I actually got home yesterday but was too tired to do more than download the pictures from my camera (I took almost 400!) and grab a shower (4 am is too early to shower). My trip was great. I met a lot of my Dad's side of the family that I hadn't really known before

So cute!

I made these for a co-worker and his wife who were expecting last month and got them delivered just in time. They worked up really quickly and I just can't believe how cute they are. The seem kind of big for a new born to me but babies grow so quickly that's probably just as well. This pattern gives you lots of practice doing kitchener stitch - it shows up in the cuff and again at the toe of the sock.
