This was my first sock!

I say was, because unfortunately its been sock-napped. Yes it has honestly, now at this point I suppose I could be really creative in describing the events proceeding up to its abduction, but unfortunately I'm not really that good at creative writing so I'm just going to tell you that hubby stole it.

One minute it was being sewn up, next its disappeared! Only for me to see hubby sitting on the sofa in a gollum-esk manner talking about his "precious" (sock that is!!)

Here's a photo of hubby, "his sock" and his hairy leg:




It's not all bad I suppose, after all when you think about it how many women knit things for their partners that never see the light of day, hundreds? thousands? And then, theres the jumper curse to consider. I guess I should be lucky that he's taken an interest in wearing something that I've made, even though it was meant for me as the pattern clearly stated "Ladies sock pattern".

This is what I get for having the same size feet I guess, at least they'll be worn and appreciated. However I'd just like to point out in the unlikely event of Sauron and a Mass Horde of Orkes being summoned I'd just like to take this opportunity to say " I KNOW NOTHING!!"

I'm Deep in a goldfish bowl It's sink or swim.

Ok, I've been working on a new yarn. Since having my new Ipod for Christmas I've developed an obsession with listening to the Stereophonics so this yarn is based on one of my favorite songs "Goldfish Bowl"

The yarn itself is mainly blue and green merino wool, blended with a sliver of blue mulberry silk and green Angelina. Its then plied with a pale blue lurex thread with lots of little individual hand cut felt goldfish.

The picture here is fabulous, I must say thank you to Carwyn at Hoffi for taking the photo. "Thank yoooou!"



I'm quite pleased with this yarn, its turned out exactly as I had hoped and imagined and every time I look at it I can't help smiling. The only other problem it has is it makes me want to listen to my Ipod!!!

Thank You Debbie Jackson!!!

Ok let me give you the update so far!!!
