Winter is coming - warm socks are needed

My nine month old baby , seems to think it is fine to take of your socks where ever and throw them on the street, often I catch it, but when we were in Denmark she lost the last pair of wool socks we had (well just one of them) so now she has no socks that match.

I therefore used some scrap yarn (yay for me) and made these socks, that are warm and fit her well.

The pattern was a mixture of several patterns, but I mostly use this one as my sock bible pattern, the pattern is made for all sizes in aran and bulky pattern, but I just find some pattern on ravelry for the stitch count and then use the icelandic sock pattern. (I used 40 stitches and needles 2.5 mm)

Alpacca sweater

My younger daughter needed another sweater, and I already have more planned (please don´t tell my husband).  She needed something now that it is spring and it is to warm to wear the snowsuit, she only has some open sweaters that are partly buttoned and I felt that her tommy would be cold.  And this one fits with a bit of room to grow (maybe not very wise of me how little room there is to grow, and I should maybe give this away but I´m not always rational).

The hat and mittens were blogged about previously here

She seems to like it
