Purple and Green! socks

Patonyle pattern, yarn from Katt. Lovely!

MIL1 Tea Cosy

Knitted in a night, on a whim. She loved it!

Pomotamus



Pomotamus from Knitty. They are divine! Knitted with yarn from The Knittery, 100% merino. I am a bit scared to wear them, they took a long time and they have holes in them which could get snagged on things!

I can't say no socks

Knitted for a friend of a friend of mine, because I can't say no! She bought the Opal, what was I to do? She has since knitted another pair for herself, so at least some good came out of it!

Elspiral Socks

So called because I used hand dyed Elvira yarn from Katt and spiralled a yarn over - every four rows I just moved the yarn over over! Then, I did it the other way around on the other sock, so they match. I actually made lots of mistakes with these socks, but you can't tell. Lovely. Soft and warm!

Fon Sox

Made for the Tiny Madam with some leftover merino sock yarn that I won. They were not meant to be toeless, for fons as she calls them (thongs/flip flops), but she tried them on and for size and wanted no toes. Who am I to deny the wishes of a Princess?

Mother in Law Socks 2

Made for my other Mother in Law, my husband's step mother. Patonyle sock yarn, Patonyle pattern. Go Patonyle! She loved them. I thought they were ok.

Pregnant Friend Socks

Made for my pregnant friend (duh) using Opal and Patonyle pattern again, but slightly longer this time. She loved them. I was not so sure.

This is how I package my gifted socks!

Mother in Law Socks 1

Made for my husband's mother, using yarn from The Knittery. Pattern from my Patonlye Accessories book. She loved them, and so did I!
