I love knitting. I do that daily for my felts, but I love knitting in general. Choosing the yarns, colors and patterns, trying out different stitches and techniques. I used to knit a lot, almost all my gifts for birthdays and Christmases were knitted shawls, mittens, hats and even jerseys. If I still had the time, my family (and friends too) would use only (read: much more) hand knitted clothes.
But when there's not that much time, one must enjoy things in smaller scale. Like knitting something slightly tinier (and quicker, obviously) but enjoying the process in full. My dear old friend had a baby in his family recently, and I just had to make the newcomer pair of socks. And not any socks, I spent some time in ravelry searching the right pattern. Did you know that if you type there baby socks, you'll have 57 (fifty and seven) pages full of the most adorable chubby feet with tiny socks in them?
I didn't know, and finding a perfect pattern...Huh. I didn't actually find one, but many, and made the socks with ideas from here and there. I hope they'll fit (they're tiny but the guy's wee too) and keep his little potatoes warm this cold and rainy spring. Oh yes, it rains constantly. It's good for the snow (good-bye!) but I have a creepy feeling that this will stop only in October, when the snowing will start again. If you happen to have extra sunshine lying around, please donate it to my way, thank you!
Happy Thursday!
Yours,
Mia

Oh Mia they are just such sweet little socks, you forget how tiny baby feet are. They will keep him so snug. I hate to say this my dear friend but the weather here can only be described as glorious. It reached 23oc yesterday and today is clear blue skies and sunshine already. I REALLY want to blow some of it over to Finland to warm my dear friend up. I do hope it does soon dear. Sending sunshine in spirit to you :0)

There's something so precious about tiny baby feet. :)
So you have got rid of the snow and now it's raining, oh dear. :(
It is so beautiful here, I think the whole of the British Isles is the same! I wish I could put some in an envelope, special delivery for Finland. Hopefully things will brighten up soon!

Hi Mia,
They are the cutest thing. Ever. Really, so sweet and teeny, tiny!
I do wish I could send you some sun, we've been doing very well on this front, in fact in true doom and gloom style everyone keeps remembering that we have a lovely April last year but the rest of Summer was a wash-out! Hope you get your share soon. Bethx
Thank you Beth :) I cannot believe how teeny-tiny baby feet are, you just keep forgetting and then you see a newborn and he just about fits into the palm of your hand... Oh dear!
I am wishing some sunnier days here too but also worried about the rest of the summer already...This is pathetic, I know, but I just love summer so...
Happy new week!
Yours,
Mia
