Socks for a Sweetheart (and me)



Above is when I had knitted one sock, and the second one was still in kit form beside it.



And then I got TWO made, and the Sweetheart practised being a ballerina with some fancy footwork.
Actually fancy sockwork because he has never been able to do this without those socks on.

He says...



 


This (below) is really what the colour was like and what it looked like when I tried it on.
Geez he has got BIG feet!!!


He has sworn NEVER to put these socks inside his boots. And is also thinking I could sew soles on them so he has 'house slippers'...
I made sockies for me, too. This was the variegated stuff I got as a surprise that I blogged about last week and knitted up with the cone of silk I scored from the opshop.


Coming along well.

I now have two made, and then I made another pair.

And then I made another pair (almost to the cuff on the second sock) and I knitted a WHOLE sock whilst hanging around surgeon's rooms on Monday.






It is nice to be home on my Mac and to be able to post photos easily....
even if it means I have to make my own tea and toast...

Thanks for your comment, and actually I have made that skirt too and totally love it (I am wearing it in my little miniature profile picture too) If you are interested in seeing how "child-bearing hips" it appears the full review is here: http://handmadebycarolyn.blogspot.com/2011/10/do-you-like-big-pockets.html

Glad you're spending your down time being creative and playing with needles. I read your health update and am pleased as Punch that you're finally going to get someone to operate--it has been so long already.
