My first ever knitted socks!! I feel like a Superhero

I am so super excited to share my project with you this week.  For the past year, everytime I see someone complete a pair of socks I thought to myself how I would love to be able to make some too but it looked soooo hard that I did not dare even attempt it.  After making the mittens last week for my little bun in the oven, I decided to just try it.

I am so happy that I tried because I did it!!  This is really big for me and I feel like a super hero!!!  I always feel like I have super powers when I use 4 needles I mean don’t you?  Now I feel like I can maybe do anything!  They did not come out perfect but they will keep my little ones toesies warm and I will remember this feeling everytime I see these little socks on my little one.  Yippee!!!

The one thing I have noticed this week, other than the fact that I am walking pretty slow, can’t really bend down and get back up without help and don’t really want to leave home very much, is that Livie has been sticking pretty close to me lately.  She wants to hug and kiss me all the time and just stays a lot closer than usual.  Can she sense that a new baby is coming soon?  I am enjoying all this extra love from her and realize that she will only be the baby for a few more weeks (I am hoping for at least 3 more weeks) and I hope that I can find a way to give her as much love as I always have.  OK, gotta go because writing this is making me teary.

I am off to see what you other amazing momma’s have come up with over that the Yarn Along.

    I'm glad that you're taking it easy and listening to your body! It sounds like you have very sweet and attentive children, they must have been raised by a wonderful mama;)p.s I tried several times last week to comment but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Phoohey.

    I think I made those exact same socks as my first pair too and I LOVED the way it made me feel to finish them! Amazing! I love the color too.

    Those little socks are so cute! You did great. I've never tried socks before, so I can imagine that you do feel like a super hero. 🙂 Your baby bump looks so sweet by the way. It's so much fun having a baby to knit for!

    I love those sweet baby socks! Also, such a sweet, sweet picture of you and your daughter. Looks like it won't be long at all before you have another little one! Enjoy the rest of the week!

    Congrats on your superhero status! The socks are adarable. I keep thinking about making a second attempt on a first pair of socks… I'll get to it one of these days 😉

    I just knit my first pair of socks this week too! Actually, make that one sock and a third of the leg on the second sock 😉 It is a wonderful feeling and I will need to document mine too. I've been enjoying your blog for a little while…prayers for the new baby and wedding coming up.

    Great job on the socks! Yay for you for giving it a try! One thing I always remember and tell my little ones when a new baby comes along is that a mama's heart always has room for more – God just makes it grow bigger. 🙂

    Oh, it makes me teary just reading it! My "baby" starts school next week, only three weeks before my due date. I'm such a jumble of emotions about it all. Suddenly she seems so grown up.
