my lovely socks!

And I say I never win anything!  Wrongo!  I sure did this time. Look at my lovely sockies... from Anne.  It was her second blogiversary and 600th post all at the same time... a busy lady.  But...somewhere in there she still finds time to knit ...and knit some more...and 3 of us lucked out and got socks.  From a lovely yarn with circus themed names.... we chose our own colours and voila....socks!

As a total non-knitter I just don't understand knitting at all. How do they fit so perfectly?  when all she had to go by was the length of my foot?  Amazing.  Nor do I understand how, from a single variegated strand of yarn, a pattern is formed...but, somehow it happens!  Somebody, somewhere... must have gone to an awful lot of work figuring how to make it do that.

They fit perfectly Anne!  heel and toe bang on... tops perfect....

I love my socks!

... and...that wasn't all.  In the packet there was also a lovely piece of fabric that is designed and made right there in her area.  She wonders if perhaps one of the dolls might like to wear it someday.

Now, I'll have to get my thinking cap on ... and I'll definitely have to be organized before I cut into it.  I think I better make the original design in muslin and transfer the design to the good stuff.

Hmmmmm....

... can't even turn my back for a minute to change batteries in the camera and somebody gets curious.... just had to feel the material and check it out didn't they?.....

Thanks again Anne.... oooooh.... who's a lucky girl?
