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.

Looks the same

 The landscape, although there's been quite a bit of stitching, still looks pretty much the same in a photo so I'll wait to show you a progress picture.  Instead, how about I show you the socks I finished knitting for the RC...


Pattern is my usual generic one and yarn
is Paton's sock yarn.


- Better stock up on your bread crumbs before you head down THIS rabbit hole!  

- HERE is something the coffee drinkers among you might like to try.

- If you have someone with long hair on your gift list, perhaps THIS might be of interest.

- THIS is a pretty scarf that might be good to use up some leftover yarns.

    1. The RC is happy with his new footwear so that's good. And yes, we all need to show more kindness to others.

    1. Sadly the true colour of the socks didn't show up well in the photo (it's a rainy day here).

    1. The RC chose the yarn and I have to say I was a bit surprised. Usually he goes for something a little more subdued.

  8. Beautiful! I've probably said this before, but RC is a lucky man with toasty warm feet tucked into your wonderful colorful socks. :)

    1. He does like my hand knit socks, for sure. I consider myself lucky that he does the cooking so the least I can do is knit him socks.

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.
