Sharleen's Socks



Pair No 3 for 2017.

I've gone back to short row heels. I found a link to a "no wraps no gaps" short row. This style of heel is  more stylish..

I've made these in record short time as I'm avoiding some other tasks I need to be getting onto...sigh! now they're finished I best get to work.

Alex



Check out my Ravelry page for details.

Alex is motorcycling around our beautiful country. We first met in Turkey and stayed with him at his home in France on our last trip.
It’s nice to return the hospitality.
The special thing about Alex is that he has a prosthetic leg and the big joke (that he makes) is that a pair of socks last twice as long. The prosthetic limb doesn’t wear out the sock/s so he gets better wear from socks than the rest of us!
I'm hoping they will fit and are not too big...

Red and Green Stripes for Lucinda


Although my sisters have given me the cold shoulder ever since my mother died. I continue to act well with them and send them socks from time to time...they seem to struggle to send me even a polite thank you.... I find this rudeness to be rather amusing.

As usual yarn is from my favourite yarn store The Loopy Ewe and you can see the details on my Ravelry page.

ps I have to report that I had a birthday email from Lucinda BEFORE she had received the socks and it was mildly friendly....we are making progress.

Scrappy Hi Vis



I used up the last of the hi-vis pink and leftovers and have made this socks.... See my Ravelry page for details
