A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Veering slightly off track

 The other night I took these off the needles...


My usual generic sock pattern and the yarn is 'Silly Socks Flower Pop' by Hobbii.  Heading where else but the Christmas box.  

- I think THESE are so pretty!  Looks easy enough to do too.  Scroll down to see some of the pretty variations.

- Some of you might like to give THIS a try.

- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS amazing artist.

- I love THIS, although I know I would never wear it myself.

    1. Hopefully someone will like them. I like having a pair of socks on the needles so I have something I can pick up whenever I have a few minutes.

    Sherry of createology: Great fun socks dear. I adore the little felted animals. I tried needle felting once. It is not my forte.

    1. I agree - the felted animals are indeed cute. Not my forte either, but I do admire them from afar.

    1. Jeans and T's for me too - shawls just keep falling off and getting in the way so I haven't developed a need for them. I know other people like them though.

  4. One of these days I might challenge myself to make socks. You're amazing to have so much in your Christmas box already.

    1. I work on the Christmas box pretty much all year so it's not so much of a rush at the end. At least that's what I keep telling myself!

    1. If you live in an area where there are pine trees it would be fun to attempt making baskets.
