My second pair of baby socks is done! I made a few changes with this pair, and have started a third, with a few more tweaks to the pattern. All of the socks are 36 sts, #1 needles with Opal fingering wt. yarn, and about 3.75" long. You might recognize them as leftover bits from my first pair of Opal socks.
You can see we are having a little bit of snow today. After more than 40 days of above normal temperatures, we are finally down to average temps for our area.

Ohh really cute socks. The Barbara Walker books are less expensive at Knit Picks. Beware that Opal Uni red is more orange then red. This seems to be true of all Opal reds. No idea why. I have red, a very light blue and a very very pale pink. I got them online, and the colors are much more pastel then I thought they would be. Oh well the downside of trying to pick colors online. I have been using either Knit Picks solids or Regia if I want an accent color. 50 gram ball is plenty for an accent, or at least it has been plenty for the socks I have done two color :)
