sock re-cap

Category:

well guess what! I abandoned the green sock and decided to make red in favor of valentines day for my first born. I over came my shudders and used a basic acrylic red yarn (no worries with the wash and wear). After knitting these adorable sock I can see why I refuse to knit with acrylic yarn, its sucks!!!!!! I hated every moment and at times I almost threw the "sock in" to make a new pair with a better yarn.
But alas I digress, I could not finish the darling socks in time for the big v-day, mother nature decided I had avoided the flu long enough and it was my turn to suffer. So after three very very long days in bed I emerged on friday the day after the big kissy day. My son the sweat heart he is never even new what they were or who they were for, he enjoyed his books and bit of candy.
Well this morning I finished the toes and he is now proudly wearing them tonight at his first sleep over at grammas house.
He has mommies sock to keep him warm and snug!
When he returns from his adventures I will have some photos to go along with my tale.

Socks two at a time?

So I found this book last week and thought " great, this book was made just for me! " You see I suffer from the dreaded second sock syndrome. I have many mix match sock days when around the house.
Any who, back to the book.

This book boasts lots of great patterns and all done on one circular needle and done at the same time. Now, I have mastered knitting in the magic loop method, and this technique is quite similar.

For my 1st attempt I have decide to make my eldest son a pair if bright chartreuse socks. The yarn is salvaged from a long lost sweater. And after a few years I am glad it was never finished and I never ventured forth wearing that! What was I thinking??? I would have been fashion road kill for sure.





I will keep you updated on the progress, Lost is on tonight so we will see how much I get done tonight!



Custom Order for Sharon

Category:

Wonderful Sharon asked me to create one of my new bags the Emma for her with some fabrics she had in her own collection. At first I was of course, sure, no problem! When I received the box full of beautiful fabrics I was a quite a bit Flattered. That She thought high enough of me and my work to trust all these beautiful textiles to my hands. So Any ways after a few emails I got creative and just played with what I had and after 2 days here is what I have created!



Drum roll please......
