Why is it just so hard to complete that second sock? It took only one relaxing wet Sunday afternoon to complete the first slipper.
Here is the next one. So near to completion. Just a few more rows until the toe decreases are complete. It is quite hard knitting those last few rows with the smaller needles on the bulky wool. Although that is the combination that makes these Mary Jane Slippers such a great asset for slip sliding on tiled floors without wearing too quickly.
It's made of two strands of Lincraft Fairy Floss Yarn in a pink rainbow colour combination combined with one strand of yellow Panda Zoomy purchased through eBay last season. Rainbow yarns are a big favourite in our house so I knew the yarn would come in handy for something for my precious Ess.
That nursery rhyme I sang so often when Ess was a baby with those socks continually coming off those sweet tiny feet seems to be pertinent today as well. In so many ways the little ones change, yet in some they remain the same.

Went to bed with her stockings on;
One sock off and the other sock on
Diddle diddle dumpling my daughter Ess.
Looking forward to another little pair of teeny tiny, sock-removing feet coming soon! :)
