Socks on the chopping block






Socks are done, they were knitted in the airport, in the car and outside when inside was to noisy from the power tools renovating the kitchen- a saving grace at times. I also bought "Big Sky Cooking" as a kitchen house warming gift to my self. Using seasonal local fare...I have every intention of cooking up a storm when the kitchen is done. I love reading cook books.

...and then there are those who care less about knitting and reading cookbooks. As long as there is a shady spot with some soft grass to rest her little body- Lilly's a happy camper.


What are you knitting?

Joining Ginny today

    I love the way dogs look when they sleep. I always want to smooch 'em on the muzzle.

    I'm starting over on a summery knit shirt that I attempted last spring but it came out too big so I frogged it. Hopefully it works out this time because I really love the pattern.

    Oh my! Those socks are just beautiful! What yarn and colourway have you used? I love wearing hand-knit socks, they are just the best. I've currently got a pair on the needles and I'm seeing so many socks on this weeks Yarn Along link up :)

    Lilly! So cute. Love those socks too - so you. I am especially intrigued by your whole foot ribbing - makes sense to me - how do you like them?

      I do, mom says the ribbing keeps her feet warmer?

    Goodness that axe is dangerously close to those beautiful socks!! I love the way they fit, mine always seem to come out a bit saggy on the legs, is it your own pattern?
    Lilly is tooo cute, and that wee smile she has on her face is so adorable!

    Lovely socks, although it is a bit nerve wrecking to see them so close to that axe!
