Christmas 2007 in February 2012
If ever a pair of socks deserved a "Ta Daaaah!" it is these.
Highland Schottische Kilt Hose by Nancy Bush from Folk Socks.
They were started way way back in November 2007, finished on the 10th February 2012, arrived in their new home today and will be off on Honeymoon to Scandinavia soon!
Here are some shots I took before I parcelled them up (they are a little too small for me).
For two socks knit 4 years apart they aren't that bad!
There is one place they are definitely fraternal - the calf shaping - but no one is perfect...
I am so glad they are finally finished!

WIP Wednesday - A flowery blanket
This week crochet has taken over from the knitting. I started a sock, however it seems it will fit Thomas, not Owen. Ho hum. Thomas needs welly socks too so it isn't a problem. However it is Owen's birthday very soon so I do need to get a wriggle on with those.
I have to tear myself away from this first though....
Baby number 4 for one of my best friends, she has three blankets already; it wouldn't be fair to leave this one out.
The flower squares are based on Marigold from Jan Eaton's 200 crochet blocks - or rather the middle bit is. I think the squares will block to 25cm x 25cm. My calculations tell me I can get 4.5 squares out of each ball - so the two balls will give me a 75cm square blanket. However, I think I will want to add a border, so will probably order another ball.

WIP Wednesday - Sock news
I'm nearly there with the Kilt Hose. I can hardly believe it.
So much so I am thinking about my next sock project with these #bargainballs from Kemps.
Regia 6 ply DK weight sock yarn. Katie was knitting socks from it in York and a number of us have followed suit and bought some of these "bargain balls"!
I'm planning on a pair of welly socks for my soon-to-be 5 year old Godson with the the one on the bottom left and a baby blanket with the top two.
