Socks are finished!



Not very good photos, I know, but that is what you get when you ask a 12 year old to take a photo, well it's what you get in this house anyway. The good thing is that natty loves her knitted sock.

Tangy Socks and Mugs with Spots.



On Tuesday my Daughter said that if I was to knit her some socks then she wanted them in wool that was "Orange, Green and White." I really couldn't believe I would find sock wool in those colours, however on Ipswich market there was the very wool. Result. I also got a free pattern.
Next day when I was over visiting Nicola at Halfpenny Home, taking her a birthday present and showing her my find, she got me to start my first ever sock. I am addicted already and have reached the heel, hopefully I will be able to work out how to turn the heel all by myself.
On Wednesday I picked up Natty from summer school and we called into my favourite cook shop at Debenham to buy some silicone cupcake cases, when Natty spotted a set of four spotty mugs. She loved the orange one so we had to have them, I didn't need much persuading as I have a mug addition too.
It wasn't until I set up a photo of the socks, mugs and jug with flowers that I realised that the jug and flowers matched. There is definitely an orange and green theme going on in our house at the moment.
