Hello Everyone, hoping all is well with you today. Lots of sunshine and it was much warmer today, I even managed a wee sit down with my book outside this morning....mind you I had just cleaned the ovens and I wasn't just glowing, I was dripping and needed to cool down. What an achievement though to get it done, it had been left far too long and as I felt as if I had a bit of energy I went for it. Mind you that's all I've done today. Anyway, I managed to get the socks completed that had been started way last year, so really pleased by that, though because they had been left so long, I discovered that one is an about an inch shorter that the other, but they are just for me and will not be noticed. Just as well I'm not a perfectionist lol. Here they are along with some others knitted last year, a couple were gifts for friends;
For the two pairs that were for gifts I made bands with stamped images, just to make them a wee bit more special, Peter and Jean loved them. Thank you for your lovely comments on my previous card, once again I really appreciate them. That's me for now, take care and see you soon,
Yes sometimes it takes ages to actually do a job but once you've done it, you feel better for it...I always think x Yes the weather is warmer today. I had a little chuckle about your socks being different sizes x Such a skill to knit these striking and warm socks and no wonder Peter and Jean loved them. Love the thoughtful and creative bands for them too x.
Wow, these are great Kate. What's an inch between friends? And who's looking anyway? I love the way you did the little wrap around bands for the gifts. They must have been really chuffed with them. We have had a lovely spring day today too. It's make's such a difference when the sun shines. Take care. Hugs. Christine xx
Oh my goodness, the socks are all so fabulous, Kate!! What amazing gifts!! I love the bands you wrapped around them, too!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)
Such cute socks! I like how you packaged the ones that were for gifts.
Today, I got a few short errands out of the way. It does feel good to be done with them. They were just to small to go out for just one errand, but to combine them made it more reasonable. Glad you got the oven cleaned. That is not my favorite job!
Splendid socks, Kate! So colorful and warm! I love all things homemade and I can imagine your friends were overjoyed to receive such a wonderful personalized gift from you!
Hi Kate ...gorgeous socks,I adore hand knitted ones they are so comfy.... We have real spring weather here and I was even tempted to a cuppa in the garden yesterday....finger crossed it stays nicer now it officially spring ...hugs xxx
Morning Kate. I love your sock. What a great idea to make the surround wrappers! They just add that finishing touch. Hope to start knitting soon. You have inspired me. It's such a great feeling when you have finished a job even if it is the cooker :) Nice to sit down with a cuppa after and think "I've had a good day today"! Little things hey!! :) sending hugs, Flo xx
Great minds and all that Kate as I've done the very same job today, I've been putting it off for days and knew I had to do it before I had a good bake up. Very satisfying when it's done though isn't it.
Great sucks anyhows, I'm ashamed to admit I can't knit, my Mum and Gran both despaired of me.
Oh wow, fabulous socks....and what a wonderful gift, especially with the hand stamped band to make them extra special. Don't think you can beat a hand made gift xx
Wow! Your knitted socks look fabulous Kate, a great idea to make bands for the gift ones, they look very professional. Pauline - Crafting with Cotnob x

Loving these fabulous socks Kate, especially the stripey ones! so colourful, makes me feel warm and cosy just looking at them lol! Such a great idea to make stamped bands to go around them, as you say, it makes them that bit more special when given as a gift. Have a good weekend Kate. Love & Hugs Jennifer xx.
Cleaning the oven AND a project that you started long ago, sounds like a very productive day to me!!!!!! Love the beautiful socks, what a talented lady you are Kate. And the bands you added do make them look extra special, nice idea.
You are an expert sock maker Kate and love all the different colours, and such a good idea to add the stamped band around the two pairs for your friends. A really wonderful gift and no wonder they loved them. x
