The top photo was CO officially 1 Mar 2009, by 14th Mar ripped all and re-CO; ogggg...something wrong again, I ripped all again, start with another lovely yarn (from Wolmeisse, Jumtomte Sock Club yarn #1) on 21 Mar 2009. So far so good, I am at 3rd repeat of instep pattern.

funny socks

first Monkey sock is done. This sock intended for my eldest daughter, somehow, at the cuff/heel part, it is too small for her, though I could wear it,ooopss, her feet is bigger than me. Luckily it fits my 2nd daughter, well....I need more practice, first one Pablo deep meant for my 2nd daughter went to my youngest; whereas this supposed for the eldest ended up for the second. Somehow I find my knit gauge is quite loose,...it does not snuggle as fit as others I saw online.

the sock blocker by using normal wire is made by the sock owner (my 2nd daughter); she wrapped the sharp end with ribbon, decorated with a small button; helped by her eldest sis at final finishing part.


taaahhh...daaa...featuring stitch markers made by my youngest daughter for mummy. Thank you, Wee Nee....such a lovely thought

being queit to update this blog....busy as ever. Luckily still manage to steal time to put some stitches on my Garden Fairies (SAL with Lillie). Completed a pair of socks, supposed for my second daughter, however last night she decided to pass it to the youngest ...this morning when I did not see the sock, wooo...she wore it to bed. first time knitted with sock yarn, in facts this is my 4th pair of socks...more to come. Last night cast on toe up Monkey , tried magic loop method, fun and easy indeed. Unfortunately I only have this 2.5mm smallest needles at home. Have to get smaller circular needles for my next try, 2 socks on circular
