Have Ewe Any Wool?

Picture Mania!

Felted Noni Bag parts, generic wool I'm spinning, my progress on the Maple Leaf Socks KAL, and my progress on the Bertie Scarf KAL. (Click on the photos for a closer view!)

Noni Bag Parts - I still have to sew it all together! ARGH!!!!




Generic brown fleece I'm spinning with the drop spindle as part of the "Summer Spinning Challenge" and a close up of the sock I'm knitting in Wildfoote for the Maple Leaf Sock KAL.









Finally, front and back views of the "Bertie Scarf" from the Bertiealong KAL....I have to rip out the beading row as it's not done properly....you can see the beads on the BACK but NOT on the front!









I also completed knitting the "ugliest socks in the world" - these were also a TOTAL pain in the back side to knit. My DD wanted these because the toe area is sooooo nice and roomy and she envisions slipping into them when watching TV. I told her the socks are knit too big and won't be very comfortable....plus, it's got SEAMS down not one, but BOTH sides! It's a Jo Sharp pattern from Contemporary Knits. Never again!!!!


(The socks are the same size....the difference seen is a combination of the angle, plus the one sock was "modeled"....and so it "stretched out" a bit.)

    I would love to check out the sock pattern... it is so pretty! Any my Noni in in the same position as yours (except you at least have straps)

    gorgeous flowers, I just ordered a Noni pattern! You are a BAD influence. Congrats on finishing the "ugly" socks. Amazing what you do for love. I also have the Maple Leaf pattern - I'll get around to it one of these days. See you Sunday?
