Socks of Solid Colours






These are the latest socks that MrB has been working on yesterday and today.  They present him challenges in splicing yarn and changing colours.  I just love them!  Great pair selection for a man!  The hemmed tops can roll down a bit and you can see some blue and red, they would be awesome to wear with work boots or hiking boots.  These two colours really accent each other and are also good for unisex wear but this particular pair just happens to be a men's size 10 and MrB is keeping them for himself!  Practise, Practise Practise.......working towards perfected pairs.  It is not as easy as one thinks it may be, the art of sock making on a CSM, but just ask MrB if he isn't having fun despite the odd day here and there of frustrations with the constant learning curve.  MrB usually smiles at the end of his day!  :-)

From a pair of Socks to a scraf!

Socks that were that ended up being too large, and none of the guys I know would really be interested in wearing them...so fast thinking, I came up with the idea to sew them together for a scarf and that seems to work just fine.  I wore it out when we went to the grocery store and it is nice and super cozy warm, plus it looks so cool!  I feel like I am advertising but I'm really not.  In this picture you will see my new sock scarf that I have draped around the plant pot as I didn't want my mug shot on the blog as I am remaining anonymous for now!
