Today, my little family unit went to Fort Edmonton Park. It's a little piece of local history where you can ride a train...

admire the horsies...

try out a new playground...

and have fun.

It also makes a great movie set.
All this relaxing has meant little for my knitting. I'll show you my new yarn that I ordered for my Hanami. I'm delighted with the color and the service I received.

I've been trying out the toe up pattern from the Summer Interweaves. It turns out the child's small is too big for my small child. I plan on finishing these socks, which are bigger than her brand-new, too-big shoes and filing them away.

I guess I'll be making her another pair for Christmas this year but I'll be up a pair for next year. I think I'll use the same pattern and fudge the numbers. Toe-ups are great for using up the ends of the balls I use for my socks. I'll just have to make sure we're not wearing matching socks everyday. That's just a little too much.

Both Dude and dudette look so cute!
Yeah - if you start wearing matching socks, I'm looking for a new co-blogger. That might through me over the edge (and we know I'm teetering there anyway).
So, I shouldn't be surprised that you're not working on hers and hers cardigans for Christmas? Matching clothes (on spouses or parents/children) totally freak me out.
