Happy Michaelmas & WIP Wed

Although we celebrated Michaelmas over the weekend with friends, we couldn't let the actual feast day pass without at least mentioning that Michaelmas actually falls today. The kids were greeted by a Michaelmas dragon on our board this morning.

And we spent a few minutes reading about and talking about the archangel Michael during breakfast this morning. I actually think it's kind of nice to have the festival on a different day because it seems to allow for more discussion without the distraction of anticipatory excitement.

As for my WIPs, I completed Finn's socks a few nights ago. Socks and slippers seem to thrill him so his excitement over the socks completion was so cute to watch.

You can see a better picture of the actual color of the socks here. I really like the white flecking in this colorway. I made these socks a 1/2 inch bigger each in the leg and foot to accomodate for growth so they're a little bigger than the last pair.

Doesn't he look sweetly proud of his new mama-made socks?

And I started another pair of socks, for the hubby this time. I really to finish up a few things and stop starting new projects for now!

What are you working on right now?
