Small pleasures...

Holding a baby in your lap while knitting a pair of tiny socks. It's about as close to heaven as I can imagine. I started a pair of icelandic lace socks for Sophie today. They're made from a gorgeous shade of pink cashmerino that fairly makes your teeth ache it's so sweet. The pattern is on page 28 of "Socks, socks, socks" by Elaine Rowley.

Bliss...
