There is definitely an advantage to having small feet. ¬†I can get cheaper sneakers and flats because I can buy them in the children’s department. ¬†It isn’t great for buying high heels and dress shoes (unless you want bows or beads on them). ¬†The best part? ¬†I don’t have to worry about having enough yarn to knit a pair of socks. ¬†My problem with the standard sized skein of sock yarn is what to do with the leftovers.
Right now it is a tossup between that sock yarn leftover granny square blanket or making monkey socks.  
Monkey socks won this time:
I finished them this morning on the ferry.  I had an ooch more yarn.  I had been nervous about running out before finishing the second sock.  Details on these:
- Pattern: ¬†My basic sock recipe – toe up over 44 stitches
- Yarn: ¬†Socks That Rock lightweight – Firebird
- Needles: ¬†US1 – magic loop
I just have to weave in the ends and present them to her highness later.
That’s about all I have for today. Have a program I’m rewriting from J++ to C#, bringing it into the modern era, which is giving me a few fits and starts, and a technical specification I need to write. Ugh. I hates writing in english. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Look for spinning kid pictures next week as the Babe Pinkie I bought arrived. Yay!
Craft on!

Another wheel????
Unfortunately I have big feet, so I don’t reap the benefit of 2 pairs per skein.
Pretty socks.
