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.

A little tutorial?


A tutorial....of sorts (who knew?!)

I use this toe pattern for all the socks I do and you end up with a nicely rounded toe.  I was writing the 'structions out for someone and thought perhaps some of you who are sock knitters might like to give it a try.

Row 1:  K6, K2 tog, place marker(s).   
Rows 2 & 3: Knit even.   
Row 4: K5, K 2 tog
Rows 5 & 6 :  Knit even
Row 7:  K4, K 2 tog
Rows 8 & 9:  K even
Row 10:  K3, K2 tog
Rows 11 & 12:  K even
Row 13: K2, K2 tog
Rows 14 & 15:  K even
Row 16: K 1; K2 tog
Row 17 & 18:  K even
Row 19:  K2 tog and then sew the stitches together.


- THESE are really cute, especially the Hello Spring project.

- Of course THIS caught my eye!

- THESE are cute and something to perhaps have on hand as your garden starts to grow.

- Have a peek through the creation galleries of THIS artist!

Today's quote is from Alison Faulkner....  "Enough is a decision, not an amount"

  1. I don't have a printer but I like the idea of making pretty seed packets. I've just gone through all my seeds for 2026 and my jumble of various crumpled envelopes is not very attractive.

    1. I expect likely most people have the exact same storage system!

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.
