Socks for Rory

Socks for Rory Rory, compared to our other babies, is a "delicate flower" with skinny little arms and legs. Plus he's still pretty new, and they always say that you should dress babies however you would dress yourself and then add one layer. So when I noticed that his little legs and feet were a bit cold over the past few days, I decided to whip him up a pair of baby socks. (He's still too little for the Robeez slippers I bought him.) I used a yarn with a bit of elastic in it, so they should stretch as needed and also stay up better than yarn without the elastic. And I know Uncle Brad will object to the knee-high length of these socks, but don't worry; they can easily be folded in half to form a cute little cuff, and the ribbing will hopefully keep them on his feet. (For right now I'm going for the leg-warming aspect of the knee-high length, but that will change depending on the weather and the environment he's in.) And, if they really won't stay on his feet, I knit in an eyelet row around the ankle so we can put in an elastic or a tie of some kind to keep the little sockies on his feet.
