Some more socks

If only they were a pair...Unfortunately they are just two views of the same sock. Simple ribbed socks from Vogue's Socks 2 for my boy. In the especially non-itchy Lorna's Laces. I only hope the second sock pools in the same way! I promised him they would look like this so I hope his isn't too disappointed.
I got bored with socks the other night (sorry Bry I'm still not done with Argyle sock number 1 - only about 12 more rows of the pattern and then some ribbing to go - I'm not clever enough to manage it on the train)
I decided to open up my Crochet Blocks book again and for some instant satisfaction picked up a 9mm hook and some cotton tape I bought in the JL sale at Christmas. I have this duck egg blue and some brown that match my lounge perfectly so I'm going to try and make a cube footstool type thing. This is one ball so far, nearly cushion sized! Certainly was instant satisfaction (unlike the England game - hope we play better on Sunday.)

Lovely colour of Lorna's Laces. I'm adding that to my wishlist! Re: small books with squared paper - I tried the "art" section of WHSmith and there were only blank sketchbooks. Maybe paper manufacturers think that you don't want to use squared paper once you've left school!
