I needed a quick knit for my September SAM 10 socks and I saw this skein already wound up into like 4 little cakes, so the decision was made.
Why 4 little cakes...well..um..I had planned to knit a baby hat with this colorway for the 2008 Ravelympics. I had wound the skein doubled. Then I was going to destash it so I was trying in vain to un-double the yarn. Yeah..note to self...do not pre-wind a skein doubled....either make 2 separate cakes of yarn or knit from the inner/outer of the cake.
This colorway was the 2nd shipment in the very first Rockin' Sock Club a few years ago. I hate to say it, but I've never liked it. I just set it aside and figured I'd knit something for a baby, as I knew it would be perfect for it.
They are so wee I love them, and they go pretty fast too! They are the smallest picot cuff I've ever knit. I thought it would be tough, but not really.
I have plenty to knit the hat, which will be very soon :)

They turned out great Zonda! Cotty and Sweet Baby Kate are really fun knits. My friend loved the Sweet Baby Kate hat and socks I knit for her new baby.

Adorable! Love the colors with that design.
I have another Cotty sock to knit.......sigh. I love the pattern and the yarn is STR. Don't know what my problem is!
Those are so very sweet! I too, can't wait for the little Uncle Frank socks.
How cute. No baby girls around here lately either. What's up with that?
