Hi Mary! That was a great show and tell - I wish I knew how to knit. The socks look so pretty. I got my show and tell up and running... I also got your comment. Hmmm. Sometimes my right click turn off does strange things to my comment section.

Oh, you did GREAT! Those are SO cute! I sure wish I could learn to do that. Have you ever seen those baby leg warmers? They are SO cute! A lot of people take pics of their babies in JUST the baby leg warmers- it is so adorable.
Love, Alyssa

It always amazes me how you do that! They look as if they keep your feet cozy. Bobbie is a very thoughtful lady. I'm gonna be a busy mama today making cookies for tonight, running kids to PT and playdates and doing some errands, so I may be a little scarce today. *pouting face*

Great socks! You are very talented. Are they hard to do? Our kids go through shop bought socks in days. I think knitted ones would be much more hard wearing although with some of ours, chain mail would be in order.
Have a great weekend. I may participate if my day calms down a little. Deb

I wish I wasn't craft-impaired! Those are darling. The only thing is, they look blue and yellow to me! I can't see the purple. Maybe I'm color-impaired, too... LOL!

Adorable socks! I love the blue! :-)

How have you been this week? Very busy or calm, relaxing, and knit-ful? Is it sunny and warm up there? *grin* Probably just snow...

You have a blessed day!

I love the socks by the way. I have been wanting to learn knitting for a while. I don't think I'm going to have time to post a Friday Show and Tell today since my Mom arrives in 3 hours; but I wanted to drop in and say hi anyway! Have a blessed weekend,

They are so marvelous! You did a Fab jobon them. I am so glad you liked the yarn. (and actually used it to make something for yourself, we mom's tend to make for everyone else!)
You go girl! I am so proud!
because of Jesus, Bobbie

PS my annual Passion play show and tell is up!

PSS when are you going to knit the boys socks with the Maple leaf? I figure those inside their curling shoes would give them that extra edge!

Love your socks!

Knitting is such a productive hobby.

Thanks for the hugs. I've been needing them. We've all been puny this week with croup...not a lot of sleep going on.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Canadagirl,

I just surfed onto your blog from my friend Barbara's (Downstowngirl). I found your blog interesting & wanted to tell you I LOVE your socks! haha

I'm a Canadian girl from the Southern BC interior (small world, eh?), but living in Texas. Where abouts are you? I'm from the Okanagan. Miss it terribly! Moving back to Canada someday soon... Texas has been good to me, but it's not my cup of tea! :)

Blessings,
Robin (Canadian Bird)

Cute socks, and they look warm too! I haven't learned how to knit socks yet, I still mostly knit things that are a square shape. LOL

Blessings,
