The last half of the foot on each sock is me trying to match the stripes using my leftovers in my stash because I only had enough yarn for half of each sock in the self striping. This meant lots of ends to sew in, but I have been wearing them all week and I LOVE them. This is the Rose City Rollers pattern which is super easy, and great fun to knit.
I knit a second pair, but shhhhhh Christmas is coming and I don't want to spoil any surprises.
Then this weekend I knit up the little kit that came with my latest Simply knitting magazine.
A little angel ornament for my tree. I am going to count her as one of my advent knits!
I have been successful so far in posting every day in November for NaBloPoMo so if you want to know what else I have been up to you can check my previous posts.
I will end with a picture of me at the school's Christmas Faire on Saturday My dh and I went to the cookie house and I scored a gluten free Gingerbread Man..
wearing all the knitted things! |
Lucky gramdchild!
ReplyDeleteGreat socks. Love the little angel. Will the ginger bread go on the tree or in your belly?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely in my belly. It was delicious.
DeleteYeay for socks! (Also gluten-free gingerbread! Yum!)
ReplyDeleteOh, those roll-top socks look great, Mary-Anne. And what a cute angel ornament. Knitting a little thing like that just amazes me - it's the two-sticks thing... ;^) Your granddaughter really rocks that outfit and the music! She's got some serious rhythm!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are so cute. I would have never guessed you 'self-striped' on your own! LOL! Good job! Your little angel is precious and so is your 'rockin' grand baby in her grandma knit outfit! Too cute! That is a great picture of you!
ReplyDeleteLovely socks and I love the little ornament.
ReplyDeleteOh that video is just too cute. She's so pretty. The angel looks great, I love these little knitted decorations people are making. Yum! Gingerbread man....mmmm
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit but an even better model!
