Behold! My first sock ever! The sock class on Saturday was great and I am so pleased to have learned this. It means now I can always have a pair on the go. It is a baby size, so we could finish it during the class but we were given a free adult pattern which I bought the wool for and have wrapped up for Christmas from Santa. It's under the tree! ( we got our tree on Staurday night and I only broke one of Paul's vintage ornaments-sigh. )
This is what the Table looked like halfway through the class and after I was souped up on a coffee I didn't really need.
On my walk home I spotted this happy little guy in an empty shop window.
Last night I finally tackled my stained sweater project. I had a spot right by the zipper and had been envisioning sewing hearts on it. I used the leftovers of a fulled/felted sweater I had used to make this
shrug a while back.
Hi Tania, I'm new to your blog :) I like the idea of hiding spots with something like this because I have a few pieces of clothing that I love but can't wear because they got stained. This will have to be one of my projects too!
