2023 Projects 007 Kathy Socks 002

Dear Readers

These are the second pair of socks I have knit for my aunty Kathy. I started knitting them in Cape Town while I was on holiday there and then I finished them back in Scotland. As she lives in South Africa I will have to wait until May to give them to her.

2023 Projects 005 Grey and Blue Scrappy Socks

Dear Readers,

This next project was actually started in January but as it was made with lots of sock scraps I didn’t want to take it with me to South Africa and potentially lose something. So it got set aside and I have only recently picked it up and finished them off.

2023 Projects 004 Knitted Skinny Scarf

Dear Readers,

In January I knitted my mother a scarf which I sort of made up the pattern for so I have just called it the skinny scarf. It was inspired by a whole lot of scarves I had been seeing on Instagram. A pattern for that scarf is avaliable called the Sophie Scarf, but I made up my own version. I had some yarn in stash which I had initially purchased for myself but then I came to realise that it was not really a colour that I would enjoy wearing all that much and my mom hinted that it was a colour that she would enjoy wearing… and thus it all happened.

2023 Projects 003 Husband Socks 007

Dear Readers,

I have knit Husband so many pairs of socks that we can go two weeks inbetween sock washing days! It has begun to get to the point where husband has indicated that although he loves getting socks from me he doesn’t really need any more… long socks that is! He only has two pairs of short socks, well plus this pair makes three. As I have discussed in a previous blog post about wearing wool socks in summer, husband likes the look of short socks when he is wearing shorts.

2023 Projects 002 Newphew Hats

Dear Readers,

This next post is actually two projects that I made for the same recipient. My S-I-L asked me to make a new hat for my nephew and she told me how she wanted it to look. I was not 100% sure of the sizing so I decided to make two. <y nephew is still young and young children just grow so fast!

New Tam O ‘Shanter

Dear Readers,

A few years ago I designed some Tam O ‘Shanters in memory of my Grandmother who passed away in 2019. One of them I called Margareet in Stripes and I wear it a lot. I love the way it fits and for a lot of occasions I love the cheery colourfulness. However I do find that some times I am looking for something more subtle, so I have decided to knit myself a new one in black.
