Socks for preemature born babies

One last post for today.

I'm taking these to Vaasa Central Hospital later this year when I'm going to labor by myself.

Pattern: basic baby socks and Baby socks by Kerttu Latvala (Ravelry)

At first I was knitting very tiny socks but then remembered all the machines etc my son was stuck in five years ago and started making a bit wider socks.

Autumn hat for me

I desperately needed a green hat. Immediately. This was easy and fast to knit.

I'm thinking about knitting a green collar to wear with this. After I've finished million other projects.

I was planning on knitting a simple triangle scarf for me this winter. Something so simple that I could knit even if we'd be so lucky to have another colic baby. This week I saw this beautiful Lang Yarns' Jawoll Magic Dégradé skein in local yarn store and just couldn't resist it. This will be Boneyard shawl by Stephen West (Ravelry).

Edit. Oh dear. Can you see what's wrong with one sock? I'm too pregnant.

Edit2. Fixed.
