I am definitely in a dedicated Bean Knitting period. Does this count as nesting? I finished the Bean Socks to go with the hat, and they’re very cute and fuzzy. According to the various sites that list baby foot/head/etc measurements for this sort of thing, they should fit an average newborn to 3 month old, so hopefully he’ll get to wear them at least a few times. There’s still some yarn left in the skein, but not enough to do a whole lot with. Maybe I’ll use it as a trim color on something else.

We were kind of curious as to what they’d look like if Jag (aka Mr. Size 15 Shoes) tried them on. Toe socks!!!

I also started on the famous “Five Hour Baby Sweater” in a Cascade 220 superwash handpaint. I suspect it’s going to take me a few hours longer than 5, but it’s a simple raglan cardigan and should be finished quickly, especially with the help of my new sheepie stitch markers. I’ll have to find a cute button to close the front with.
