Sock♥♥ it to ya baby...... And sky scarf reveal!

Today's hearts are very kindly 'sponsored' by our young friend Tash in the form of her rather appropriately adorned feet .....


 Thanks Tash!




 I have been playing nicely - looky looky! My first baby steps in returning to knitting (last did serious - if you could call it that - knitting when I was still at school)


My sky scarf - each month will be a different stitch and as I go along I intend to get braver and attempt more complicated patterns.




I am having such fun firstly doing the recording of the sky colours - I am keeping an eye over the whole day which is why there are so many colour variations and then translating my colouring into knitting is actually good fun. 


I suspect you 'proper' knitters out there have noticed the fringe on the left of the scarf. This is my second attempt, the first only being a one row per day meant the final scarf would only be about 75cm long so I ditched it. However, with my first attempt I wove in all the ends, when I started this one I decided that I actually liked the fringing along the edge and am deliberately leaving a length of yarn. Once I finished the whole project I will trim them neatly.. 


Before I go - a sneak preview - just look at what my mom knitted for me!




How brilliant is that?! Oh - notice the little stool I'm standing on? Well she did that too! The socks however are the model's own (hahahaha) and yes I do deliberately choose to wear odd ones - it makes me happy :)




Pop over to the Yarnival page - it's about to be updated

  3. I'm loving that sky scarf, what a wonderful idea. The socks--awesome! My girls both love to wear odd socks, I think it shows a most interesting personality.

  5. I thinks it's great how all our sky scarves are so different. I'll do a round up at the end of the month. Mine is still stubbornly grey!

  6. WHat a great idea for the scarf. Mine, like Fiona's s has been fairly grey the last few days. Coming along although, I have to say, if I get to the end it is going to be very, very, very long!
