I found lots of cutey-pie buttons but the plain abalone buttons are really my favorite. But where did I put the rest of them . . .
I am progressing nicely on my February socks. They are a bit big for me. I don't know if I like the toe-up, other than knowing how tall I can make my socks without running out of yarn. The heel is not as pretty as top-down and perhaps there is a different way to do this. And the ankle seems baggy. BAGGY! YUCK!

This week/weekend is the North American Birkebeiner race. The boys did their first Barnebirkie (kid race) and did a great job. More pics later. Hubby skiis the big kahuna race tomorrow. GO, MAN, GO!
This is the start line at the 2.5 K Barnebirkie. That is a Birkebeiner in front. (google that if you're interested - I'm over my limit of computer time for the morning and don't have time to explain).TTFN!

Beautiful baby sweater!
Love, love the sweater. I really have to make one someday.
Bummer about the saggy ankles:( Pretty socks anyway and I feel the same way about toe up right now. The heel on my current pattern was Heck!
Go skiers Go!
That baby sweater is precious! I love the button picture!!
Good luck to the boys and DH!!!
Intriguing about the computer time...hmmm...
If we didn't have hockey (and a million other things) goin' on this weekend, we totally would've been at the Birkie finish line with our cowbells! (We have two!) (also, some brats and beers too...)

The baby sweater is so sweet! I must try that pattern one of these days.
nothing worse than baggy socks! Hopefully my pattern doesn't give you the same problems! Love the February sweater, your other one was the first one I saw and I loved it so much. The simple buttons are perfect!
No babies in my life right now and none expected any time soon, but that Feb. Baby Sweater has been calling my name lately. Yours is just precious.
