for the baby”???
    Should have? You’re giving it LIFE.

    I think that’s enough.

  25. Nice job on the socks. I’m starting the toes of the first sock on these and LOVE this pattern. I’m using Lorna’s Laces – Ravenswood and love the feel and look of these.
