MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

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.

      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.

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

      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.

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

      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!

    Nice links. The pine needle baskets will be fun to make this summer.

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

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
