Knit Socks/Stricksocken

I also have: Knit a pair of sock(-let-)s. I would've made them larger except the children had been using the wool for crafting and I didn't know how much there was left.

I only ever knit at the hospital. (And only socks so far; I hope I'll never have enough time for a sweater!) DS came home today and the socks are finished. I call that good timing! Thank you all for your well wishes; he is already roaming the house with his sister and feeling fine.

As to November 11th being Corduroy Appreciation Day:

I hadn't known about that. November 11 is two different holidays around here none of which have anything to do with sewing. First, it's St. Martin's day and children have parades carrying crafted lanterns, singing songs and walking after an impersonator of St. Martin on a horse.

Second, in my part of Germany it's the start of carnival celebrations. No, really, die-hard carnival fans start now and carry on through to Lent. Regular people, not necessarily.

Anyway, here's DD with her horse lantern, wearing the corduroy pants I made here. Cord on November 11, all's well.

Manche feiern am 11.11. Sankt Martin, manche in Kölle auch Karneval, manche erinnert 11.11.11 an die Webart von Cord. So jeck sind wir nicht, aber zu Sankt Martin gehen wir natürlich, und das Töchterlein trug auch die Cordhose, die ich hier vorgestellt habe.

Im Krankenhaus habe ich Söckchen gestrickt; da ich immer nur im KKH stricke ist es gut, dass sie fertig sind, denn unser Sohn ist heute nach Hause gekommen. Danke für die lieben Wünsche; es geht ihm gut.
