Here is the Forest Footfall Sock #1, completed this past week. Not in time for the birthday of Nature Boy. I also showed him the sock already so they are no longer a secret project and can be worked on when he is around. That opens up evenings, weekends and car trips--hooray!
The Wee One's Yuletyde Stocking is right about where I left it plus about another 5 rounds. Seems I have taken a knitting hibernation of sorts in the past couple of weeks. Don't worry, it happens and I have not forgotten about it.
One thing that distracted me was the completion is pictured next. It's a poncho to use when breastfeeding on the lam. I have yet to even use it yet (I seem to just grab the blanket) but it's packed in the diaper bag, ready for an opportunity. The Wee One has gotten far better at grabbing things and we've had some close calls with him pulling at the blanket when I'm trying to get things all aligned under it, if you know what I mean.
I found the pattern in a book I checked out from the library called Crafty Mama. In it she uses fleece to make it no-sew. I used some fabric I have oodles of to make it cost nothing, hence the need for the sewing machine.
I also cast on for a Punkin' Hat for the Wee One, but a little bigger so it will fit his ever-increasing noggin. Here are some pics of him in the Punkin' Patch--I know, he really should have had his punkin' hat on here...

That poncho is a good idea...
That pumpkin patch is awesome!!! All those pumpkins under the trees...
Ha ha! We live in the city so we went to a local farm not far from us (we'd gotten a tree for the holidays there in the past). They grow trees there but we suspect the punkins are trucked in from somewhere else and arranged under the trees for picking...but hey it works.
poncho is very cool and a great idea...Wee One is just the cutest baby! Is he a Steeler fan yet? :-)
