A little pirate knitting
I had a lot of time to knit in the car on vacation -- it's a long, long way from here to Bar Harbor, Maine. I believe it was about 14 hours so I had time to take a design idea (little pirates I saw on theHello Yarn blog as a free pattern for a hat) and to do the math to make the pattern work on socks for 3-year old little boy feet. I picked out yarn from my stash before I went -- some now sadly discontinued Knit Pick Sock Garden in Zinnia and some still-available Knit Picks Essential sock yarn in dark blue. Here is what I came up with...
Pirate socks!
These are the socks on a rock outside our hotel in Kennebunkport. They are on a rock because I had little success photographing them on 3-year old little boy feet. Note: 3 year old little boy feet are not know for staying still.
Case in point: There those socks go!
I pressed old sister Megan into helping hold the little boy feet still. It goes without saying that this met with little success:
Although it was fun to watch
. I did finally get the picture I wanted of little boy feet in pirate socks by having Megan block his path around the bed. "What no where to run?!"
