I was like a kid today when I found out I didn't have school, Not that I didn't want to see the Prairie Moon kids but I didn't want to have to trek out into the cold.  Enough said, I have been keeping myself busy even with the inclement weather finishing and starting Christmas gifts.  I know Christmas is over!, the gifts I didn't get finished are for those loved ones that live far away and in which I didn't get to see during the holiday break.  Plus my sister was pregnant and had her first baby was born on Monday the 2nd of January!  I just missed him if I would have stayed in Dodge a week longer...but anyhow that gave me time to knit some warm baby socks for him, yes they are a little big for a new born but babies grow so fast.

Made from cotton these little socks will wash and wear well.  The pattern by the way I found on a site called knittinghelp.com there is also a video which helped me along.  I usually have trouble reading patterns at some point, you know how it is either you don't know enough or you know to much!

So the 5th and 6th grade class at Prairie Moon have practicing knitting in the round with dpn (double pointed needles) by knitting a bracelet/cuff.  So their next project socks!  After conquering baby socks I am ready to teach 5th and 6th grade basic sock making!
