Hoping these blue Sock Labs stripe up nicely since these socks are such small circumference.
I also have a skein of the pink Sock Lab 1811.01, but since I don’t know Baby #3’s sex, I’ll wait until after they’re born to decide if I want to incorporate…
Switching to smaller needles because I know felici is a thinner fingering weight and I tend to be a loose knitter. Not swatching because this sweater is going to BE a swatch (if it’s larger/smaller than intended, it’ll still work since baby will fit i…
I really liked the color scheme for my little sock arms sweater and swirl hat (and second swirl hat), so clearly since baby is due in August I need a short-sleeved something in the same color scheme.
Using US 2.5 (3mm) needles since I know my gauge …
To match the baby socks I already made.
I hope it turns out OK with the striping. I may use a contrast color for the bands – not sure yet.

This project is just going to go on forever until I have a huge stash of white socks. I’ll mark it as finished since a “pair” of socks has been finished, but I plan on having this be a continuous project until baby no longer fits these so…
I love this pattern, it’s very easy. The ONLY thing that gave me trouble is when I missed the line “Final Heel Row(RS): K8 heel sts” just before the Gusset section and didn’t end up starting the Gusset section in the right place.
Once I made sure to …

Had a tiny bit of rainbow yarn left – going to make another hat, and will use more Bare yarn if I run out of Rainbow. This one I plan to make a little bit shorter than my previous swirl hat since I may have knit that one a bit long.
Not sure if I knit it too long or not – I measured 5 inches (per pattern instructions) but did not stretch the natural ribbing of the hat to get that measurement – I measured the hat flat, but relaxed.
We’ll see if it’s too big when the baby arrives….

Looks like unwashed gauge is 22 stitches in 4 inches
This makes it closer to a 6-12 month sweater than the 0-6 month size I had cast on, so I may knit to the 6-12 month lengths and sleeves. It’s only a half inch difference on the body le…
