November 2024

This month:

In anticipation of next month, I chose a super cute Christmas colourway in pink, greens, and reds and got to knitting a pair of plain stockinette socks with an afterthought heel to preserve the self-striping pattern. The yarn I used is Biscotte Yarns Felix Self-Striping in the colourway Melon D Eau, and if you know a little French, you will recognize, like me, who read the label after the fact, that this is not at all a Christmas inspired self-patterning sock, but much more suitable for say, July. Maybe Christmas in July. These are Watermelon socks, insert gut laughing at myself.

In an attempt to organize myself a bit, I came across a pile of granny squares I crochet and work on from time to time with no project plan at all. I like to check in on them, pet them a bit, make sure they are all getting along. That sort of thing.

I completed my Cozy Autumn Socks by This Handmade Life and am pleased as a pumpkin with them. I knit these fairly long in the leg and when I blocked them, they consumed my sock blockers like I consume ice cream with apple crisp. 

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
