I knit the first pair for a friend named Kristin who had a little girl named Brigid. I always knew she was having a girl, so I wanted to pick a yarn that would be pink and frilly. Once I began these, they reminded me of Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes from the Harry Potter books/movies. I love these because they were so simple, but the color in the yarn -Lisa Souza Sock in "Sky Drama" - really stands out.
The Fawkes BootiesThe next pair was knit for my friend Galen, his wife Krissy, and their new daughter Ava. I had no idea he was having a girl (no one did, for that matter) so I kept these gender neutral. I did a simple basket weave cuff, and I think they turned out well. They were knit in Regia 4-Ply in a mushroom color. They remind me of little acorns.

Dang, girl, you've been busy! Love the baby socks and the Gryffindor hat.
If I ever get around to acquiring a little person, I'll now expect you to sock it!
elizabeth - thanks! I have had so much fun making baby socks...so tiny and quick!
jen - awwww...let's be honest, you won't have a little person for me to knit for! ;)
