Sorry for a very blurry pic today! (it's very dark in the Hebrides today - oooooohhhhh!) I'm hoping to stuff this 'tweedie' beach ball today - it's been a WIP (work in progress) for longer than I care to remember :) In between I'll be picking up my Van Gogh sock project - we're almost done, yippee!! Once I started on them, well . . . I just couldn't stop hehe :) I've really enjoyed my sock-knitting spree - these will be finished this weekend hopefully. It's been taking me a couple of weeks on average to finish a pair, and I have to say that I love making them! Can I now officially call myself a 'sock-knitter'?
Sock-knitters seem to have a slightly separate identity from any other kind of knitters - I'm very eager to be invited into their world! (I think I'm bonkers enough LOL!) I think what appeals to me most is the variety of colour, pattern, etc. you can play around with on one small garment - so much fun to be had :) Must remember 'tweedie' work though - my lovely bloggie friend Mojca has given me a fab write-up over on her blog - how sweet is that? Thankyou Mojca - too kind!!! :) :)
Must dash - things to stuff and things to knit - more creative peeps over yonder :)

Yes, you are most definitely a sock knitter Alison.... they look great. The more you blog about socks the closer I am to knitting a pair. You'll be set for the Winter, with nice warm feet........

You're definitely a sock knitter! I've knitted for many years without ever attempting socks. One sock maybe OK ... but two matching ones ....?! I admire anyone who can produce two matching socks - and yours look fab!
Alison sock knitter : it sounds good!!!!
and what about your tweed beach ball??? Simply fantastic!!!

Sock knitters are different cos they understand sock knitting directions. I got lost after line 2. :D
